Breaking! Georgia Supreme Court rejects Trump's last minute appeal

ATLANTA (AP) — President Donald Trump has lost his latest legal challenge seeking to overturn Georgia’s election results, with the state Supreme Court’s rejection late Saturday of a case from Trump’s campaign and Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer.

The suit - similar to other Trump team legal challenges, which made baseless allegations of widespread fraud in Georgia’s presidential election - was initially filed Dec. 4, then rejected by the Fulton County Superior Court because the paperwork was improperly completed and it lacked the appropriate filing fees.

The case was subsequently appealed directly to the state Supreme Court, asking justices to consider the case before Monday’s meeting of the Electoral College. In a brief order, justices wrote that “petitioners have not shown that this is one of those extremely rare cases that would invoke our original jurisdiction.”

Maybe so, but filling out paperwork improperly and not paying filing fees does not bode well for us.

Lord, The President is surrounded by brick walls every place he turns. Yesterday there was a Wall of Jericho march in DC and the shofar was blown. Please Lord let the walls fall. For your glory alone we pray. Amen

How refreshing. They just reported the facts without any editorial comment.

The deep state and those afraid of the deep state are probably just ticked off that the Republicans don’t do their usual shrugging, laying down and saying “oh well, we tried...carry on” as usual! It’s that darned Trump! He won’t lie down like the rest of them always did!

At the very least doing this will keep all three branches occupied with this rather than all sorts of new mischief!

If these people are not guilty, then nobody is.

There should be nobody found guilty until this is fixed.

Well at least they didn’t delay the inevitable. Now we will see if there is merit, standing etc. as far as the black robes are concerned. Will these judges watch the video of the magic table and boxes of Biden votes appearing for their machine stuffing exhibition once the republican observers were run off and while the water pipe was being repaired?

I’m not quoting the EO. Direct foreign intervention with Americans to subvert a national election is an act of war on the part of China, and treason on the part of the Americans involved.

That requires more than the EO covers, and the fraud was above and beyond expectations.

Either the President can burn it all down under Constitutional rights and drain the swamp in one fell swoop, or we die as a nation.

Vote fraud is protected and valid.

This battle is for all of the marbles, and essentially control of this planet.

Freedom or total tyranny are the choices.

That’s what jumped out at me. The GA Supreme Court didn’t reject the premise of the case (neither, apparently did Fulton Superior Court) but rather on the basis that the Supreme Court didn’t have original jurisdiction. Now I grant that these may just be convenient excuses not to take a case, not paying a filing fee?

I would have thought after so many years in business, that President Trump would have ‘binders of top-notch lawyers’ at his disposal. I know some have fallen by the wayside, but still...

I think that's possible, but then again, I doubt that anybody who acts is going to risk being squashed by going full frontal.
