Thanks. People here are strapped beyond belief to get this done in the judge-ordered time frame. I have been extremely angry about this
Oh. I see you are a fellow Michigander. Now I get your anger...
Who is the one jackwagon that voted to continue the recount when the Court said it was improper?
aEUR<Jill Stein’s joint application for leave to appeal (in MiSC)
Filed 10:51 this morning
The US District Court asserted jurisdiction as a practical matter: IF the MI courts upheld a recount, Goldsmith claimed a due process violation would occur if the recount could not be completed on time. Therefore, he ordered the recount to begin early, pending the MI courts' decision.
The US Circuit Court upheld Goldsmith's action on appeal, writing that he did not exceed his authority in ordering what was a prophylactic measure.
Even though the US Circuit Court made the ruling on a very narrow basis, a dissenting judge on the US Circuit Court found Goldsmith's actions improper, saying that restraining orders are not orders for actions to proceed, but they are causes for actions to be (oddly) ... restrained. So there is at least one sensible judge in the 6th US Circuit.
That one dissenter is a wingnut!
It is costing our state a million dollars each day. And considerable hardship because if the way this state is developed.
Nope. One of the tricks courts routinely use is delay.
Thank You! I was not aware they had yet filed.
My pleasure. I was curious a couple hours ago, and looked for a filing ...

That is exactly what he is doing.
Lack of funds might be an excuse, but, the precincts DID complete their counts. If the precincts were underfunded, they should not have been able to complete in a timely manner.
Bingo. He cares not at all.
I don’t think it matters what happens in the MISC. If they reject Stein, Goldsmith will slow walk the decision on stopping the recount until Stein files another motion on some other grounds with him. Recount will be finished by the time all this is wrapped up.
That same day, Dr. Stein filed a response to the objections, asserting that MCL 168.879(1)(b) only required her to allege generally that she was aggrieved. She further asserted that the statue did not require her to meet any particular standard or offer proof to demonstrate her aggrieved status.
How is this a serious legal argument?
Maybe. BUT, the recount now has no legal force regardless of how it turns out, and Goldsmith cannot change that fact simply by allowing it to continue.
To those of you who are interpreting this for the rest of us - thank you.
My take is that this is over, recounts or not. I was a pearl clutcher at the very beginning, but I’ve been over that for about a week.
I hope that the Dem vote fraud in Milwaukee and Detroit is exposed to the point that Stein/Hillary regret opening this can of whoop ass.
Always be careful what you wish for. Bad grammar but you get the point.
Well we are screwed then. Thanks for telling me though. Do you know what happens if we cannot complete the recount in time as Goldsmith ordered us to? The whole state is charged with contempt? Or justvthrvrlection folk?
We are hurting here big-time. Scrambling for help with no notice. But then that was what Goldsmith wanted.
Congress can (and should) remove the lower Federal Courts’ jurisdiction from all recount issues.
Any appeal that challenges the state courts should go direct to SCOTUS. Time after an election is of the essence.
