A federal judge Thursday cast doubt on President Donald Trump’s lawsuit that seeks to overturn Joe Biden’s win in Wisconsin, declaring it “incredible” that Trump didn’t raise the issues before the election and that siding with him would be “the most remarkable ruling in the history of this court or the federal judiciary.”

What? Trump did not raise issues before election? What planet is this guy living on. Trump wouldn't shut up about the mail in ballot mess that was coming before election.

I’m guessing this same judge would have thrown out the case before the election too because there was no standing and you can’t file a lawsuit in anticipation of a crime happening. Maybe a cease and desist order or something like that, but I’m sure it would have been thrown out anyway. Alito already made an opinion on this before the election anyway, so I think there may be some kind of legal precedent set already. It’s getting fun to watch.

“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?
