The US Court of Appeals has totally destroyed Trump's claims in Pennsylvania. The opinion, written by Trump appointee Steve Bibas, is devastating. It didn't even bother holding oral argument, saying the "claims have no merit."
All 3 Judges appointed by Republican Presidents. Today, I'm thankful for the Rule of Law. This is what it is all about.
It's hard to imagine a stronger smackdown. Opinion begins: "Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious...Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."
I went to school with Judge Bibas, indeed he was one of the very 1st people I met. He didn't suffer fools gladly then. He's very conservative, but that is the point: true conservatives see this lawsuit for what it is--a baseless attack on our democracy. Trump should be ashamed.
Trump can try to go to Supreme Ct, but the opinion makes it impossible. It's a "greatest hits" compilation of every legal flaw you've heard over the last 3 weeks. Destroys them on the law, on the facts & most of all,by pointing out Trump's media allegations arent in the Complaint
