I recommend you cover some Barry Berk; he was interviewed by Nicolle Wallace and had a great point not covered by media. We need to stop focusing on the court cases and focus on the fact that Trump is unfit to be POTUS. I’m sure I didn’t do him justice, but media needs to get onboard with how sick some of us are of the horse race coverage, TV lawyers’ grift.
Institutions are failing us in a big way. Two prime examples lately are the media (present company excluded) and the justice system. We need a major overhaul!
Re: the polls...people were first saying early polling showed Biden weakness that they were "400 days out, and meaningless", then "300 days and meaningless", so now is it to be "200 days and meaningless" ? Gotta admit, despite sharp takedowns of the NYT/Siena polling, Biden's persistent low approval and high negative views by the public surely must get reflected in polling, however flawed they may be in statistical breakdown.
At what point do we really start worrying? Asking for a friend.
Just for the record again, I still don’t understand the basis on which the ninth rate lawyer in Atlanta, likely following orders from the primary defendant, wants Willis disqualified as opposed to following Trump’s First Law of Litigation, to wit, throw up any roadblock they can to delay the case til after fPOTUS is re-elected or, failing that, successfully tosses Biden’s election.
The one thing I’ve heard albeit on social media is that Willis and Wade were already in a relationship and she hired him despite a lack of qualification on his pert, solely to funnel taxpayer dollars to him (I guess that could involve a kickback to her).
The problem with that theory is that I’ve seen no confirmation that that’s being claimed. I should add that presumably Wade was hired because competence in helping to run something like this. If it was for a bullshit position on the team, I’m sure Willis has more than enough junior staffers for that.
So without any claim of them ripping off taxpayers, what credible, real world basis to disqualify Willis?
As to Wade’s qualifications, fun factoid: Chris Christie’s nomination to be a USA in Jersey ran into initial resistance because some in the position to get the party’s choice nominated and confirmed balked at making a mortgage attorney without any relevant experience a USA. They approved the choice of Christie once he agreed to make a genuinely competent attorney his #2 to actually run the office. Pending proof to the contrary, I can’t believe Wade isn’t better than Christie’s level of zero competence.
So what am I missing? Is there any legitimate basis for DQ’ing Willis that I’m missing or is this essentially just Trump bullshit and nothing more?
As for McAfee, like with Engoron, all i’s have to be dotted, t’s crossed and all that. His decision has to be appellate reversal-proof and those decisions take time. (Writing a post-trial decision like Engoron’s does not, cannot be written quickly. Writing 90pp of decision takes time.) So his taking two weeks here makes sense.
Supremes go unanimous on DQ..."need Congressional action before §3 enforcement", and "states can boot off the ballot candidates for state offices but not federal"...expected, and ZERO reference to tRump and insurrectionary acts.
So SCOTUS gives tRump a twofer, and Aileen Cannon is banjaxing the MAL docs case to such a degree that a trial any time is problematic.
In WV, Don Blankenship, THE Don Blankenship, he of the "Who needs coalmine safety?" philosophy? A "Democrat"? Oy vey!
The best news this morning?
Cole Brauer! Way to go, Cole.
