In 2009 Leon Panetta ended some top secret CIA program that could not be named. Said the Gang of 8 had not been informed.
I don’t know if anyone ever figured out the program.
Even if the CIA rigged an election for Chavez and even if that program was used here..and even if by some miracle they found a smoking gun - is there a realistic mechanism to stop Biden from becoming President?
Yes, I know about the electors gambit. That isn’t going to happen.
What I forsee, if anything...is some long drawn out investigation and hearings etc.
“ is there a realistic mechanism to stop Biden from becoming President?”
Not on this side of the Rubicon.
On to Sam Alito to weigh in, I don’t think it’s going to be pretty for the RATS.
That is how I see it.
I refuse to get on the Hope Train.
I have accepted reality.
I am glad Trump is fighting though. Whatever happened should be investigated and exposed.
Brann was an active Republican in PA and I've heard he's solid. He got the judgeship in a deal Toomey did with Obama.
What a bunch of crap.
Trump sis NOT trying to *invalidate* the election.
Nobody has been elected yet and media say so doesn’t determine who the president it.
>> in a deal Toomey did
That’s not saying much. Toomey turned out to be a jackass.
If you read the actual decision you can see why this case should never have been filed, it’s embarrassing.
They need to actual evidence of actual fraud sufficient to change results. Statistical experts and weird internet stuff from conspiracy sites isn’t going to cut it.
No but when it gets the SCOTUS the unconstitutional nature of their actions will be what changes everything.
Saw that. Makes we wonder how solid he was if junior nominated him.
The standing inquiry as to the Trump Campaign is particularly nebulous because neither in the [complaint] nor in its briefing does the Trump Campaign clearly assert what its alleged injury is.
They’re trying to say 7 million votes should be invalidated because counties *might* have differed in whether they implemented the “notice-and-cure” process, with no evidence that that process affected enough votes to change the outcome. I can’t see the Supreme Court doing anything with this. If we expect Barrett, Kavanaugh, etc. to come out for President Trump there needs to be at least a reasonable argument, and this isn’t it. There is no chance the Supreme Court will just overturn the election because it wants to.
Thanks for your insight
This is excellent news! I knew it would go to the SCOTUS, but had no idea they would be given this express lane to get there!
If it’s a federal judge, nothing at all happens. They have lifetime appointments and can only be removed by impeachment (and Congress won’t impeach a judge because they disagree with how the judge rules on a case).
Got it one.
Judge is a Republican active in Republican politics - he was appointed as part of a trade with Sen. Toomey.

They are not saying it, the legislators did.
It might be hard for a judge to invalidate all the mail in ballots, but the legislators specifically wrote that in the law.
It laid out a set of requirements for accepting mail in ballots for the pandemic. However, they also put a clause in there. It states that if any of their requirements were changed, it would invalidate all mail in ballots.
If the Judge follows the law as written, he or she would have no choice but to throw out all the mail in ballots.
This case wasn’t about Act 77, since Act 77 doesn’t address “curing” (or fixing errors) on ballots. You’re correct that Act 77 says that if any part of it is ruled illegal, the whole Act 77 must be ruled illegal. But, no part of Act 77 has been ruled illegal.
The allegation was that some Democratic counties allowed curing, while some Republican counties didn’t, and that this violated the Equal Protection Clause. But they didn’t have evidence showing that this happened or that it affected the result.
