Wood, a GA Elector, is asking Judge Grimberg, a Trump appointee, for a temporary restraining order to block certification of GA's final count as well as closer count observers for the GASEN runoff

Hearing's underway now and Judge Grimberg doesn't seem all that keen on the plaintiff's argument for standing
"I understand that is your argument, sir. What is your evidence?"
This is painful
Judge asking a whole table of lawyers simple questions about their client's constitutional claims and just...crickets before they come up with their halting answers.

Hearing is still going on, but I have to go on air now. So go to @KlasfeldReports for more updates
Just deleted a tweet saying Judge Grimberg said the case was a closer call than the Dem Party argued and wanted to decide on the briefs. Judge was talking about Dems’ motion to intervene, not about merits of case or plaintiffs’ standing.

SORRY FOR THE HEART ATTACKS.
NOTE TO SELF: Don't livetweet reports from high-profile hearings I'm half-listening to while writing my on-air intro.

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…
I’m generally of the mind that should any of this get to SCOTUS, it’s gonna be ACB and Kav who stick the final dagger into the Trump Presidency

We'll see how this prediction holds up with the signals the justices are set to send in just a few minutes
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?"
