Here's the executive summary for anyone who's confused:

A district judge (obama appointment) in the Federal circuit felt that that the MI courts' ruling on the matter might come to late for a recount to succeed.

Pending the MI court decision, he ordered the recount to begin.

The US appeals court above him just ruled that he did NOT exceed his authority in ordering the recount to start, pending the MI courts decision.

The US appeals court told him if the MI court ruled, they expected him to dissolve his order, or to act accordingly.

Now the MI appeals court has ordered the recount stopped.

Most likely, the district judge will not dissolve his order until an appeal to the MI Supreme Court is handed down.

Why wouldn’t he dissolve his order thereby allowing appeals court denial of Stein to go into effect?? Why would he wait until an appeal to the state Supreme Court?

From the 6th court appeal ruling: "If subsequently, the Michigan courts determine the ... recount is improper under Michigan state law for any reason, we expect the district court to entertain any properly filed motions to dissolve or modify this order in this case."

[roostercogburn]

Ok.... so is the recount dead? Just have to wait a few hours for legal wrangling to wrap it up?

Great summary, Fred! You clearly aren’t a lawyer. I could understand what you wrote. And I mean that in the kindest way possible!

That makes sense to me as a layman. The State Court had they not suspended would have been in violation of the 6th circuit. So now the AG needs to petition the circuit judge to shut it down, which he likely will do unless Stein has an appeal to the State SC which she will likely do. So the charade will continue until the State SC rules.

Pending the MI court decision, he ordered the recount to begin.

He also said that the recount should continue until his court said otherwise. Arrogant jerk

Take a lesson here GOPee - the LEFT never gives up, no matter what, how long, or what method must be used.
