    There is nothing funny about the Republican Party’s multipronged attack on voting rights, says

    I look forward to "appellate review of denial of a motion to amend the complaint" twitter, since every other legal doctrine has had its moment in the sun in the Trump Administration.

    The answer, actually, is yes. See Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178 (1962), the patron saint of losing plaintiffs everywhere.

    Has the US Supreme Court ever previously reviewed the denial of a motion seeking leave to amend?

    If you stop thinking of Trump's post-election litigation as a good faith effort to win in court, and think of it instead as a grifting scheme, it makes a lot more sense.

    How does TRUMP think he's doing with his election contests? He's now upped to 75% the percentage of donations to his recount committee that will instead go to his post-presidency Leadership PAC/slush fund.

    So the Trump campaign has decided to pin the blame for botched district court litigation on Linda Kerns being terrified of a Kirkland & Ellis associate and not doing her job. Okay then.

    Strong piece by on why Trump’s attempts to have state legislatures steal the election will likely and hopefully fail.

    Both and I served as Deputy Assistant Attorneys General for Civil Rights at the US Department of Justice. Here, we argue that if the canvassers refuse to certify Michigan's vote today they will be violating a Voting Rights Act provision w/criminal penalties.

    If Trump was surprised by his loss in the PA suit, he's not getting very good legal counsel from anyone.

    The president was not pleased by the loss in the PA suit, per people familiar with what took place. Powell was easiest to vote off the island, especially as the president was getting complaints about her from a number of people.

    The legal "strategy" pursued by the Trump campaign makes more sense if you don't think of its purpose as winning in court.

    We are not asking much of elected Republicans. The fear of being targeted by a presidential tweet and gaining a primary opponent is real enough. But it is hardly the risk of a young soldier on D-Day, or a protester at a segregated lunch counter. 11/

    Let's just establish in advance that it will not make the Supreme Court liberal, or even moderate, when it declines to hear this frivolous case.

    Giuliani says, optimistically, that losing brutally at the trial level will only get him to the Supreme Court more quickly.

    Trump's lawyers said the other day that the press refuses to look at all the evidence the president and his allies have put forward of a massive scheme to rig the election. I did. Georgia edition, from the case filed by Trump ally L. Lin Wood ->

    The commitment to comply with the ADA apparently extends just far enough to have an excuse for not following mask requirements, but not far enough to actually provide access.

    The Supreme Court’s embrace of the QUALIFIED IMMUNITY legal defense for cops in excessive force cases is on a collision course with another legal issue the conservative justices have championed: gun rights The latest part of our investigation:

    "Doing that would be contrary to all of our democratic principles," the aides failed to respond.

    Trump has asked aides what Republican officials he could call in other battleground states, not just Michigan, in his effort to prevent the certification of results that would formalize his loss to Biden, several advisers said.

    We all laugh at the frivolous arguments being made by the Trump lawyers, but the real takeaway is that they don't need good arguments to get political backing. Imagine what a nightmare we'd have right now if the arguments rose to the level of being weak.

    LOL. The ballots were fine right up the ballot to the presidential vote, which was fake.

    President Trump's lawyers have filed a new motion in Pennsylvania making clear that they only want to block the state from certifying the results of the presidential election, which they claim was fraudulent. It can certify the other races, decided on the same ballots, they say.

    It's not about Trump. We've always known he would do this. It's about all the other people who are enabling it.

    This is the most important legal point about all of these lawsuits: What you’re hearing from the crazy people on TV is very different from what the crazy people are *alleging* in court — and it’s the *latter* that matters if these suits are anything other than political stunts.

    Trump's lawyers say they will prove their claims of a massive election-rigging conspiracy in its various lawsuits, and that we're just not to the evidentiary phase. But Trump's campaign hasn't actually made these allegations in *any* of the cases it's filed.
