A Trump appointed judge. Oh the humanity!

[Cha]

6. No kidding.. a t**** appointee!

Too rich!

8. Ha, this is the 2nd Pissolini appointed judge to rule against him.

Seems Pissolini's appointees aren't going with the program.

9. I do remember reading

about another one.. don't know what for.. there have been so Many Rulings.. Against shoe dye rudy & the gang of bad faith lawyers.

Main thing we know the Orange Swamp Blob is Extra Darkly Pissed

14. The good and bad news is they are Federalist Society judges

means they are conservative true believers rather than Trump loyalists.

So they're less likely to go along with this type of random bullshit with no support behind it, but it also means they'll still be staunchly conservative long after Trump is off the politicals scene.

Not sure if they paywall those or what.

As a note - the other 2 Justices on that panel were appointed by Shrub!

11. The three judges on the panel were all appointed by Republican presidents

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals echoed a string of other courts in finding the Trump campaign offered no evidence of any election fraud. Instead, the court said “the campaign’s claims have no merit.”

“Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here,” Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee and former law school professor, wrote for the three-judge panel.

The case had been argued last week in a lower court by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who insisted during five hours of oral arguments that the 2020 presidential election had been marred by widespread fraud in Pennsylvania. However, Giuliani failed to offer any tangible proof of that in court.

U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann had said the campaign's error-filled complaint, “like Frankenstein’s Monster, has been haphazardly stitched together” and denied Giuliani the right to amend it for a second time.

The 3rd Circuit called that decision justified. The three judges on the panel were all appointed by Republican presidents. The ruling comes four days after Pennsylvania officials certified their vote count for President-elect Joe Biden, who defeated Trump by more than 80,000 votes in the state.

15. So, does this have to be appealed en banc to the Appeals Court now...

...or does Trump get to appeal it directly to his pals on SCOTUS?

[dware]

16. Highly doubtful the SC would even take this up, there are no Constitutional issues

here.

[Locutusofborg]

17. Plaintiffs' choice

The plaintiffs say they're going to SCOTUS.

19. I wish SCOTUS would take it up and give him a 9-0 shellacking.

That would shut Giuliani up at least for a while.
