Here’s a story of some Big Ls for a man named Jed
RFK & Rubenfeld’s legal raftucking campaign got some appropriate responses today, finally:
CA6, 2-1, rejects RFK Jr’s attempt to get off Michigan’s ballot.

RFK Jr.’s plan was apparently to paralyze the vote count in Wisconsin on Election Day by breaking ballot scanners, leaving room to sow doubt about the results if Harris prevailed. The WI Supreme Court has now shut down that scheme. https://t.co/G2df67BKeI— Mark Joseph Stern (@mjs_DC) September 27, 2024
Breaking: SCOTUS rejects RFK Jr.'s request to have the Supreme Court keep him on the ballot in New York. No justices note their dissent.

The Wisconsin suit was particularly dangerous, making the defeat of the Republican majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Courts one of the most important Dem victories of the last four years. There’s more to be said here but one thing to note is that it is absolutely disgraceful misconduct for Rubenfeld to 1)file lawsuits based on arguments he knows to be wrong, 2)that contradict (also wrong but different) arguments he is making in other jurisdictions, 3)in order to create chaos and subvert fair elections, 4)in order to help Donald Trump and his wife’s evil protege. He has no more business having a license to practice law than John Eastman at this point.
How Rubenfeld came to be RFK’s own personal Sidney Powell is an interesting one — perhaps New York magazine has a star reporter who could look into this? Or perhaps not.
