You can't read it because it's unreadable word salad.

The sentence immediately following “COMPLETE VICTORY” says “most of the claims”

There's a formula for that: 60% of the time x 100% of the time = it works.

Am I the only one who’s disappointed that he doesn’t spell “statute” as “statue”? That would’ve been low hanging fruit comedy.

Literally the first thing I looked for.

Bitch out there sounding like Miss teen South Carolina “I personally believe that witch hunt such as the Saudi Arabia and Russia…and the demise of our country like the politically motivated…”

Well, she did say she would rather be hot than smart. She's an old man 8, and an intellectual 3- at least she's playing to her strengths. And with the right audience. Republicans are typically a pretty unattractive group. All apologies to our friends along the Brazos River Valley.

Agree with all of this, but add that she passed the bar exam in NY, which I understand to be one of the toughest in the country.  

So she's either lacking a moral compass or figures "fuck it, without Trump's money I'm just another low dollar transaction lawyer who will replaced by AI and online law advice."

Bit of a sidenote here, but I was looking at Texas' supersedeas bond requirements, which I haven't looked at in years, but Texas does limit the bond amount to half of the defendant's net worth.  So, at least some places, "ability to pay" does come into it at this stage of proceedings.

Proving one's net worth would be a bitch, though, and highly embarrassing most likely.

Also, I listened to the oral argument in the Sidney Powell appeal.  The bar did not seem particularly convincing on the issue of a trial court having to dig around the record to find the evidence, meaning all the evidence the bar mislabeled and bungled, so that's bad.

On the other hand, on the Georgia federal complaint and its attachments, which I believe were clearly of record, the bar had the upper hand on that providing sufficient evidence of lack of candor with the Georgia court that I think they may have won the day.

Highly speculative on my part.  Decision should be imminent.

For him that'd be like dividing by zero and showing your work on paper.

... After very careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that the current US judicial system sucks.

The fatal flaw is that the US judicial branch, like the Executive and Legislative, assumes good faith and general competency.  Whoops.

Uhhhhhhhh... no, I don't think that's true for any of those three.

The reason I think Cannon is galactically stupid is not limited to the fact that she is bungling the law so badly.

If she wants to throw the case for Trump, this is among the most unwieldy, obvious, and obviously appealable and reversible ways to do it.  And if that is her plan, she apparently is too stupid to realize it.  

All this will do is delay the case.  There are subtler, more discretionary, and unappealable ways to do that.

She hasn't fucked this thing up yet, but if she persists on her current course, she's going to get another public spanking from the 11th Circuit.

Seems a little obvious . . . delay the case, and if Trump wins the Oval Office he has the DOJ throw it out.

Less spanking, more taking away her toy and giving it to someone with a brain.

That's a really, REALLY big "if" there.

If he doesn't win the presidency, guess what the outcome of all these delays is?

And by delaying these, he's ensuring that the bad news stays in the news up through November.

I'm actually rooting for the delays, here. You have to think about the long game, here, folks.

That all also means that he can’t not win this time even more urgently than last time.  The rhetoric and calls to violence will be even more forceful when he loses the vote. 

And he won't be in charge of shit to do shit about it.

Sounds like these two clerks might get new clerkships elsewhere rather handily, for helping to slow things down and create a backlog.

I don't think she'd want to hire any replacements.

I just read the update on that clerk stuff and apparently it's a big nothingburger. The clerks quit last summer (one due to pregnancy; the other for unknown reasons) and she now has a full staff of clerks.

So no conspiracy on her part to delay due to lack of staff.

Judges screw stuff up all the time. Which is why trial courts get reviewed and overturned by appellate courts. Which is why appellate courts are reviewed and get overturned by supreme courts.  Some judges are just bad judges, and get overturned a lot. There is practically nothing you can do if they are elected, except point out the stupidity at the end of their term and hope they don’t get reelected. Judge Cannon, on the other hand, was appointed for life - and it takes conviction by the senate after a house impeachment to get her off the bench.

So while I share your frustration, I will await your solution to the problem.  Texas has more than your fair share of idiots, clowns, dishonest grifters and incompetent ideologues  as any state in America, yet you do nothing about it.   Or maybe you can’t do anything about it.   But going off on the legal community for not solving the problem of Judge Cannon is like going off on Texas for not solving your fill-in-the-blank politician problem.

Sometimes things are just hard and unpleasant and depressing and the problem can’t be pegged on a small subset of folks. 

There are ways to get shitty judges removed from cases when they constantly fuck up.  Use those.

Quote

Pro-Trump lawyer Stefanie Lambert surrendered Thursday to Michigan authorities in connection with her 2020 election tampering indictment, after a wild week where she was labeled a fugitive and spent a night in jail after being arrested in Washington, DC.

The special prosecutor who charged Lambert in Michigan, DJ Hilson, confirmed that she turned herself in Thursday morning and appeared in Oakland County Circuit Court. “The judge ruled that the Michigan bench warrant is now set aside, and she was taken into custody for the sole purpose of collecting her DNA and fingerprints,” Hilson said.

Quote

Lambert’s attorney, Daniel Hartman, also confirmed that she surrendered, as she pledged to do after being released by a local DC judge earlier this week. Hartman said Lambert’s fingerprints will not be entered into the system “until further order of the court.” Lambert has been fighting an effort by prosecutors to take her fingerprints.

The surrender came days after Lambert’s arrest at the federal courthouse in DC. She was taken into custody Monday by US marshals immediately after she participated in a two-hour hearing in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation case against her client, ex-Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, regarding his false claims about the 2020 election.

Quote

That hearing in the DC-based defamation case was about Lambert’s recent leak of internal Dominion emails, which she obtained through her representation of Byrne. But Lambert’s DC arrest, and her surrender in Michigan on Thursday, were due to a warrant that was issued after she failed to appear at recent hearings in her criminal case.

She was indicted last year in connection with an attempted election system breach in Michigan, which was one of several incidents in battleground states where Donald Trump supporters tried to prove their voter-fraud theories after he lost the 2020 election.

Oh well, this should go well.  Just a few murdered U.S. citizens trying to do the right thing.  Yeah, this won't erupt into some unintended consequences.  I wonder if Eric Trump will be listed?

And maybe the surly law dogs can explain to me, but how would a judge even have the ability to “allow” this?  Unless it were his own witnesses for the defense?

She looks like what appears when you shove your thumb into a box of wine and chant "Donald Trump" three times into a mirror in the employee bathroom at Cracker Barrel.
