Guys, I don’t think Thomas More said he’d burn down a wall of laws to keep the Devil on his throne.

1. Perhaps the CEO of ANTIFA can be reached for comment? nt

[Hugin]

6. She posted a message that she was not to be disturbed on the side of the Goodyear blimp.

Something about being busy with the war on Christmas.

[rickford66]

11. Wasn't it the Goodrich Blimp ?

[Hugin]

12. It could have been the Met Life Blimp.

With the sky crowded with all of those blimps spreading chemtrails these days, it can be confusing.

2. Worst College? Electoral College or Trump University?

[LuvNewcastle]

3. Who is paying for this asinine waste of money?

Is the Trump campaign paying for all of these cases they've been losing in court? They fucking should be. I'm sick of hearing about these damned lawsuits, and I sure hope the state and federal governments are being compensated for their legal expenses in these cases. The plaintiffs should get jail time for wasting the court's time over and over like this.

4. Bankruptcy Court?

[bottomofthehill]

5. Don't know why the House accepted service

The Electoral College does not live there any more. They should return to sender.

[Nexus2]

7. Wait, Is this about suing the ELECOTORAL COLLEGE? Seriously?

I couldn't make out much of the document.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Sure Looks That Way

Suing a governmental agency that doesn't actually exist. Or at least, has no assets because it's an ephemeral body.
Really foolish

9. Another one of tRump's lawyer ploys going to go down in flames.......... nt

[Retrograde]

16. It's not even a federal entity

(at least not if I read the Constitution correctly) Every individual state and DC gets to select its own members, with the only stipulation being "no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector". So - and IANAL - wouldn't each state have to be served individually?

[ProfessorGAC]

17. That Makes Sense!

So, they are in fact suing an entity that doesn't actually exist!
Unbrilliant!

[NYC Liberal]

23. It's not even an "entity" at all.

The term “Electoral College” doesn’t appear in the constitution. It’s just a fancy collective term for the group of electors chosen by each state to vote for president and Vice President.

[Volaris]

28. Well the dope lawyers at Thomas Moore are the same ones who lost the Dover ID case,

So it's no real surprise they think the Electoral College and a saddled tyrannosaur can both serve as the real basis for a lawsuit.

[bottomofthehill]

10. Also, wrong address and wrong zip code

The US Capitol Does not have a street address and the zip is 20515 on the House side and 20510 for the Senate, I think.

This should have been addressed to:
Vice President Michael Pence
C/O Mother Pence
S-219
United States Capitol
Washington DC 20510

[Volaris]

29. Oh, they're suing him, too...no worries lol.

[AmericanCanuck]

13. This will be quashed in nanoseconds.

[Stallion]

14. Yeah But Since It Can't Be Properly Served--on Any Person--Nobody Will Move to Quash

without personal jurisdiction no relief can be granted

[AmericanCanuck]

15. I think the lead defendant is Michael Pence

The justice department will have to move to quash

[marie999]

20. A defendant to what? He doesn't do anything but open envelopes and reads what is inside.

[AmericanCanuck]

24. Look at the summons please

[marie999]

25. I can only see page 7 in the tweet. How do I see the whole thing?

[marie999]

26. Okay I understand that they are suing him because they say the electoral votes were never certified.

[TheBlackAdder]

18. If this attorney retains his law license, the U.S. legal system entered The Theater of the Absurd.

[Gothmog]

19. These attorneys are idiots

[SeattleVet]

21. Last week the judge said he'd let the case proceed once all parties had been served.

I don't know how they'll come up with 'proof of service' to the 'Electoral College', which only amorphously exists for a short time every 4 years. (Hint - it's not a physical thing - it's a process.)

Are they planning on serving all 538 electors?

Maybe someone can tell them that the Electoral College is all in Florida now for Winter Break!

22. Paging Judge Wapner ....

27. Yeah, the dorm rooms aren't the best....
