There was no indication that the plaintiffs gave notice to the adverse parties of the morning’s motion, there was no affidavit filed with the motion, the complaint is not verified and there was no certification from counsel about the efforts made to give notice to the adverse parties or why notice should not be required.
At 3:15 that afternoon, the plaintiffs filed another document. It appears on the docket as a motion to amend or correct, but the document itself is captioned, “Plaintiffs’ Corrected Motion for Declaratory, Emergency, and Permanent Injunctive Relief.”
This motion indicates that the earlier motion was an inadvertently filed draft and acknowledges that the referenced proposed order had not been attached.
At the end of the “corrected,” or amended, motion, under the heading “Certificate of Electronic Service,” the motion states,
There is a proposed order attached to the afternoon’s amended motion.
The proposed order asks various injunctions, declarations and orders. It does not ask for a hearing. Because the afternoon motion indicates that the plaintiffs “will” provide electronic notice to the adverse parties, the court does not know whether the plaintiffs have yet provided notice to the adverse parties or when they will do so.
Until the plaintiffs notify the court that they have provided notice to the adverse parties, the court will not take any action because the motion does not comply with the requirements of Rule 65(b).
If the plaintiffs have provided notice to the adverse parties, under Civil Local Rule 7(b) those parties have twenty-one days to respond to the motion and under CivilL.R. 7(c) the plaintiffs have fourteen days to reply. While the caption of the motion includes the word “emergency” and the attached proposed order seeks an “expedited” injunction, neither the motion nor the proposed order indicate whether the plaintiffs are asking the court to act more quickly or why. As indicated, the motion does not request a hearing. It does not propose a briefing schedule.
For about 25 years, I’ve studied propaganda and tactics used in narrow interest political and social efforts. Motives and alliances are revealed by profiles.

[Excerpt:]
“Film and media career
Powell served as producer on the drama Decoding Annie Parker (2013), providing guidance to help bring the film to a commercial release. The film tells the story of Annie Parker[76] and the discovery of the BRCA1 breast cancer gene. The film went on to raise millions of dollars for cancer charities.[77]
Personal life
Powell has a son from a former marriage. She has participated in volunteer work for women’s shelters and other charities.[5]”
$500 an hour is on the cheap side of this kind of thing.

[Excerpt:]
“Two people indicated that they had been included as plaintiffs in election-related lawsuits Powell brought, despite them not having given permission to be included. Derrick Van Orden, an unsuccessful Republican candidate for Congress, stated that he only “learned through social media” that he had been included in Powell’s Wisconsin lawsuit.[64] Jason Shepherd, the Republican Party Chairman of Cobb County, said he had not agreed to join Powell’s Georgia lawsuit when it was first filed.[65]
As part of her evidence in the Georgia lawsuit, Powell included an affidavit from Ron Watkins, who administrated the 8kun/8chan website which houses the online base of QAnon. In his affidavit, Watkins stated that his reading of an online user guide for Dominion Voting Systems software led him to conclude that election fraud might be “within the realm of possibility”. Watkins did not provide any legitimate evidence of fraud.[66]
As part of her evidence in the Michigan lawsuit, Powell submitted her witness’ declaration that Joe Biden had “received more than 100% of the votes” in Edison County, however, Michigan has no such Edison County.[67]
QAnon
Powell has been described by some sources as a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory,[68][69] a far-right conspiracy theory which alleges that a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring and plotting against President Donald Trump, who is fighting the cabal.[70] Powell has retweeted major QAnon accounts and catchphrases and appeared on QAnon shows on YouTube,[69] but has denied knowledge of QAnon.[5]”
Agreed. But most people, in general, are not spending more than $500 an hour on a personal matter lawyer unless it is spend your life in jail type of thing
A LOT more. She's been begging for donations on her website (with no disclosure). DJT has reported raising $150 million post election. I assume Powell has not raised that but she must have raised millions.
I saw elsewhere that someone said she e-filed the wrong document by mistake.
It’s more like a rally....not a press conference.
Why is she making so many mistakes?
Most tactics in the politics of banana republics are based on deception, and many, on infiltration and misdirection of the opposition. Those who carry out dramatic illusions are sometimes substantially remunerated.
The original motion asked for relief as set forth in the attached proposed order.
But no proposed order was attached.
Also, there was no proof it was served on anyone.
Also, it did not ask for an expedited hearing.
A corrected motion was filed, that afternoon, and it included a proposed order, but there was no application to expedite the hearing, and there was no proof that any of this was served on anyone.
I don’t really blame Powell. She is a former Federal prosecutor, so she knows her way around Fed. Rules of Criminal Procedure, but clearly she is still learning the Fed Rules of Civil Procedure.
I just wish she had an attorney on her team to deal with these procedural technicalities, so that she could focus on the big stuff.
Well, is she doing anything to help so far?
Failing to give notice is a violation of the rules, procedural and substantive due process.
Imagine destroying the will to vote in large numbers of Democrats from within their own ranks. Elections would be easy to win. Now, imagine that happening to us in 2022, 2024 and into the foreseeable future.
Too much of our modern court system is more interested in choreography than reality.
all I was saying was how it should work that isn’t necessarily how it does work so you can take your nasty attitude to somewhere else besides posting to me thank you and have a great day God bless you
“Well, is she doing anything to help so far?”
More than you, I’d venture to say.
I know you were referring to a different motion.
Your still full of crap.
But the damage is done when the first accounting of the story hits the presses.
Is this normally a big deal or was it made so by this Obama puppet?
It’s tough to put together ANY 105 page document in a couple of days, let alone a legal document.
