Rats jumping on to a sinking (stinking?) ship.
Will this really endear these assembly people to the citizens of PA?
BTW. The goopers are turning this in to a complete legal circus. Trump judges or not, I can’t see any of the justices feeling kindly towards this kind of abuse.
Did she fall for his charm? His looks? His empathy?
Continuing to think about it, I think the correct terminology should be “Inverse Secession.” The GOP is basically tired of letting the rest of the country be part of the union and is seeking to kick us all out by ending our ability to participate in the nation’s electoral processes.
They['ve already succeeded in preventing our elected officials and chosen representatives from governing, so the natural progression of course would be to end our ability to elect and send them to DC in the first place.
And “Louisiana” is spelled correctly.
Kudos to @JoshShapiroPA and his team. https://t.co/gCcvwOUG1O

Niiiiiice!
Which makes how I heard the phrase more sensible, “a worthless sack of shit”. I Don’t care if it’s sad or happy.
George Conway has something to say -
It’s hard to imagine that any alliance of litigants and lawyers has ever lost more cases for more reasons — and in less time — than this sorry bunch has.
Yet now we have what Trump calls the “big one,” the litigation Trump proclaims will turn it all around.
It’s the big one, all right, the biggest farce of all. It’s a case the state of Texas brought on Monday, directly in the Supreme Court, against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin. In a move that says more about the legal judgment (poor) and the moral fiber (absent) of their attorneys general than it does about the merits of the case, 17 states have now filed a brief in support of Texas, along with Trump.
Brought by Texas’s ethically challenged attorney general, Ken Paxton, the case is legally preposterous. By Texas’s own admission, it’s “challenging” the other states’ “administration of the 2020 election.” No constitutional provision, no statute and no principle of law gives one state the standing to challenge another state’s handling of an election. In our system, Texas isn’t the boss of Pennsylvania. Allowing such suits would invite a multistate free-for-all every time a presidential election is held.
The big fraud of 2020 didn’t take place in any voting booth, drop box or tabulation center. It happened after the election, at the presidential lectern, at news conferences and in legal briefs orchestrated to support the fiction that Donald Trump won. History will record that the scam didn’t succeed.
Question to the learned:
When reading a brief, is it normal behaviour to shout out things like “BAM!” Or “KAPOW!” After completing each sentence?
All it amounts to is "overturn the election results for the President, because our candidate lost.
And leave the rest of the election in which we won, alone."
I presume Shapiro meant Raphael sCruz is “a sad sack (of shit).”
Tweet has a video of John Fetterman on MSNBC. Freakin’ love this guy.
Yes (Bryan Cutler and Kerry Benninghoff).
Plus there’s another one filed by “Certain Select Pennsylvania State Senators.”
And another one by “Members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly.”
Who knew the Court had so many friends?
Yes, if you shout it in Latin.
I don’t know. I’ve been told for at least a good 10 years now that Ted Cruz is the most genius genius who has ever geniused.
FFS now Congress. This is more than just allowing Trump to process his loss. This is sedition. The voters spoke. Joe Biden was elected President by not only the popular vote but by 306 E.C. votes. This is insanity.
Now 106 members of Congress filed a brief in favor of Texas' request to throw out the results of the presidential election in 4 states that didn't vote for Trump, partly because it's important the government operate "based on the consent of the governed." https://t.co/263YsQXlaV pic.twitter.com/BrxyT2chbS

Consider the source!
Good. If they win this, we can wipe out the last four years entirely, because I’m positive I didn’t consent to any of it.
Would that have been Ted Cruz who told you that? It sounds more Trumpian than Trump’s own mumblings.
Hahahaha!
And he says it so calmly and straight-faced that I actually googled “simp harder” thinking that it was a legal or political term!
Josh Marshall? Good point, being right isn’t something he’s good at.
