Piece of cake.
Obviously, this will be appealed all the way to SCOTUS.
Judges are the modern day praetorian guard for democrats.

What makes you think it will be any different there? SCOTUS will not lift one finger to help President Trump. They would rather burn this country to the ground than to have President Trump win a case.
I don’t think for a second that the current “Conservative” court will be any different. We have been set up like Charlie Brown and each time we are disappointed by a seemingly solid pro-Trump judge. Someone will recuse themself or they will defer to state law or some cockamamie excuse.
Soapbox - censcored
Ballot box - fraud
Jury box - corrupt
4th box is ajar.
Regardless of the quantity and quality of the evidence of fraud, Judge James Russell probably calculated that if he ruled in Trump’s favor his life would be forfeit before midnight.
It’s Nevada.
I read the opinion.
First, this was not a District judge, it was a state judge, ruling on state law, so no appeal to SCOTUS. But an appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court is CERTAINLY in the cards.
Second, Team Trump submitted depo notices two days late, and most of its evidence was in form of affidavits. The problem is, with affidavits, (unlike depositions) you can’t cross examine. It is hearsay. And the general rule is hearsay is inadmissible. Nonetheless, the judge still looked at some of the affidavits.
Third, some of the questions raised in this court had already been ruled upon in other lawsuits, and the prior unfavorable rulings were NOT timely appealed.
The case should CERTAINLY be appealed to the Nevada Supremes. The Nevada Supremes will NOT consider new evidence. They will only review the existing record, which is not as strong as it could have been.
Local people will remember the names of the enablers when the shtf soon.
enablers...
Yes, I think there is a reason why this is drawn out. To fully expose the rats and the GOP that were traitors.
Hell is enlarging it’s fiery borders for future residents earning their one way trip to their deserved destination.
Laches?
IIRC this was invoked here because Trump had not contested procedures during the primary.
But those procedures didn’t hurt him in the primaries so why would he?
Not a lawyer, but if someone isn’t hurt why would they seek justice? And the court couldn’t do anything anyway since there was no relief to give (in the primary).
Nope. I told my son and hubby he would discover he owed someone involved or had partied at the Bunny Ranch with them.
That’s funny.

Shouldn’t Trump’s lawyers know all this? And file on time?
Generally, I have been very displeased with Rudy’s performance in all this.
Read the thread for more discussion and analysis.
Judge James Russell
Yeah I’ve read some of it- as well as in other threads you posted- Sorry you’re getting hammered be some here- that happens a lot- some people it seems have nothing better to do than to be uncivil towards others- makes them feel special i guess-
Anyways- Powell has said there is plenty of time to overturn the election results- A lot of the cases are getting thrown out- when we’re being told there’s tons of evidence- and i don;’t think it can all be down to the fact that all the judges are biased- I just don’t see how that if they can’t make the cases in lower courts, that the highest court will be much different? Unless there’s a different strategy when they get there? But my goodness I’d think they’d try to win some in lower courts first? Seem like that might strengthen their cases in the SC?
Gonna have to disbarr a crowd of blind Judges when this is over.
Or give them a Military Tribunal for Treason. Because at this point there is none so blind as a Judge who will not see. With the mountains of evidence, he has zero plausible deniability. He has an agenda and CCP coin in his pockets.
I’m a litigator so getting hammered does not annoy me one bit. Thick skin and all. But when I see this behavior, it does make me think. I hope these guys are just a tiny irrational minority, and not the true face of conservatism today.
Regarding the court losses: Powell has too many balls in the air.
But the Nevada State Court loss this afternoon really, really stung. The 35-page opinion was well-reasoned, and it was obvious to me that the case was poorly presented to the court. Hearsay affidavits not subject to cross-examination and lacking in foundation don’t carry the ball forward.
The text of the opinion can be found here, if you want to read it. Just scroll down a little. You will see that the judge went out of his way to lay out his reasoning, even going into some detail as to calibration mechanism for the machines.
On appeal the Nevada Supreme Court generally will NOT be able to review new evidence. It just reviews what the record reflects.
So, let’s see.
Hot Potato!
IF the judge ‘wrote a 55 page order’....he had it already written before the hearing.
