Are you ready for some Calvinball?
When you don’t require even the slightest merit and have no shame about even the most naked bad faith, the supply of lawsuits is potentially infinite:
Here, meanwhile, is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit praising the mail-in voting system he now says is illegal and encouraging people to use it, though now saying that the votes of those who took this advice should not count -> https://t.co/kNXuv2vi1F— Brad Heath (@bradheath) November 21, 2020
This lawsuit is literally premised on the theory that a statute that virtually every Republican state legislator voted for last year is unconstitutional, although oddly nobody noticed until Joe Biden won the state’s electoral votes:
In the lawsuit, filed this morning in Commonwealth Court, plaintiffs say Act 77 is “unconstitutional,” and “implemented illegally.” They argue it’s an illegal attempt to override limitations on absentee voting, and needed to go through a constitutional amendment first /3— Matt Maisel (@Matt_Maisel) November 21, 2020
Gregory H. Teufel and Brandon M. Shields should be disbarred.
The point of these suits is not to win them, but to create enough of an illusion of an ongoing dispute to give cover to the Emily Murphys of the world. And since this will get a lot of people killed, that’s plenty bad enough!
