🚨🚨🚨Trump 3rd Circuit appointee: "Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here." justsecurity.org/wp-content/upl…
"The campaign's claims have no merit."
"Though it alleges many conclusions, the Second Amended Complaint is light on facts."
This is judge-speak for "you receive no points and may God have mercy on your soul."
"You keep citing that case [Bush v. Gore]. We do not think it means what you think it means."
Ouch
Double Ouch
"Voters, not lawyers, choose the President. Ballots, not briefs, decide elections."
These last two pages are a judicial smackdown of epic proportions.

NOW: @realDonaldTrump is on @FoxNews talking to @MariaBartiromo, claiming without evidence that leaders of other countries are calling him about the (not) "rigged" 2020 election.
.@realDonaldTrump is now repeating false claims about voting machines switching votes from him to @JoeBiden and claiming that there was "absolute fraud"
Trump now telling a "sir" story (meaning made-up) about how he received congratulatory calls from "big political people" before all the votes were counted (at 10pm on Election Day).
NEW: A kraken has been released, but not Sidney Powell's.
Veterans of conservative politics & media say Republican reluctance to admit @JoeBiden won & the new anti-@FoxNews backlash show how rabid, uncontrollable, & dangerous the @GOP base has become. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-f…
Ex-Rep/radio host @WalshFreedom says @GOP pols have long feared their own base more than @realDonaldTrump's wrath: "I had Republican House members tell me three years ago: ‘I don't give a flying f**k about Trump, I just don't want to cross his voters." independent.co.uk/voices/trump-f…
But Newsbusters founder @mattsheffield says Trump boosted fringe players that radicalized Republican officeholders' constituents: “People like Alex Jones had always had millions of listeners and followers, but Trump brought them into the big tent." independent.co.uk/voices/trump-f…
NOW: The Michigan State Board of Canvassers is considering whether to certify the results of the November 3rd general election.
Michigan Elections Director @JonathanBrater: Results represent "a labor of love, on behalf of our state, performed by Michigan 1600 election clerks and our staff" in "an effort that is unprecedented both in scope and in difficulties."
.@JonathanBrater: "The Bureau has not identified any irregularities this year, other than the typical occasional human error is always part of the process. Overall we had an extremely well run and secure election."
“Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity.”
CONTEXT: During an appearance on @newsmax last night, Powell accused Georgia Governor @BrianKempGA, @GaSecofState Brad Raffensperger, and their families of taking bribes from voting machine manufacturers.
And yet, Powell appeared with Ellis and Giuliani at a press conference last week, during which Giuliani introduced her as a member of the @TeamTrump legal team.
