    It's her job to make sure Trump doesn't trip while walking down the ramp at the United States Air Force Academy,
    like he did at the West Point Commencement

    Republicans' devotion to Trump pits them against democracy, history – and reality

    excerpt:

    "“This is madness,” in the words of Senator Mitt Romney. As framed by the 2012 Republican nominee, “We have a process, recounts are appropriate, going to the court is appropriate and pursuing every legal avenue is appropriate, but trying to get electors not to do what the people voted to do is madness.”

    Said differently, “this is how civil societies unwind”, according to Stuart Stevens of the Lincoln Project and a former Romney strategist. He added, “The reasonable go along with the unreasonable thinking it benefits them & they can control the unreasonable. They can’t and soon the unreasonable are destroying what it took generations to build.”

    In that vein, we are witnessing a GOP that has difficulty coming to terms with modernity, the country’s changing demographics, and its own failure to win the popular vote in seven of the last eight elections. Even before Monica Lewinsky, the party faithful questioned Bill Clinton’s legitimacy because he was a child of the 60s."

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Well it looks like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton got the attention he was looking for from the white house.

    The lawsuit has no chance of succeeding, but it just may get him the pardon he was looking for from Trump

    Trump says he will join Texas in long-shot Supreme Court bid to undo Biden White House win

    excerpt:

    "In the call Wednesday, Giuliani implied that the Trump campaign and its surrogates have repeatedly lost legal challenges that would undercut Biden’s win as a result of media “spin” that has affected judges who heard the cases.

    “Judges are just human beings, they read — they probably read more of those newspapers than most people do, so they’re very affected by the spin that’s put on things,” Giuliani said."

    Florida investigation into COVID-19 whistleblower draws rebuke from Crist, others

    excerpt:

    "Robert Drago, a retired lieutenant colonel at the Broward Sheriff’s Office, described the affidavit as a “little weak,” saying he was surprised the document did not contain evidence of Department of Health formally telling Jones that she was not allowed to access the system after her termination.

    “I think they might have a tough case here,” he said.

    Prosecutors would also have to overcome a defense about the system itself, which was easily accessible by many employees who all use the same credentials.

    “If you really want a secure forum. That is insane,” Baker said. “They had designed this system that made this kind of abuse extraordinarily likely.”

    Rasch described the possible defense as equivalent to using a restaurant’s unsecured WiFi network without buying any food, in violation of the use agreement. It’s technically against the use agreement, but access is so easy, who would challenge the use?

    “Even if she did all of this, what did she actually do? She sent a warning message to state employees. She didn’t break anything. She didn’t hack anything. She sent a message,” Rasch said."

    ‘Constitutional Law Attorney’ Either Doesn’t Understand There Isn’t a Rep. Kelly Petition Pending or She’s Lying

    excerpt:

    "University of Texas law professor Steve Vladeck explained why Ellis was wrong by mimicking the formula of her media criticism tweet.

    “Important point [Jenna Ellis] is missing in PA suit: [Mike Kelly] hasn’t even *filed* a petition for certiorari in his case; he had sought an injunction pending a *future* appeal. So there was nothing else for SCOTUS to deny,” Vladeck noted. “Kelly asked the Court to treat his application for an injunction as a petition for certiorari *in the alternative,* and that’s what was denied. There’s no separate filing, and so #SCOTUS’s denial of the application means that there is nothing else pending from Kelly at the Court.”"

    ‘Constitutional Law Attorney’ Either Doesn’t Understand There Isn’t a Rep. Kelly Petition Pending or She’s Lying

    excerpt:

    "But SCOTUS denied the application and did not treat it as a petition for certiorari. Ellis nonetheless said the case was “still pending” before the court. In other words, Ellis gave the Twittersphere and the president’s supporters the impression that a petition for a writ of certiorari had been filed and was still before the Court. But that was not so.

    SCOTUS did not deny a petition for certiorari because Rep. Kelly did not file a petition for certiorari. Kelly did ask the court in its discretion to treat the application as such, but the court did not do so."

    Giulani is making misleading statements that give the impression that an analysis of voting machines in a MI county was initiated by and revolves around the presidential election. It doesn't.

    Giuliani is trying to ride the coattails of a vote counting issue related to a marijuana proposal.



    Giuliani claims 'big win' on Michigan judge's order to examine election equipment related to marijuana proposal

    excerpts:

    ""BIG WIN FOR HONEST ELECTIONS. Antrim County Judge in Michigan orders forensic examination of 22 Dominion voting machines. This is where the untrustworthy Dominion machine flipped 6000 votes from Trump to Biden. Spiking of votes by Dominion happened all over the state," Giuliani tweeted on Friday."


    "The latest order does not revolve around the results of the presidential election but rather a village marijuana proposal.

    A challenge on the matter was brought forward by voter William Bailey, who raised the issue with the close concerns of the proposal, which allowed a marijuana retailer in the village of Central Lake. The ordinance was tied 262-262 in votes, which would mean a loss for the proposal. Bailey sued the county on Nov. 23, seeking a restraining order and preliminary injunction against the county."

    Maybe it’s me, but if I were lawyer presenting a case before the SCOTUS, I would not say anything negative about judges.

    He will accuse them of being "left wing" and hating America because you automatically hate the country if you don't love him.

    The first 30 minutes is all you will need to understand, seeing how MSM is not reporting it...
