This is a double edged sword. If the 6th decides against Michigan this is the end of the trail. The SCOTUS if there is an appeal might decide but if they tie, the decision the 6th makes will stand with no more appeal.
What is the political balance of the 6th court of appeals? Do we have a decent chance of a fair hearing with them?
“The SCOTUS if there is an appeal might”
I’m betting that the SC will not take up this case in any form.
Well the count has started regardless... at this point even if 6th circuit denies, no additional harm will come other than the counting.
I think that is what the left is shooting for now. Lets face it, with the Wisconsin recount half complete and Hillary actually losing votes and Pennsylvania looking to be dead in the water, they know at this point that nothing they do is going to change the election result. So they are shooting for the next best thing, starting so many legal battles that the Republicans will be forced to take it all the way to the Supreme Court, just to insure that Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania get certified before the electoral college meets. Then the left can scream, "Selected not elected!" and "They must be hiding fraud, they shut down the recount!" for the next four years.
The precedent is Bush v. Gore.
Trump’s rights under the 14th. Amendment are being
violated by Jill Stein and her recounts.
Of course a ruling that quotes that case is just
the bloody shirt the Left is looking to come away
with here.
Does the federal court even have jurisdiction over state matters such as this?
