.@RudyGiuliani and me on Third Circuit’s opinion:
The activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania continues to cover up the allegations of massive fraud.
We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to present proof and the facts to the PA state legislature.
On to SCOTUS!
All three justices are Republicans. They voted unanimously. The opinion was written by a Trump appointee. And they concluded, "the campaign cannot win this lawsuit".
It's not difficult to conclude (and hasn't been for weeks) that Trump's crowd is not at all concerned with law nor the legal issues they are pretending concern them.
Trump's past words suggest all is based on hope that the SC will bail him out. And surely that was central in his thinking when he made the last appointment (even though he was likely encouraged by others for their own reasons to make that choice, eg McConnell, Leonard Leo, etc).
Aside from that motivation, it's difficult to ascertain if there's any other strategy involved (which doesn't involve fatter bank accounts for the principals). There might not be any. These aren't geniuses here.
