When Lawsuits Don't Change Anything

 I am still asked if the election lawsuits might still change the result of the election or if the US Supreme Court will get involved. The answer is no, especially after two election cases got resolved in Pennsylvania within the last two days.

Judge Patricia McCullough ordered Wednesday that the state must halt certification "to the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification." That order lasted exactly four days. The seven-member Pennsylvania Supreme court unanimously removed the injunction. But they went a step further and dismissed the entire complaint with prejudice. This slap down was the equivalent of saying GTFO and don’t come back. That was the state court.
In the Federal Court, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals eviscerated the Trump campaign appeal. They also went beyond the only question raised on appeal by restructuring some truly incoherent arguments and dismantling them as well.
One also shouldn’t be concerned about Sidney Powell’s new cases filed in Michigan and Georgia. Not only are they incoherent and riddled with typographical errors (which courts despise), they were filed way, way too late to be given serious consideration. It’s really hard to explain just how bad these lawsuits are. [Written November 29, 2020]
