This is why she stopped her action at the state level. How did she know IN ADVANCE she would get a sympathetic judge? Hmmm..
Larry will tell you that MI certified their electors last week so therefore this is all kabuki theater. Done deal as far as the state of MI is concerned.
I see..
In this case, the state election commission deadlocked (on recount or not, period), so Trump's objections were rejected. Appeal of that decision is what the OP is about.
What the federal court did was over-ride the MI law that says recounting is to wait for two days while the loser below (Trump) gets his appeal of right. A recount was going to happen unless reversed by the state court.
Yeah, twitter is private.
He is still making Stein ^choke^ on her effort (and, thereby upstaging HerSelf).
The State can tell the Fed Judge to go f’off on issues of State (US) Constitutional Duty. If time were of the essence, S0r0$ should have had Jill file for a recount the day after the election. Waiting for the last moment doesn’t create an emergency.
EXCLUSIVE GOP legally barred from fighting vote fraud
Good news is that it finally expires at the end of this year.
Yeah Kabuki theater being played out of the Dems losing all over again.
That would be my position were I the judge. “Your lack of planning doesn’t constitute a crisis.”
No they are barred from doing so. See my post #28.
To be crude...She has a bratwurst stuck in her throat.
Is the GOP ball-less? I don’t get it.
Bwaa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haaaaaaaa...
(deep recovery breath)
Bwaa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haaaaaaaa...
Clearly you forgot your sarcasm tag.
Because, as I said over and over and over again, she knew that she could not “run the clock out” on anything.
Yeah the fed judge said he’ll be the one to determine if the recount was stopped.
If the state courts rule to stop it, the fed judge will have to agree.
But *THE MOST INTERESTING THING THE JUDGE RULED*...
Michigan can charge their costs against Stein’s fee- even if the recount is stopped. She could lose ALL that fee and not even get a recount LOL!
Two separate cases, explained better on the thread.
Umm, no. Read Judge Goldsmith’s ruling. In his conclusion, he said the recount would start and continue under his order, the state would assemble sufficient staff and work enough hours to get it done. Sounds to me like he removed the state courts from the process. He also ordered that any defendants associated with this would cease all opposition.
“Why doesn’t the GOP demand that NV be recounted (where Clinton won).”
Because it will be easier for President Trump to sic the DOJ on them once he is inaugurated. And with that, implicate Harry Reid.
He is going to get overruled, investigated and then impeached. He then will be sentenced to narfle the Garthok and lose his head.
The MI court gonna tell the feds to pound sand? I’d love it.
