BREAKING: Federal Appeals Court Tosses Trump Election Case https://t.co/1C9fYKuJDH

Read Court Ruling

 

CHICAGO — A federal appeals court ruled against President Donald Trump in his lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission today. On Christmas Eve, the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed a lower court’s ruling that dismissed Trump’s challenge in Wisconsin.

 

“We agree that Wisconsin lawfully appointed its electors in the manner directed by its Legislature and add that the President’s claim also fails because of the unreasonable delay that accompanied the challenges the President now wishes to advance against Wisconsin’s election procedures,” reads the decision of the panel of three justices.

 

The court said President Trump had a full opportunity before the election to challenge Wisconsin law.

 

“On the merits, the district court was right to enter judgment for the defendants. We reach this conclusion in no small part because of the President’s delay in bringing the challenges to Wisconsin law that provide the foundation for the alleged constitutional violation. Even apart from the delay, the claims fail under the Electors Clause,” the court says.

 

There is no word yet whether the President will appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Before the election they would have ruled no standing.

They’re afraid of riots and getting doxxed by BLM/Antifa.

Bottom line.

PDJT would not have been able to show any damages prior to the election.

The court's position implies the President should have filed suit concerning every state's election laws that could have become a problem prior to being harmed by them.

Catch-22. These courts have been captured by the black hats. Time to see if Judge Troupis can sway the SCOTUS majority. There is a good chance of that!

When a Court has decided what the ruling will be, they will find a way to justify it. If they want, they will tell the Clerk who writes the opinion to find some kind of a reason justify the ruling to put in the opinion.

The corruption and cowardice is so rampant that extreme measures are needed. Go NUCLEAR with the powers given within the Constitution. The times are calling for it. Have a re-election as outlined by Flynn.

This is becoming borderline hilarious. Our POTUS has remained calm, cool and collected while his various allies have tested the honor and effectiveness of the courts in rectifying the effects of a corruptly run election. It’s becoming more and more apparent that the entire court system is corrupt and useless relative the COTUS. So I’m suppressing a giggle as I await Trump’s reveal of the “Little Boy” or “Fat Man” weapon he still has up his sleeve. He tried to do it the nice, polite, reasonable way. But no, they insisted on sticking to their criminal plan. And what of his top prize, blue ribbon three recent appointments to the SCOTUS. Fizzling duds all! Even the vaunted ACB! God help us!

I’m an attorney with over a dozen years of nothing but Fed Court experience. I do not do Constitutional or election law, but I have been voraciously reading election fraud court pleadings, briefs, and opinions, whenever I could get my hands on them. I have Electronic Court Filing privileges with Fed courts, and have sometimes even paid (10 cents per page) to download briefs and opinions.

I will share some thoughts, and I know many of you won’t like what I am saying, and will want to shoot the messenger.

1- PDJT was arguing, months ago, that states allowing unfettered mail-in ballots are opening the door to election fraud. WI legislature should have listened, and should have at least imposed reasonable authentication requirements on mail-in ballots. They didn’t. Why?

2- McConnell sat on multiple election security bills in the Senate, and would not allow a debate or a vote. Why?

3- PDJT’s lead attorney in this case has no relevant experience. His experience is in “sports and athletics law and doping and drug testing law.” This, BTW, is a recurring theme. PDJT has been very poorly represented in the election fraud lawsuits.

4- I read the opinion, and I think the unreasonable delay basis is well-reasoned. You can’t wait until after a law is enacted, and people rely upon it and cast their votes, to come in and overturn it.

5- I have no opinion on the other basis (whether WI properly enacted its mail-in ballot law). I do not practice law in WI, and don’t feel qualified to render an opinion.

6- PDJT, or any candidate or party, would have had standing to challenge WI’s law before the election. Nobody challenged it. Why?

Exactly. They would have said it was premature.

America is now a kleptocracy.

Well, would you say that PDJT’ Campaign’s mistake was their failure to file a lawsuit stopping the unfettered mail-in ballots BEFORE the elections?

What if they did? Wouldn’t the courts simply toast it aside and say that they FAILED to demonstrate harm?

Once that fraud gets into vote totals no judge will touch it and ironically the lack of standing ruling would have taken place before the election...let’s face it the judiciary is corrupt
