BREAKING: Trump campaign files 3rd Circuit brief.

They argue: "The Campaign is not seeking to disenfranchise 6.8 million Pennsylvanians. Rather, the Campaign only seeks to aside the defective mail ballots among 1.5 million cast" in Democratic counties.

10. Bad lawyering and absurd remedy.

Third, the Court also misconstrued the remedy sought. The Campaign is not seeking to disenfranchise 6.8 million Pennsylvanians. . . .

The Campaign’s sought remedy is to examine a sample of the mail ballots to determine the defective percentage and engage an expert to calculate the overall defective number among the 1.5 million. The defective ballots should be deducted from Biden’s votes, which may change the result of the election.

First - you don't blame the lower court for your mistake. (You also don't tell them you are going to amend - you ask for permission if you've already amended once.)
Second - Really? You want to allocate ALL defective ballots to Biden? I guess you think republicans are perfect??

15. They have been revising and revising and revising for a week now!

The spinning is dizzying and they have literally tied themselves up in knots.

4. Probably hoping the court throws it out so they can cry foul.

I don't put anything past these shitheads.

19. +1

5. Do What I Do-Blame it on my Legal Assistant

JUST KIDDING-I SWEAR

[Nevilledog]

7. Never filed something late in 27 years.

[Stallion]

8. Either Have I and We Used to Have to Race Downtown Before Clerk's Office Closed

these kids today just need to download and click on the PACER system

Some good stories trying to get downtown in Dallas traffic before 4:30 closing time though

17. Really no excuse when it's electronic filing.

Our courts were just moving to that in 2017, right when I retired.

6. If a student reading one of my courses submitted an assignment

after the deadline it was not accepted.
Fuck this shit

[obamanut2012]

9. Same, I don't accept assignmnet after deadline

Unless you were literally hospitalized, or had a close family member literally die.

11. One of my dental profs once asked me for my excuse

for not completing a project on time. I replied without hesitation: “my girlfriend wouldn’t let me out of bed.” He was laughing so hard he gave me my C instead of an F and let me go upon my way. FYI in those days every grade was a C. “A is for God, B is for me, C is for you”

20. hahahhaha that is so funny!

I had a professor like that in a grad-level class. No one ever got an A, because that was reserved for God.

[malaise]

22. There are always extenuating circumstances

Everything linked to Killa Con is late bullshit

[Doodley]

12. It always takes at least an extra 19 minutes to come up with the correct TBS.

TBS is the technical name for Trump Bullshit.

[StarfishSaver]

13. The brief filed nearly 20 minutes late needs to be thrown out with the ballots they insist should

be thrown out if they arrived a minute after the deadline.

[onenote]

14. A law professor I know would lock the door precisely at the time the class was due to start.

He explained that his students were being trained to be lawyers and that they would have to be on time in meetings with clients and more importantly would have to comply with court or agency deadlines. So they needed to start learning to be on time even while in school. His students hated it, but it was a good reminder.

[Ms. Toad]

16. We used to have one like that.

His goal (sometimes asserted bluntly) was to make his students cry.

[onethatcares]

21. being late only

shows disrespect for the person or organization you should have been on time for.

that's easy.
