Gonna be wild when the Oracle's eyebeams turn his hopes at retaining the presidency into that scorched dude in the suit of armor Atreyu has to step over
In other words
Of course, Alito could just put this PA thing out of its misery by himself at this point, with the other Circuit Justices acting alone to put out the other fires coming up from the federal cases in the other states.
Oh hi full court no noted dissent

Oh hey just a reminder that somehow after four years none of the three major Emoluments Clause lawsuits have yet to reach SCOTUS
Here’s the latest state of play as of August
My thoughts as these suits were being conceived days before Trump’s inauguration

On Tuesday, SCOTUS will return to an issue it heard and then dodged nearly a decade ago: whether corporations can be held liable for human rights abuses abroad supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?fi…
The justices first agreed to take up the issue in 2011, when the Citizens United ruling was still fresh in peoples' minds. I was a baby professional journalawyer and wrote about it.

Vice Chair Aaron Van Langevelde, one of the MI Board of State Canvassers' two Republicans, apparently committing to vote to certify state's results for Biden:

"We have a duty to certify based on these returns, and we are limited to these returns."

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.
