Discussion: Judge: Voter Fraud Panel Emails About Potential Members Can Be Withheld, For Now

1 Like

No surprise here, once the emails are released they are out there regardless of what any court has to say about it, so she pretty much had to hold them until the appeal goes through. They have to overturn her though, and, in a usual year, that wouldn’t be likely…who knows what will happen with the Trump/Republican infested judiciary.

Exactly. I don’t know enough about the subject to know for sure if this was a good ruling or poor. I do know this much at least, no one on the REPUG side wants those emails as part of the record. As long as not official then they are just rumors and can be dismissed.

Meh…this is normal for discovery issues that are on appeal. You can’t put the shit back in a dog (altho, I suppose sometimes they do eat it).

Thing is, it’s hard to believe R’s would be worried about the exposure of expressed bias in selection of members of an ostensibly bipartisan committee, when in so many other matters they make no effort to conceal their belief that being anything other than a loyal dues-paying Reactionary is disqualifying to any type of public service.

I think that full publication of what this commission discussed will make voter-suppression efforts more difficult, at least at the lower judicial levels.

In all my years, I have never witnessed a group of people so reticent to discuss, or own up to the things they were doing in the " public service. " You have to go back to Watergate to experience such palpable paranoia and malfeasance.

We do know it’s Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly who’s a no BS judge unlike the “I want to date Manafort” and “Oligarch is such a cruel word” Judge guy.
