Not my opinion, but that of a trusted lawfag, re: Sidney case in GA today that begins at the top of the hour:
"I’ve skimmed the briefs. Here’s what they will be arguing. I’ll be driving at 9:00 central and will be unable to comment for a while.
-
Sidney has moved to enjoin/reverse the certification by Rafflesberger. She filed her motion BEFORE the certification occurred. She had originally requested a TRO to prevent certification but Rafflesberger certified while it was pending. So now she’s asking the court to basically strike the certification
-
Sidney has also moved to impound voting machines so they can be forensically examined to determine whether there was Dominion fuckery
-
Kemp and DNC have moved to dismiss these claims. They contend:
A. That the Plaintiffs lack standing to sue (their injury as voters is “generalized” grievance not a particularized harm. Sidney responds that these are electors. (The dudes that would vote in the Electoral College) so they are actually candidates- 6 of the 16 electors are plaintiffs.
B. Laches - DNC says they should have sued before election, and it’s too big of a deal to wait till after. Sidney says no harm to plaintiffs until the theft occurred
C. There is no subject matter jurisdiction in Fed courts bc state law requires an action attacking certification should be in state court. Sidney says that this is GA legislature exercising Art II Federal Power- so subject matter jurisdiction exists in Federal Court.
-
The DNC and Kemp have moved to strike Waldron and the Gang as experts, by saying the Ga/DNC experts know that Sidney’s experts suck. I haven’t read those briefs but from reading Sidney’s opposition she’s basically argued that the Court can figure out which expert is actually giving valid opinions.
-
Sidney argues that the extraordinary relief she’s requesting (decertification of the SoS) bc it was based on that settlement agreement (which is unconstitutional- the legislature has to make the law). Further, Sidney’s contention would have resulted in the violation of the equal protection rights and due process rights of voters. She says that if we examine the machines, we have time to determine before the Electoral College is set to meet (Dec 14).
It sounds like we may hear from witnesses today. I’m assuming the judge will listen to arguments from the attys on the DNC / Kemp Motion to Dismiss (as we all try to digest the fucking irony of the Republican Governor of Georgia taking the same legal position of the DNC and Scumbag defender Elias/Perkins Coie, as Kemp tells Trump voters to get out and vote for his 2 RINOs )
If judge denies these motions or takes them under advisement - we’ll get to hear and see actual evidence. If he grants them in the middle of the hearing, and doesn’t let Sidney put on evidence then Sidney will appeal.
Hopefully- at the very least - Sidney gets to present testimony. If so, I anticipate the hearing lasting all day. And I’m glad. I want to hear an actual computer person defend Dominion fuckery."
