“Most likely, the district judge will not dissolve his order until an appeal to the MI Supreme Court is handed down.”
So, Stein’s smart move is to not appeal to the MI Supreme Court unless the state asks Goldsmith to vacate his order. Until then, the recount can continue. When Goldsmith is asked to vacate, then she appeals to the state Supreme Court. She can play for time.
MI will pay a visit to Goldsmith tomorrow - at which point Stein’s lawyers will indicate that they will appeal today’s decision - to which Goldsmith will respond by refusing to vacate his order. Then Stein et al can drag their feet on their way to an appeal.
Hard to keep up, and even harder for a layman lie myself to understand, but I did read that the Michigan AG is petitioning the District Judge ASAP.
I think she will appeal to the Michigan SC in order to give Goldsmith a reason to not dissolve his “count till I say” ruling.
