  1. I'm still not getting it. This was a with prejudice dismissal. The dismissal would have to either be reversed or converted to a without prejudice dismissal before an amended complaint could be filed. But I don't see where they're asking for that relief.
  2. I don't have anything close to enough bourbon in the house to spend time on the TexAg thread.
  3. How can they even do this though? You can't amend a dismissed complaint. I think they're trying to appeal the dismissal, but that's not what they're asking for. Unless I'm missing something, and I may well be given the convoluted nonsense they're putting out there, they aren't asking for something they can possibly get, even if their allegations weren't batshit.
  4. Well, at least one Republican is, checks notes, tweeting about the nonsense.
  5. I listened to the beginning of Giuliani’s argument. And he repeats the nonsense about fraud in mail I’m voting. Other lawyers have submitted nonsense affidavits. I’m not suggesting every lawyer who argued on trumps behalf be disbarred. But there should be career consequences for many of them.
  6. I’m a lawyer and agree with you. I wish the call to sanction these lawyers came from inside the house and not from an out of state politician. But they shouldn’t be able to use their law licenses in an attempt to play footsie with treason without consequence. These lawyers are actively trying to subvert the government and the constitution they all swore an oath to protect. Some are worse than others. Eg. Giuliani arguing in court there was fraud and then holding press conferences filled with lies in an attempt to overthrow the government. I’m baffled that anyone thinks the first amendment means there shouldn’t be consequences to his career for that.
  7. I'm comfortable with finding that using the court system to try and overthrow the election based on lies and innuendo is more than having overzealous political loyalties. Overzealous political loyalties involves going on tv or wherever to make stupid points. You use your law license to abuse the court system in this way, you should lose your license. There is no good faith reason to be bringing these suits. They have all violated their oath to "support the United States Constitution."
  8. I'm a little uneasy with a politician from out of state filing the ethics complaints. But these trump attorneys who are ginning up fraud accusations in an attempt to reverse the election results need to be sanctioned.
  9. Here you go.
  10. If they're concerned about that,just say that you can't pardon yourself. But since there was no clear law on the subject until trump did it, we'll only apply the rule prospectively. Just look at Alito's speech before the Federalist Society last week. Or anything Thomas has done. They're partisan hacks.
  11. This. And if anyone thinks a Court with Barrett, Gorsuch, Kav, Alito, and Thomas on it is voiding a pardon issued by trump to himself, well I got a bridge for ya.
  12. Yes. Most likely. The only other possibility I can think of is that the suits are also moot—I.e. the number of votes at issue is far less than Biden’s margin of victory so the judge’s decision can’t possibly matter anyway.
  13. Any relation to Rebekah Mercer?
  14. To which I say to them "Fuck your feelings." Beautiful conservative tears.
  15. So they clearly don't expect to find any fraud in reality. Hell, even if they did get some manufactured info, can you imagine cross examining the witness who didn't say a word about witnessing voter fraud until being offered over $25,000 to come up with something.
  16. Foreign countries need to cut off diplomacy with our State Department. And I can't believe I just typed that. If we're not going recognize our own election results, other nations need to stop engaging with the Pompeo State Department.
  17. This about sums up the legal side of things.
  18. He needs jail first. Maybe he shouldn't be convicted, and placed in prison, as is the case with lots of other people, including a lot of people of color and a lot of people convicted of drug crimes. Not sure how a lengthy prison sentence from him helps society. But he needs face the real threat of loss of freedom, some time in jail, legal fees, etc. --consequences for his actions And he needs to be made an example of for anyone else thinking of threatening the President Elect.
