I ... I'm speechless. @bradheath @questauthority did you see this? courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Folks, one of the basic rules of litigation practice, as a lawyer, is this: You DO NOT speak directly to an opposing party who is represented by counsel, unless SPECIFICALLY authorized to do so by that party's counsel

Yesterday was, very literally, a day that will live in infamy. Our children's children will learn about it in schools - if we're lucky enough to survive long enough as a nation for them to.

It was also totally predictable
You know how I know it was predictable?

I, and many others way wiser than I am, have been predicting it for quite a while. Some of us have faced real consequences for that (looking at you, @MsEntropy - I'd want to break things today, good on you for lauging)
I say all of this as an intro to my broader point: The Senators who, today, are piously wringing their hands and "who-could-have-imagined"-ing about yesterday's events? The ones who went "wait wait wait this is a bridge too far we need to stop this"?

Resign.

Pence reporting, correctly, that there is only one certificate from AZ

I understand the impulse, but I think it's not valid
Both Loeffler and Perdue ran significantly behind their November totals. That was no doubt impacted, at least somewhat, by Trump's effort to overturn his own election loss
Not only did Trump give his own partisans a reason to stay home ("it's so rigged anyway"/"you're not fighting hard enough") but the reason those two ran ahead of trump in November was because of ticket splitters who voted for them AND Biden

Raffensperger has filed his response to the new Trump case, on very short notice. @questauthority is livereading it here twitch.tv/questauthority

So I'll do a twitter thread
Let's start with the Table of Contents, which tells you which points they're going to hit. It's all the ones you would expect: the 5 reasons the court shouldn't bother hearing the case at all (standing, mootness, laches, sovereign immunity, abstention) plus losing anyway
This is a nice start to the intro. We counted this stuff over and over. We've already certified repeatedly, appointed electors, sent in the slate, they voted already.

We. Are. Done. This is in Congress's hands now. So what are they doing in your court suing us??

The judge in this case has now issued an absolutely brutal smackdown that you'll enjoy reading. It comes complete with a well-earned threat of sanctions.
Here's the decision. Some highlights follow

Pretty sure I said this, using slightly different words!
