It took one sentence for the United States Supreme Court this week to decline to overturn certified election results in Pennsylvania. It was the latest failed attempt by Donald Trump's lawyers to challenge the November election, which he lost.
It's not just judges that are rejecting Rudy Giuliani's arguments. A bipartisan group of over 1,500 lawyers have signed an open letter addressed to the American Bar Association, saying Trump's lawyers need to be held accountable.
One of the signatories is Hugh Spitzer. He teaches Constitutional Law, and Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility at the University of Washington School of Law.

Capt Gregory Prickett - I see where you went with that one. Wonder if the Kraken is licensed in any states. Saw this. https://www.newsweek.com/dismissed-prejudice-district-judge-nixes-trumps-federal-lawsuit-wisconsin-1554347

"In his reply brief, plaintiff 'asks that the Rule of Law' be followed," U.S. District Judge Ludwig wrote. "It has."

I am going to go out on a limb- almost as much as the last 8 years of taxpayer money dumped into to influence the next election or the next candidate to the dumpster. The two party system is a dumpster fire of what is politically correct and not what is best for government. And We the People keep putting them right back into the spot to continue their power grab and corruption.
