“The best description of what we’re alleging...is widespread nationwide voter fraud of which this is a part” - Giuliani, noting in those ellipses that his claims, all based on conspiracy theories, have to be treated as true at this motion to dismiss phase

Is the idea to keep contesting the battleground results in court with the hope that judges won’t be able to whack all the moles before December 14th, thereby forcing states to either blow the deadline or risk further calamity by pushing forward despite “unresolved” disputes?
It’s clear that’s what relief they want from courts, but it also seems that they’re hoping that flooding the zone with a constant flow of lawsuits could just block certification by 12/8 safe harbor by default cdn.donaldjtrump.com/public-files/p…

Roberts probing whether individual plaintiffs have standing because even though they don't have to pay anything, they're still breaking the law
Thomas hypos a mask mandate: "There is some degree of opprobrium of one doesn't wear one in some settings. What if someone violates that command, let's say it's in similar terms to the mandate here but no penalty, would they have standing to challenge the mandate to wear a mask?"
Great poem. Also: 1) I live in Croton. I hope 55 years ago someone helped her out here! 2) She recited her poetry to my high school some 20 years ago. A couple jerks started fake coughing, then a lot more. She cut her reading short, saying “I feel as though I’ve been in a ward.”
The awful fake cough epidemic began because she was reading so softly into the mic no one could hear her in the auditorium, which had invited otherwise engaged high schoolers to express their dissatisfaction in a most insolent way.
And she was so soft spoken that even her somewhat louder final words to us, just barely cutting through the fake coughing fits, sounded to all of us like “I feel as though I’ve won an award.” Which, of course, made no sense.
