This nut case is upset that the judge called her and the other idiots by the proper designation. One does not file lawsuits based on conspiracy theories and then hope that the facts back up such conspiracy theories

In her order, Linda V. Parker, a federal judge in Michigan, said Powell failed in her due diligence, used "speculation, conjecture, and unwarranted suspicion" in place of evidence-backed claims, and continued pursuing the cases long after they failed.
Parker said the case wasn't about election integrity it was "about undermining the People's faith in our democracy and debasing the judicial process to do so."
I love this attack by Powell where she objected to having facts used against her to show that she is a nut case
A nut case complaining that it is unfair to show that she is a nut case amuses me
This lady needs to be disbarred

(39,591 posts)The statements from "witnesses" were incredulous, and Powell and her team did no due diligence on any of them.
One of them went something like this:
"I was out walking my dog by the post office, and I saw some people putting some bags into a truck. They were joking and laughing. The next day I heard a bunch of suspicious votes were delivered to the place where they were counting votes. That must have been where those votes came from.

Powell and other lawyers filed a complaint appealing financial penalties ordering them to pay $21,964.75 for attorneys' fees for defendants Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. Judge Linda Parker also said that Powell and other lawyers had to pay $153,285.62 for legal fees to the city of Detroit.
"But prior and subsequent lawsuits have pointed to very similar problems. And dozens of laws have been enacted by state legislatures in response to concerns similar to those raised in the complaint. Millions of Americans believe the central contentions of the complaint to be true, and perhaps they are," the filing says.
Reuters justice reporter Brad Heath tweeted that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the brief, saying it didn't comply with a variety of the rules of Appellate Procedure.
