Baby T's Final Supremes Gambit Is... "Profoundly Incoherent."


I will only quote (below, in blue) -- and link -- the Pennsylvania position papers, as they set forth. . . objective reality.

Everything Rudy G. and his team have filed is. . . well. . . simply. . . bonkers (that's a term of art, BTW). Baby T will be bounced. Again. [Some of the background here.]

. . .The Trump Campaign attempts to justify its unreasonable delay by baldly claiming, in a footnote, that its petition “did not fully ripen” until this Court denied injunctive relief in Kelly v. Pennsylvania, 20A98, and the motion to file a bill of complaint in Texas v. Pennsylvania, 22O155. Motion at 1 n.1. The Trump Campaign’s contention is profoundly incoherent. . . .

The election is now over. It has been four weeks since the Pennsylvania Governor signed a certificate of ascertainment certifying the Election for President-Elect Biden, and one week after Pennsylvania’s Electoral College formally cast its votes in favor of President-Elect Biden. Time has run out for the Trump Campaign and its acolytes to continue their baseless efforts to overturn the results of this election. With each ensuing attempt, the applicants have become more desperate and more disconnected from the law and reality. As Justice Scalia once observed, “[i]nsanity, it has been said, is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Four times is enough.” Sykes v. United States, 564 U.S. 1, 28 (2011) (Scalia, J. dissenting), overruled by Johnson v. United States, 576 U.S. 591 (2015). . . .


Onward, grinning at just about everything, as we escape the hell that 2020, in the main -- was. . . in about 24 hours, now. Hug your kids -- and look ahead -- to better days, come January 21, 2021. We still have some mud to slog through, here -- it seems, but it will be very short lived, now.
