Please oh please let Rudy strip naked during the proceedings today and run out into the parking lot in nothing but his socks.

Hey, has @Bozo_Casanova told you about the delicious deconstructed nothingburger at the Trump Doral?

i could see it coming, and there was nothing i could do to stop it.

I'm not the guy who kills,* I'm the guy that buys off.  Are you so blind you can't see that?  I bought off Stormy for $130k  . . . .

*although I could be, yknow.  I could shoot a man in the middle of 5th Avenue  . . .  but he doesn't have to die.

Well, except for the fact that twice in that pro hac motion, he averred that he was in good standing in all places in which he was admitted.

Yup, as I'm sure others here also know, some courts' pro hac vice rules require you to list and perhaps explain where you have been admitted and if you are no longer in good standing in any of them.

I would not be surprised if Rudy is required to correct the record at the start of the hearing. Whether he will is a different matter, of course.

Well that was always just bullshit too. Look at citizens united for proof. Most activist decision since the Dred Scott decision that led to civil war.

Small being the operative word. It’s the kind of thing no judge is gonna get in a twist about. 
 

Rudy has bigger problems than that. Like no evidence to back up his bullshit claims. I’m fascinated to see what he actually says in court. 

[Pig Bellmont 8,718]

Not 592 ballots! Ugh, it’s not just that these cases and appeals won’t succeed, it’s that *even if they did* it just wouldn’t matter at all. What the hell is going on here?

Yeah, I didn't read the motion for pro hac, mea culpa.  

Hey, has @Bozo_Casanova told you about the delicious deconstructed nothingburger at the Trump Doral?

It's a suspended bar card, topped with pesto, served with a medium burrata, with heirloom tomato slices and arugula drizzled with olive oil and balsamic.

They aren't trying to win in court, they are trying to convince Trumpists that the court system is corrupt.

I'm guessing that the thought is that if they get enough (any) judicial rulings that little niggling problems like this happened and result in invalid votes, they can get some court (SCOTUS?) to buy off on an "in the aggregate, the election was FUBAR and the vote cannot be certified."

There is a little league lawyer joke to be made about Rudy showing up to Williamsport, PA for this hearing.

It just blows my mind that someone who is - or at least once was - highly intelligent like Sidney Powell can get so warped by politics. I have fallen into the habit of blaming stupid and ignorant people for Trumpism, but this is a reminder that that is a fallacy.

Ask those Arizona attorneys how useful those affidavits were in an evidentiary hearing... This isn’t Judge Jeannie, it’s a federal court

Weird. Legal arguments and not unsupported statements about fraud that don’t exist even in their own Complaint

One doesn't "claim" to have 300 affidavits.  One actual files/produces them.  Otherwise....they aren't a thing.

[Pig Bellmont 8,718]

Here’s the thing - it’s a motion to dismiss hearing. It’s not an evidentiary proceeding. Even if it were, documents without witnesses to attest to them...? Rudy’s a joke

Brisket would never do a contingency on that shit. Unless for the giggles.

What is the motion?  Rule 12 what?  Haven't followed that closely.  Seems like a 12(b)(b) on the failure to state a claim , maybe a (b)(1) as well?

Haha is it?  I hadn't paid attention to exactly what it was.

So nothing's really on the table except standing and abstention.

I looked.  According to the order denying continuance, it is both a MTD and TRO hearing.

Yes it’s both. Lack of standing argument first re: no concrete injury, and also failure to state a claim

[FondrenRoad 4,378]

I hope one of these courts has the balls to sanction Rudy.

We will probably be able to hear it from here.  I'd expect you to be able to hear it up there in Virginny or thereabouts easily.

After all these lawsuits fail the next funniest wave of lawsuits will be these lawyers suing Trump for not paying them.
