Just in: Trump is petitioning the Michigan Supreme Court to take up his election challenge (re: observer access to ballot processing) following back-to-back losses in the lower courts — the MI Court of Appeals found it was moot https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7335020/12-7-20-Trump-v-Benson-Motion-for-Immediate.pdf

The Trump campaign's filings are vague on what exactly they want a judge to order at this point that could affect Biden's win in MI — they ask for an order that the MI SoS violated the law, but there's no specific ask to nullify the results/invalidate ballots

the lady who was doing it before, so who's doing it now? I HOPE most Pugs are getting as disgsted with his crap as am. I know there will always be some diehards, but they're becoming fewer & fewer every day.

4. More anti-American foolishness. I don't think even the current GOP-controlled court will bite.

I can't wait until January 1. That's when the new Democratic-controlled MI Supreme Court will be sworn in. Michigan will have a Democratic Governor & Lt. Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Supreme Court. Now all we have to do is un-gerrymander the legislative districts and hopefully end the gerrymandered stranglehold the MIGOP has had on Michigan since 2011.

After all, he has his fav justice in place and has to put her to the test of loyalty.

IMHO, some court needs to have him committed. The people have stroked his ego long enough and it's past time to get him on meds.
