New: Republicans in Wisconsin (the Trump campaign is not a party) filed an emergency petition in the state Supreme Court to stop the final certification of election results (HT @DemocracyDocket for the filing, screenshot of docket below) https://democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/45/2020/11/Trump-v-WEC-Petition-1.pdf…

1. Just fucking stop it.

[Nevilledog]

3. It's such an abuse of the courts.

Maybe it cuts so deeply because I was a fucking officer of the court for so long, and I took that shit seriously.

4. I'm a retired lawyer and this shit is driving me nuts.

I never saw such shitty litigation when I was active, and I saw some stupid stuff.

[Nevilledog]

6. Ditto.

9. I'm curious why no judge has sanctioned any of the attorneys bringing suit.

There comes a point when it's obvious a suit isn't entered in good faith; it's just there to gum up the works and make headlines. Would it really be that unusual or unreasonable in these circumstances for a judge to say, "Enough. Go away now." with a sanction or two?

10. At least they got a (checking notes) real estate specialist to represent them.

2. Enough!

5. So...

Now it's Zuckerberg?

How long before they claim it's Tom Hanks trying to overturn the election?

7. How does Zuckerberg fit into this? I must have missed something.

13. Read the filing...

"millions of dollars...sourced to Mark Zuckerberg..."

14. Thank you hurple.

I've been working online all day and the out of date software in my brain's processing system is hiccuping.

8. Frivolous and capricious

A good judge would not tolerate any more of their bullshit.

11. Knowing the WI SC, they might get away with it.

12. Not likely

15. Fact free BS

I laugh at the claim that the cities of Green Bay, Kenosha, and Racine are “Democratic Party strongholds...”

County by county election results show Trump had more votes each of the counties of those “strongholds”.

16. Look at them! I bet it feels like home. They're the opposition again.

If not any thing else, they are great at opposing shit. Terrible at standing for something.
