Great analysis
You think Stein/Clinton/Soros won’t apply To SCOTUS without Scalia there?

FRAP didn't keep the state GOP from getting a quick hearing and decision, when they lost in Goldsmith's court.
And FWIW, Dec 13 marks safe harbor, not drop dead. Even Dec 19 is not drop dead.
That was an appeal from a Temporary Restraining Order, not a final decision. Steiner could seek an emergency stay order, but she would have to allege that the District Court abused its discretion in doing something that the prior decision of the Court of Appeals told him to do.
The two wimps were Dems, the other 3 who denied recount were Republicans. The other two, who were on SCOTUS LIST, removed themselves from hearing the case.
I find challenge to be an integral part of life, but I am not a lawyer.
I have taken and passed some legal courses, but remain a philosophical cowboy (as claimed by some of my "superiors" during employment).
They would need to bribe, threaten get turned 38 electors I think to make it go to House of Reps.
See, there is a way to get back in front of the 6th Circuit!
I don't think there's much point in getting into the technical weeds, but I think she has at least one other failed argument she could deploy.
The context remains in the nature of TRO, she should have one and the District Court erred in denying it.
And as you note, the 6th Circuit can use FRAP to kick her out, if they want to. If she does appeal, I think they'll boot her on substance, not procedure.
thanks for the link. HOORAY Michigan Supreme Court
WOOOHOOOO Mr. Donald J. Trump. Thank you,sir.
Tiiiime is on Trump’s side
Yes, it is babe
Sorry I linked to the wrong one. I hope the people of Michigan look at the dissent and contemplate what it means, as they could end up doing manual recounts for each and every election in the state forever more in the future should some (ANY) party wish to claim that there was error or fraud involved in the election WITHOUT PUTTING FORWARD ANY EVIDENCE OF THESE ERRORS OR FRAUD.
They are, literally, a few votes away from such a thing, and the liberals on the court should be ushered out as soon as possible to prevent that from happening.
One of the good things that will come out of this attempt at “lawfare” is that states are going to tighten up their recount and election contest rules.
I think the 6th Circuit was more circumspect, and probably shared my opinion, since they clearly indicated he should dissolve his order pending the decision of the MI court.
In the footnote to his recusal letter, it's pretty clear Chief Justice Young agrees with my position and does not excuse Goldsmith's meddling.

Grind them to dust. No quarter. Then they will be “away”.
The 6th Circuit was a mixed bag. It upheld the “start recount order.” I think this was to save face for the federal courts, Judge Goldsmith in particular. It should have shot down his order, and it didn’t.
The dissent shows just how partisan judges have become in some courts. A goal for the future should be to re-establish a judiciary focused on interpreting laws, not pursuing partisan goals.
Appeals from the highest courts of a state would go to the U.S. Supreme Court, who would almost certainly not hear it for the reasons you mentioned.
It’’s on the 19th, not the 13th.
Is Cali gonna be frigging done counting by then? What a joke.
The jaghole in Texas predicts he won’t be the only one, for whatever that’s worth.

“This one would have to happen more quickly because of a federal law that says states must complete presidential recounts within 35 days of the election to ensure their electoral votes are counted. This year, that’s Dec. 13.”
Probably. Occam's Razor = she was told not to do it.
