Ben Ginsberg — the longtime GOP elections law guru who in recent weeks has grown increasingly vocal about his fears about President Trump’s anti-democracy rhetoric — took his come-to-Jesus moment to the next level on Sunday.
I actually think this will help. And if through some travesty, the fascist federal judge says toss the ballots I think even our supremely corrupt scotus would overule and allow the ballots.
Sounds like a win to me.
Friend of the court? Ok.
More like Friend of the Country.
Welcome aboard the anti-Trump Train.
This is the surest sign yet that Trump is done. If the Cons thought he had a hope in hell, they’d be tossing those ballots, but quick. Trump is toast in Texas, too.
Ginsberg lays out a basic principle: be on the side of counting ballots.
I think most voters agree.
If you consider:
Matters not if they are sitting in a vehicle.
I’m just waiting for the helicopter to hoist Fat Nixon off the White House roof, ala Saigon 1974.
Just drop him in the ocean. Do us all a favor.
With all the Big Macs Herr Twitler will have consumed locked down in Der Furorbunker?
Gonna need one of these by that time–
The name of the judge is Andrew Hanen, appointed by bush the lesser. He’s a right-wing nutjob’s nutjob, though most of his batshit rulings have been on immigration issues, not voting law (maybe he’s lacked the opportunity). The 5th circuit of appeals has overturned at least one of his orders, that 3000 attorneys in the Obama DoJ take ethics training.
Ginsberg? Ginsberg? Hmmmm… This wouldn’t be the same fellow who hemmed and hawed his way through arcane reasonings to advise against the impeachment of an indisputably corrupt Current Occupant before the Senate not so long ago, would it? 
Well, every Saul has a Damascus, I guess.
Considering they’ve activated 250 National Guard and are putting an “unscalable wall” around the WH, not so far-fetched that protesters might just overrun the place in a worst-case scenario.
It’s pretty clear that, in the lead-up to the Battle of Lafayette Park, the protesters came a lot closer to overrunning whatever was in place before that than is publicly known.
The county clerk, not the state legislature, decides where polling locations will be. This polling location was a big ol’ parking lot. If the voter is physically unable to enter that big ol’ parking lot without likelihood of injuring the voter’s health, on the voter’s request, an election officer shall deliver a ballot to the voter at the entrance or curb of that big ol’ parking lot.
They won’t, if texas is the swing state and can be decided by the Harris county margin. They’ve been quite careful the past few weeks to set up decisions that can be applied to individual states post election, when they’ll know the numbers.
That’s “curbside voting”, which is not at issue here. What is conducted in your Harris county parking lot is “drive-through voting”, where the voter drives into a big tent, has his ID checked, and then votes at a voting machine while seated in his/her car.
That’s my point.
If Trump acts too crazy after the election, the Guard will be walling him in for his own protection. While I would love for him to hunker down in there and suffer, being the coward he is my bet is on him resigning and fleeing elsewhere at the first sign of trouble.
