I paid $9 for Trump’s Motion for Emergency Injunctive Relief that was filed in Fulton County yesterday. So let’s see what it says!

First, counsel can’t seem to decide whether this Motion is being filed on behalf of all the plaintiffs or just David Shafer. 1/

First request made to the court: please add all other slates of electors as parties to this lawsuit.

I’m gonna predict that’s getting a big “No.”

Also, it misspells Secretary Raffensperger’s last name.

2/

It requests the court to “order a new Presidential Election.”

Also, not gonna happen. Especially not based on THIS motion.

(And for the record, I didn’t bold that line. It’s bolded in the motion.)

3/

It twice gets the date wrong as to when Congress certifies the Electoral College’s vote, saying it is “January 6, 2020.”

i.e., eleven months ago

4/

This entire Motion cites only one bit of election caselaw, and it’s from a *dissent*. Not even a 4-person dissent from a closely divided court at that; it’s from the part of Ginsburg’s dissent that was only joined by Justice Stevens.

5/

If the true deadline is “January 6, 2020,” then the action is very, VERY moot.

6/

Wherein the petitioners argue that Congress shouldn’t be governed by *old* laws. Because, you see, they’re OLD!

Also, I’m pretty sure the 5th Congress didn’t meet in 1877.

7/

The attorney apparently couldn’t fit everything he wanted in Paragraphs 13 and 14, so he just doubled back and gave them a second chance.

8/

Still misspelling his own client’s name.

9/

That is not a real Georgia statute.

I think he *might* be trying to refer to the hearsay exception in OCGA 24-8-803, but that’s just a guess.

10/

I haven’t gotten to see this Exhibit yet, but it would seem to be based on mathematical guesses, not actual voter or ballot counts.

Plus, 66,247 is roughly half the 17-year-olds in the entire state of Georgia. So these numbers aren’t exactly super-credible on their face.

11/

They might as well have cut-and-pasted this whole paragraph off Gateway Pundit, because it’s so inaccurate. The pipe issue was at an entirely different time of day, and even the monitors don’t claim it was cited as a reason for them to leave that night.

And the Motion ends with a short prayer for relief which is substantially different from the prayer for relief that was bullet-pointed back on page 3.

13/

Also, this Motion was filed not by either of the two attorneys who filed the lawsuit on Friday, but by a THIRD attorney who suddenly entered the case on Monday, a business and real estate lawyer from Roswell.

14/

And, granted, the above doesn’t really dig into the legal merit (or lack thereof) of this Motion or the suit it’s attached to. But perhaps it illustrates the level of care and attention to detail that’s at play in this petition, and how unserious it is.
