Not really they wanted to a lower court to rule on it first
At this point, there is enough poop in the pipeline to ask the USSC to delay the 12/14 deadline.
The federal courts are unlikely to rule that the states can commit fraud and then stonewall until the clock runs out.
And if the courts don’t finish the litigation in time it goes back to the legislature to choose the electors.
“The Trump campaign’s lead lawyer in Wisconsin, Jim Troupis, framed the decision as a qualified win.”
You all can count on Jim Troupis to do whatever he can to help Trump WIN the election he already WON in Wisconsin!
If Jim wants it to start at a lower court to gain steam, that works for me.
Running the clock out...
As long as the suit includes a federal claim, which it surely must in this situation, it can be taken up directly now by the federal court system —
Foot dragging, running the clock out.....................
The courts have nothing to do with the election now that Dec. 3 has passed. It’s beholden upon the WI Legislature to come up with a slate of electors, or be removed from consideration at the Electoral College. We’re in 2nd Amendment territory, and the US Constitution is primary authority, not the Governors, nor the courts.
The Wisconsin constitution DOES allow the state supreme court to take cases that have not come up through lower courts. Hagedorn decided this issue incorrectly. So now we have to ask why did a man who ran as a constitutional conservative do this? Does he want to avoid the court having to make a controversial decision? Does someone have something to hold over his head? We will probably never know why he decided what he did. I hope the Trump lawyers leave this and spend their time and money on MI, NZ, AZ and PA, because something is up with Hagedorn and they will not get a fair shake in the WI supreme court.
Go to Scotus re both issues if can.
