““Last-minute changes to longstanding election rules risk other problems too, inviting confusion and chaos and eroding public confidence in electoral outcomes,” he wrote. “No one doubts that conducting a national election amid a pandemic poses serious challenges. But none of that means individual judges may improvise with their own election rules in place of those the people’s representatives have adopted.”

This is exactly what has happened.

If Trump had sued Wisconsin over their ad hoc election rules before the election this bullythug judge would have thrown out the suit for lack of injury, and would have instructed the President to sue after the election if he thought something bad had happened due to the rule change.

In other words, these are bought judges. They won’t let you win on either side of the question.

Beat me to it. See post 24.

The judge is a crook and a liar. You can’t possibly win in front of him.

Judges who virtue signal are not judges. They are advocates.

Trump wants to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots.

If the ballots are illegal, unconstitutional or fraudulent the accurate statement would be, Trump wants to protect more than 221,000 legally cast ballots.

And recall that this happened with the Obama birth certificate: When it was initially taken to court (maybe in Wisconsin?!) they said “ he hasn’t been elected yet so there’s no controversy, come back if he wins” .

Which of course they did and they said “it’s too late to bring this up, the issue is stale”.

It’s Through the Looking Glass.

“Trump is pursuing extraordinary attempts to overturn Biden’s win with a pair of lawsuits in Wisconsin, in federal and state courts.”

Extraordinary corruption, conspiracy, and fraud require extraordinary remedies.

“Raise the issues” as in “file a case in court.”

Which, of course, would have been dismissed as not being ripe for litigation, owing to there not yet being any harm prior to an election.

Catch-22: too early to challenge before the election, too late to challenge afterwards. Which millisecond on Election Day (a concept which is a farce at this point) is the correct one on which to file such a suit?

Beforehand weren’t cases being thrown out for lack of standing and that nothing had yet occurred?

“Trump didn’t raise the issues before the election”

Ahhh...but he did.

“MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS,” tweeted Trump in June. “IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!”

We had since 2000 to clean the system up. Most did not want to do anything to it because they knew.

This Judge was a Trump appointee. Why do Obummer Judges toe the party line and supposedly Republican Judges seem to side with the lefties? Maybe they weren’t conservative to begin with!
