That could well be. Slow walking it is her apparent strategy.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but since Michigan has certified, she has only until the 13th for Michigan to finish. Correct?

Almost at the end. Not allowed to quote here but it says Schuette tried to intervene on Sunday night and had filed something with Goldsmith who has not responded. Ahem. Not responded since Sunday night.

Anyway we love our motown. Wilson Pickett. You betcha.

I’d say by tomorrow night the counting will have stopped.

Ok Optimist I will be in touch on this.

The counting may be stopped but there may be some further last ditch manouevers in the courts.

The State should stiff arm the Feds on the recount, but definitely leave the door open to investigate the Fraud in the various precincts.

Her only other play is the Michigan Supreme Court. No way she wins that.
The Feds, other than dissolving the order, aren’t going to touch it at this point.

Violating the order of a federal judge can net you prison time.

No one here is gonna stop counting until Goldsmith says we can.

See my post above - 184.

I have a Ph.D. and this is swahili. No clue who to root for here.

Like watching the Packers play the Eagles.

As a Vikings fan, the correct answer is "I hope they both lose." Err, that is, Hillary *and* Stein, not Trump.

...oh wait.

Well it looks like there is a consensus among us that we are in a legal endgame at this point. Still curious to see how it finally plays out. Have a good evening all - I’m off for a walk.

The federal judge will yield because “his bosses” told him what they expect.

-- Schuette ... had filed something with Goldsmith who has not responded. Ahem. Not responded since Sunday night. --

It was a motion to intervene, add himself (or the state) as a party to the case between the Green Party and the GOP. The story you linked said that the idiot judge didn't grant the request, not that he didn't respond to the request.

Motown was good stuff. I grew up in Holland. Lived a few years in Marshall, as an adult. Do some work up in Troy a few times a year.

I hope you are correct. But our AG filed something with Goldsmith on Sunday night and has yet to get a response.

AG is not federal judge’s boss. Federal judge’s bosses made their intent known.

“Her only other play is the Michigan Supreme Court. No way she wins that.”

And the Goldsmith’s order to start the recount early has the boilerplate:

“To determine whether to grant a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order, a district court must consider: (i) whether the movant has a strong likelihood of success on the merits;... “

Yep Credit. Enough so that she will be more hated by the left than even Trump is.

Thank you! It can be hard "quoting" but not really. Obviously I misread.

Whoo hoo, you are a Michigander too.

We are south of Gaylord. In the sticks for sure. Pileated woodpeckers, deer, fox, and turkeys almost a daily sight here, and our neighbors have a shooting range. The Ausable is down the road and we back onto the Deward tract. Doesn't get any better than here imo. Redneck heaven with snow.

That’s right. The LEFT must be nuked from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure (we are rid of them).

Right on, no more of this crap, going forward.....McCain: GOP Will Have to Make Concessions for 'Grand Bargain'

McLame is not the only one of these corruptocrats sitting on the right side - count in Linda, Flake, Collins and many more. Chuckie is just waiting with baited breath to take on these weaklings. Trump better call them into the WH and set down the rules on Jan 21, 2017 just like Pelousy does to her RATs.
