They are Republicans. Respecting the law. This is absolutely front page above the fold news!

Any sense of how well this move is working?
(I almost said chess move, but the activity is more like poo-slinging, in the hopes that enough will stick.)

Iām going to guess it will be laughed out of the courts, as basically all the previous Trumpoid attempts to get the courts to overturn the election, and make the Orange Shitgibbon into a winner instead of a loser, have been.

Maybe. Itās just that Kathy seems like a smarter sort than one who would just post with no commentary a link to sure-to-fail effort number 37 or whatever.

It seems highly unlikely to prevail. But - itās still newsworthy as itās more gumming up the world and trying to make the Biden administration appear illegitimate to the far right yahoos.

This is nuts. Theyāre now claiming that the law, which passed over a year ago thanks to overwhelming republican support at the time, is unconstitutional.

If I spent that much on hair care, Iād expect it to look like someone who knew what they were doing had done the work. Iād expect to look more like Burt Reynolds, Charlton Heston or Wm. Shatner than someone who apparently transplanted an albino horsetail.

I skimmed that opinion, Iām no legal scholar but āscathingā is right. You get the sense that the Judgeās fingers were probably trembling with rage and disgust as he typed the thing.
In other words, Plaintiffs ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters. This Court has been unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election, in terms of the sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated. One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens.
That has not happened. Instead, this Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative complaint and unsupported by evidence. In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state. Our people, laws, and institutions demand more. At bottom, Plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Therefore, I grant Defendantsā motions and dismiss Plaintiffsā action with prejudice.

Now they move into selling the whole āactivist judges working on behalf of the deep stateā narrative.
