Discussion: Judge Delays N.C. Elections Board Law After Lawsuit Filed By Gov.-Elect Cooper

A blatant power-grab by the right-wing neofascists.

Thank Dog the judge has a brain.

Thank the FSM that at least 1 D has some guts and does’t follow hillary’s example of slinking off to a well feathered nest.
Or
schumers example of surrendering and becoming a rethuglican leader of the D’s minority in senate as he embraces the usurpers agenda.

Bullshit---just like everything you post.

McRory/GOP: We messed up by not stripping Democrat judges to be part of our justice system. Only Republican Judges should hear all court cases at all levels.

I’m cheering that there were some grounds that they could file this lawsuit on. Such complete and utter BS move from the Republicans.

And that there was a remotely ethical judge there to respond.

This is where the Unpresident is going to start having trouble, too. The 3 branches are jealous of their power, they are very aware of their power and they don’t take kindly to other branches attempts to usurp it. And you really don’t want to fuck around with federal judges in particular.

Until he controls absolutely everything, the Unpresident is going to find that it’s not all cakes and ale.

Good, because this naked attempt to usurp power is utterly contemptible and needs to be strangled in its crib.

Rather then blind, baseless, insults when I challenge your group think show me wrong.

  1. hillary has vanished reportedly back to her “compound” in up market Chappaqua and not been seen except for self congratulatory forays where she blames everyone but herself for her incompetent campaign. Really lossing to this conman.
    No legal challenges, No pointing out she got more votes, No challengess to the usurper. just dead silence from a pitiful loser who, hopefully, has slunk off stage only to be seen at drumpf’s weddings and Goldman sachs speeches.

  2. Schumer is tripping over himself to embrace the usurper and condemn D’s as sells out any progressive movement that does not guareentee a steady flow of money and tools of murder to Israel with no, real, restricitions on how they are used, even when used to arm murderers in illegal occupation fortresses plus working as hard as possible to enrich his hedge fund/wall street masters. His comments on the abstention in the UN and his embaressing embrace of the usurpers plan to privatize infrastructure through tax breaks and other welfare for the 1%.
    If possible please try to address issues rather then to becoming offensive and insulting when it becomes obvious that you have nothing on the issue and personal attacks is the your only response when your opinions are questioned.

Where a lawsuit has been filed of sufficient importance to report that it was filed, would it kill you to mention what provision of the NC State Constitution the suit alleges that the challenged law violates and not make me look up the pleadings myself? This is everything that is wrong with reporting today. This is why I now subscribe to a half dozen different news sources. But still, I have to read the thing myself. No shortage of coverage of what Trump said about Putin though. Not that there is anything to report. Just read the “tweet”, speculate, and call it a day.

depends on WHO appointed those federal judges…that is what the dems needed to do a go around in the senate to get obamas judges appointed.

Anyone have an idea of the likelihood the lawsuit will succeed? I know what I wish to hear, but the dice don’t seem to be falling the same way anymore.

The Fact that Hillary has retreated to her well feathered nest is a reality
The fact that schumer has expressed outrage at Obama’s abstention from the vote on illegal occupation on conquered lands in the mid east is a fact.
That schumer has sought to help the usurper is a fact with him


“Democrats who spoke with Schumer that night and in the following days described him as making an immediate shift to strategizing about how to work with Trump while also identifying where he would oppose him — and trying to talk himself into the idea that the president-elect isn’t really a Republican, but a pragmatist with no apparent ideological mooring.”

Notice neither of these sources are from world nut daily of which you display an embarrassing familiarity

I actually disagree with this. At the trial court level, who you get assigned to is usually just luck of the draw, although you usually get a peremptory challenge.

Can I have a link for that? I’m having trouble finding one when I google.

As far as Hillary is concerned, what do you think she should do? No evidence of hacking.

I was just going to say - it doesn’t always matter who appointed a particular judge - the point is that most federal judges follow the damn law and they don’t care if their decisions are popular.

They don’t answer to much of anyone - lifetime appointments do that. Most of the federal judges I’ve known have been extremely oriented to the law.

And really this was meant as a reply to @jadez. Just adding to what you posted, @katscherger

“In even years — which are typically election years—the board would be chaired by a Republican, while Democrats would hold the chairmanship in the odd years.”

The legislation further specifies that on days whose names end with the letter “Y”, straight white Christian men are allowed to vote in statewide elections, while people of color, women, LGBTs, and non-Christians are allowed to vote in statewide elections on days whose names end with any other letter.

Seems fair enough.

Excuse me, but when have you seen the loser of a presidential election do anything else for awhile after losing? They all disappear.

She has people to handle this. She doesn’t need to.
