I was thinking ‘Stupid Republican’ thread, but Kris Kobach is about as pointless as a person should be, so I give you the ACLU lawsuit against his[KS voter ID law](https://thinkprogress.org/kobach-trial-mess-b617c85bf0c4/) > [@](#): > > Kobach’s lawyers are fumbling questions, misplacing documents, and getting lessons in basic civil procedure. Or from[the local paper](http://www.kansascity.com/latest-news/article204224234.html): > [@](#): > > Federal judge to Kobach: ‘That’s not how trials are conducted’ Note that Kobach himself and his team all claim to be actual lawyers. I think I’ve watched enough\* Perry Mason\* and \*Matlock \*to not make some of those mistakes. ---

He’ll probably be the next Governor of Kansas. ---

> [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > He’ll probably be the next Governor of Kansas. Oh God I hope not. Six years under Clownback was bad enough. I can’t imagine four years under Kobach. There’s a bunch of high school kids running for governor and I’d almost have to think any one of them would make a better gov than KK. ---

[Interesting article in TPM.](https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/kobach-blown-deadline) Super Lawyer Kris Kobach missed a deadline for introducing new evidence, but that hasn’t stopped him from repeatedly trying to introduce the new evidence at trial, getting the smackdown from the judge each time. I wonder how many tries he gets before she slaps him with a contempt of court charge? ---

I wonder how many tries he gets before she slaps him with a contempt of court charge? This kind of resistance to due process and court protocol seems like the hallmarks of a sovcit, not a sitting State functionary and practicing lawyer. Just weird. ---

Is the jury still out on the Scopes trial in Kansas?
