3. Oh my gosh, catbyte!!!! Make this an OP

I loved it! Hysterical!!!

Side note: I was talking about "life" (or maybe "death&quot with one of my grandsons, and told him that when my time comes I don't want heroic measures taken. And I want him to sing at my bedside, "Let her go, let her go....."

He got a funny look on his face, but he knows I'm serious. He said, "I'm not going to do that." I told him he just had to. Everyone would burst out laughing, and they all know that's what I'd want. My poor grandson has a very quirky grandmother.

2. The game in all these failed lawsuits is to get to the Supreme Court

It's both to compile a hail Mary toss to the Supremes and their delay bullshit in recounts, etc. are the hail Mary attempt to get state legislatures to certify Trump instead of Biden and throw it into the House. It ain't rocket science......

14. It's a game played by those with no case ambulance chasers.

The best lawyers who have a solid case win in the lower courts and force the other team to appeal all the way to SCOTUS.

And SCOTUS is no sure thing as Roberts and Kavanaugh are Bush people. Bush selected Roberts for the Supreme Court and heavily endorsed Kavanaugh. My guess, and it's just a guess, is that the best Trump can expect from SCOTUS is a 5-4 loss.

"One of Brett Kavanaugh's staunchest supporters in his nomination for the Supreme Court has been former President George W. Bush, who, according to reports reached out to undecided senators to persuade them to confirm the judge.

According to the Washington Post, Bush has lobbied senators Susan Collins, Jeff Flake and Lisa Murkowski, as well as Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, because they are unlikely to be persuaded by President Trump."

4. Of course they are. But their typing speed must be about three words an hour

for it to take that long to prepare the one paragraph appeal . . . (using the canned template I'm sure any competent attorney set up the minute they filed the first case . . . well . . . maybe they are starting from scratch each time, on a manual typewriter.)

5. Lawyers had to wait for the new check to clear

[bluestarone]

6. IDIOTS

ALL of them

[SheltieLover]

7. Of course they are

Still judge shopping with their sophists.

8. No court is going to rule in favor of trump,

[skip fox]

9. Was thesame lawsuit dismissed with prejudice?

[helpisontheway]

10. Yes. Nt

[Alhena]

12. That doesn't mean you can't appeal it, it just means you can't refile it in the same court barring

a reversal from the appellate court. Dismissals with prejudice are standard whenever the reason for the dismissal relates to the substantive merits of the lawsuit, as with a summary judgment dismissal, or, in this case, a Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

This appeal is totally expected - Rudy said it was coming. The suspense will be whether the Supreme Court will decide to hear an appeal from the 3rd circuit, which is expected to rule against Trump.

[triron]

11. This is extremely ridiculous. This is an affront to their (judges) time.

[skip fox]

13. Since this is the suit "dismissed with prejudice," Trump's "Hail Mary" pass (to SCOTUS)

looks more like betting on a broken down nag with a drunken jockey at a horse race.

[skip fox]

15. Will we know tomorrow if the 3rd circuit agrees to hear the appeal?

[PuppyBismark]

16. Don't they have to specify a reason for the appeal?

[treestar]

22. They have to be able to write a brief in support of it

And cite something like a case or statute rather than My Cousin Vinny

[Yonnie3]

17. Giuliani is not admitted at 3rd circuit

according to Josh Gerstein

@joshgerstein
They may need another lawyer to file papers at 3rd circuit as Giuliani is not admitted there and the only attorney currently on the case who is is designated as inactive

19. Of course he isn't admitted.....lol

[Volaris]

18. I thought 'dismissed with prejudice' meant '...and quit wasting the courts fucking time with this...

...or there will be consequences.'?
