Yep, thank goodness.
And the Director of the FBI knows that he wouldnt fare well in prison, so making a bogus arrest is off the table, even tho trump is gonna fire him.
FBI director is probably going on a variant on that “better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6”:
“Better to be fired than tried”
Tossing out 117000 already-cast ballots in Harris County, TX, if successful, could finally be Trump’s winning October Surprise.
Doubtful, but still- you ever notice that when the Pubs want to throw out ballots, it is always in a heavily Democratic area? 
Now up to 127,000 votes.
What’s worse is that the Republican plaintiffs waited until the last minute and are asking for them to all be thrown out. By the time the appeals are resolved, it will be too late for these voters to vote in an alternative manner. The obvious goal is voter suppression—they are looking for any excuse to throw out votes.
As one voter noted:
“I’m just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best, but I think this is ridiculous,” Christine Charles told The Texas Tribune Saturday. “They could have done this two weeks ago, and we could have voted [inside] in person.”
About $1.17. 
I have no idea, and said “millions” without specifying the currency. Most useful to Donald, of course, would be about $500,000,000. But that might be an amount Vlad would notice. It’s a bit more than he typically loses in his sofa cushions, anyway.
An estimate from about a year-and-an-half ago:
Seriously, in San Francisco, up through at least the mid-1980s, there was a road sign on the road that led away from the Golden Gate Bridge that said “No Trucks or Busses.”
As for the November Surprise, somebody get a list of the “battleground states” where the Secretary of State is a Republican, since if a state presents two sets of electoral votes and the House votes to accept one while the Senate votes for the other (and note it will be the just-elected Congress that votes, although if either Georgia Senate race has a runoff, there may not be time to swear in the winner before the vote), the votes “certified by the state’s executive” count.
Are the now 2 seperate plantiffs for this?
Cross-posted from the Mail-In Ballots Good, Bad, and Ugly thread because it’s germane here too:
Regardless, do I understand correctly that, for this judge on Monday to throw these votes out, he is going to first have to decide that they should be because the state legislataure did not specifically vote for this, even though past precedents have said that the legislature doesn’t have to authorize every little detail of how voting is done in counties, and he will also have to rule that a federal court can overrule state Supreme Courts on election law?
I think I will ask my Karen lawyer friend (her name is actually Karen), who happens to live in Texas
Yeah, something like that. What I’ve been reading suggests that the argument to toss those ballots is all kinds of wrong, but there’s some expectation that the judge will toss them anyway just because he has a history of being a blatant right-wing partisan.
that is my big concern. He will do this best to throw them out, but he is going to have to have some legal argument to do so. What would that be? And if it is completely wrong, it will go to the US Supreme Court, well after the election. And welcome to all of our nightmares, it all coming down to Florida in a couple of weeks. I don’t think it will matter, Biden doesn’t need Florida
He may not need some sound legal argument. Who can predict what the US Supreme Court will do.
The real problem is the “…well after the election” part. If it isn’t settled by first thing Tuesday morning, all those people who voted by drive-thru won’t know if they need to go vote again, in person, on Tuesday. And if the DO learn that they need to vote all over again, then you’ve got 127000 voters all trying to vote in one county on Tuesday. Good luck with that.
Can he just throw them out, with something like an unsigned opinion? If the election did come down to those 120k ballots, they would not require them to vote on Tuesday, that could not possibly be done. It would have to be done later, and then what? You contact all of those people and have them walk in their votes, which the Supreme Court would not allow because the Supreme Court can’t get involved close to an election?
If there was a way for all of those people to vote again, the GOP wouldn’t be bothering to do this.
I think that is my point, trying to remember 2000, Dems wanted a state recount, SC would not allow it.
Whatever, gives me a chance to link to one of my favorite SNL skits of all time. The question is moot, Biden will win without Florida, maybe he will win even with 129k votes not allowed.
