The Trump Campaign is going to move the Third Circuit—an appellate court—for a TRO. That’s not a thing.
Five minutes after the deadline, no sign of the opening brief. (tbf it may have been lodged but not put on the docket yet.)
17m after the deadline now... still nothing.
Just came in -- 4:19 p.m. ET

Republican lawyers challenging this election are extremely committed to not knowing what a declaratory judgment is.

(In this case they’re seeking to avert Minnesota’s certification, which is scheduled to happen today.) democracydocket.com/wp-content/upl… Image
If, say, you and I have a contract and we have come to disagree about the meaning of a provision in it, either of us can go to court and ask a judge to decide upfront what it means (w/o waiting for an alleged breach and damages to accrue). That’s what a declaratory judgment is.
Correx: It’s Wisconsin’s certification they’re challenging and that’s expected today, not Minnesota’s. I got flummoxed. My apologies.

This is retconned BS.
As a for instance, before the election, Trump denigrated mail voting to his supporters, a Trump goon sabotaged the postal service, the PA legislature forbid precanvassing mail ballots (so they wouldn’t appear in election night tabulations of the vote), ...
the PA GOP sued to throw out late-arriving mail ballots, and Trump was reported to be planning to declare victory based on the strength of the same-day vote and then to sue to stop Biden from overtaking him in mail ballots. axios.com/trump-claim-el…

Powell appears to have crossed the line. The Elite Strike Force is minus one.
Just for a sort of reality check, here is how Rudy kicked off the press conference on Thursday.

It very much included Sidney Powell as a “senior lawyer” “representing President Trump” and the campaign.

Judge Brann: IT MEANS YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR. pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/147/127057/155…
To translate from Willy Wonka, the federal judge in the PA case dismissed the pending complaint with prejudice and denied Giuliani’s attempt to amend it. The case is over (pending appeal).

I’d underline this about the radicalism of this 11th Cir conversion therapy decision: it’s only about *licensure* of therapists. The panel majority is saying the 1A forbids authorities regulating this harmful practice among people it grants licenses to.

So it’s not about clergy or political groups or all the other crazy that’s out there. It’s about a licensed therapist in Boca Raton attempting to change their minor patients’ sexual orientations. That’s the speech interest at stake.
It’d be like if a licensed driving instructor was teaching 15 year olds to drive into walls at 40mph and then claiming any effort by the state to curtail this dangerous instruction was illegal bc his right to give it and retain his license was protected by the First Amendment.

Giuliani’s son — a public employee — endorses the effort to steal the election and destroy American democracy in his bio. via @laraseligman
The younger Giuliani attended his father’s madcap press conference in a small densely paced room at the RNC yesterday afternoon. This morning, he announced he has Covid.
