Just came across wires.... recount stopped by state appeals court!
NO.
They have no problem ASSERTING jurisdiction.
In order for them to EXERT jurisdiction, they need the willing cooperation of the State of Michigan, and of the people, which should (rightly) be refused by both.
I live in Zeeland.
At least these might help give him the popular vote, which i pray he yet gets.
State Supreme Court...5-2 Republican majority court by the way...There's something you don't hear everyday.
They are going to find indescrepancies they can use to their advantage. This whole thing is fixed and the liberal judges are in place for a reason.
That is clearly a matter only of Michigan election law, and Michigan's sole authority to regulate its elections is recognized in Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution.
All that Goldschmidt was allowed to rule was that there could be a due process violation IF the Michigan courts ruled the recount could proceed but it could not be completed in time. That is why he directed the recount to begin early -- just in case.
However, he has no authority over Michigan election law whatsoever, unless someone can prove to him that MI law violates equal protection, due process, or some other part of the US Constitution. No one has made that argument.
His ruling was not on the merits of Stein/Clinton/Soro's petition, which, let me repeat again, he has no authority whatsoever to rule on.
A mere formality of filing a motion at the Federal District Court level, because the Federal Court of Appeals 6th district stated something along the line(s) of,: until the Michigan courts rule(s) blah, blah....
Michigan courts, now having ruled, i.e. FU Stien.
“Violating the order of a federal judge can net you prison time.
No one here is gonna stop counting until Goldsmith says we can.”
Then they can continue to count all they want for the purpose of playing it safe if they choose, but the results of the recount are now null and void, as the recount has been ruled illegal. Because of the MI court ruling, I think we’ll see a quick ruling by the federal judge or the federal appeals court if the judge fails to cooperate.
Since this judge took it upon himself to disregard and change our State Law per the recount start, would seem none of our other State Laws would mean anything to him either...
Exactly. Why is it that only fellow Michiganders get this stuff???
Thank you!! My husband and I feel the same and just discussed this very point earlier.
It seems that many at the Federal level now interpret the United States of America as to being 1 State, not 50...That is certainly what they've been pushing for...
Doctor Stein is on a fast track to oblivion. Just another Egg McNothing in the end.
I’ve been tracking the donations on her website since yesterday morning ... about 40 hours... she needs $9.5-$10 million to make all this happen. Right now she is at $7.207 million and she is only adding around $1,100 per hour. At her current rate, it will take another 70+ days to meet her goal.
As of right now she is underwater, having spent or committed to over $7.5 million and that cost(lawyers, election observer lawyers and field staff) is growing by the hour.
It looks like she is done on a legal basis and also boxed in with no funds to pay for more challenges. It sure looks like nobody is coming to her rescue!
Is there any law that requires the 6th circuit to hear the case before the 19th, and rule on it???
“You don’t have to be a Republican or Trump voter to be royally pissed”
That’s exactly why CNN and the MSM are not covering this story at all...they are still taking orders from the Clintons, who want to make it seem like they are detached from the recount effort, when of course they are not.
There should be some backlash to all of this because it is so blatant and so unabashed. “by any means necessary” means exactly what it says.
Cha-ching !
Alawahoo Whackbar!
“There should be some backlash to all of this”
I’d like to see some effort put into two federal laws:
A 50 state requirement to show an approved ID to vote in any election. In today’s day and age, there is absolutely no excuse for not having a proper ID. Give the people 2 years to understand the law and prepare for it.
Also, a group of Federal laws regarding voter fraud, from the individual to larger voter fraud efforts, that have minimum sentencing guidelines that are harsh; monetary fines PLUS jail time from 6 months to 30 years. Make the punishment a life destroyed for the perps. Give this a 2 year timeline to understand the penalties.
You mean like a rocker panel?
