Update on Gohmert’s appeal to the 5th Circuit asking for emergency relief (about Pence’s role in accepting the Electoral College vote). Within the last hour, a three-judge panel (two judges appointed by Reagan, one by Trump), meeting on Saturday, slapped away the appeal without even waiting for full briefing. They further issued a mandate immediately (which typically takes a couple of weeks). This is their way of saying “go away and don’t come back” or, to put it in the vernacular, AYFKM?
Sure, Gohmert can file a petition with SCOTUS, but if he does, the Court’s only question before flushing it is whether it is septic safe. [Written January 2, 2021]
