In addition to the fact that the Secretary of State for the Commonwealth and the state's lawyers, and the state's expert witness are ALL Democrats who argued before the court that Stein/Clinton/Soros case is without merit, by withdrawing her contest petition before Commonwealth Court, she now faces an even higher legal hurdle in Federal Court.

Originally, she had "merely" to establish a prima facie case that there was fraud, tampering or incompetence so widespread as to call the result of the election into doubt.

That argument could be made on the basis of a public good, in which she was just one interested party. Now, in order to get an injunction in Federal Court she must show that she personally faces irreparable harm if the election contest does not go forward.

Stein/Clinton/Soros painted themselves into this corner when they withdrew their petition at the state level.

If that weren't bad enough, in his questioning earlier today the US District Judge raised the issue that there was a serious danger of disenfranchising all of PA voters if he grants the injunction, and scolded Stein's lawyers implicitly by asking them why they waited until last Monday to bring the case to Federal Court.

Ouch.

Looks over to me, even without a ruling.

“Stein/Clinton/Soros painted themselves into this corner when they withdrew their petition at the state level.”

that’s what i thought too, but not being a lawyer, I thought perhaps the Fed court would would reject their claim because they had yet to fully avail themselves of remedy in the State courts.

After all, how does the Fed court know that Stein wouldn’t have obtained what she sought if she had simply followed the requirement of Pennsylvania law that a recount was possible by seeking a Pennsylvania court order after all other deadlines had past? Seems like the Fed court would be forced to rule on a hypothetical situation that didn’t actually occur.

I agree, and would add that the election officials who are essentially accused of participating in a giant conspiracy by Stein and her experts are also Democrats. So under Stein’s theory a number of Democrats hatched a plan in Pennsylvania to throw the election to Trump. I guess they were supposed to be under some kind of Russian mind control ray gun.

Great analysis

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