We Have Our Answers (At Least Two Of Them)

by | 191 Comments

This post is in: , ,

There was much discussion on Wednesday (I think) about whether the Aug 8 hearing on Trump’s motion to disqualify Fani Willis  would still be happening after another judge ruled on what sort-of-mostly-seemed like the same thing.

We have our answer.

Amazingly, Trump’s attorneys have voluntarily dismissed their motion.  I would like to have been a fly on that wall to hear what their thinking was.  Since roads are being blocked off next week, did they figure out that their motion wasn’t going to stop Fani Willis?  Was Trump afraid it would make him appear weak to be smacked down yet again?  Whatever the reason, it’s unlikely to have been because it was the right thing to do.

On the other hand, who cares what he’s thinking?

I am glad, though, to see that Aug 8 hearing taken off the calendar.

In other good news, the two Justins won their special elections.

Two Democratic lawmakers who were expelled from the Tennessee legislature earlier this year after angering the Republican majority with a protest against gun violence won a special election on Thursday to serve out the remainder of their terms.

Justin Pearson and Justin Jones both beat Republican challengers to reclaim their seats, the Associated Press reported.

    This  article adds that Trump and his attorneys will appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court.

    Lawyers for former President Donald Trump declared late Thursday that they will appeal a judge’s ruling that shot down their bid to gut Fulton County District Fani Willis’s prosecution of alleged criminal interference in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.

    . . .

    It was then assigned to Senior Judge Stephen Schuster from Cobb County, who scheduled a hearing on the matter for Aug. 10. But that will no longer be necessary because Trump’s attorneys on Thursday said they are voluntarily dismissing this challenge so they can pursue an appeal of McBurney’s order.

    @Scout211: Seems legit path.  The state Supremes threw out the request for emergency relief as premature.  Now, Trump’s attorneys will play through the appeals system and hope the elected judges on teh state supreme will back the party over the law or justice.

    @Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):

    Yeah, pretty much but the intermediate appellate court has to rule and issue opinion before the Supremes decide to review, set a date, review, and issue opinion.  ALL of which has to beat Willis to the punch.  As bbleh noted, that’s unlikely.

    @bbleh:

    While true, this would be the first time they’ve weighed in on the conflict of interest that forced Willis to recuse for 1 fake elector, only for Trump.  New territory and a good opportunity to put thumb on scale for first time.

    @Scout211: 2018, GOP got 46% of state Lege vote but 64% of seats.  Current map would require Democrats to get over 61% of two-party vote to breach 50%.

    WI Supremes will probably strike down map, appoint special maters, and try for 2024 maps.  I suspect we’ll see how the SCOTUS decides to protect partisan gerrymanders from state level review.

    In other Trump news, I continue to marvel at his stupid lies.  Yesterday, in his statement after being arraigned, he threw in a line about terrible D.C. looked during his trip from the airport to the courthouse, describing, among other things, broken buildings.

    As it happens, I work near the courthouse, and walk and drive in that area all the time.  I don’t know the specific route he took, but on the route from the airport to the city itself is a parkway and a nice bridge, then you see the Jefferson Memorial, and then depending which way you go it’s mostly highways with nice buildings around or some of the nicer bits of D.C. – 14th Street, which goes across the Mall, Constitution Avenue or Pennsylvania Avenue (past, ironically enough, his former hotel), etc.  There’s not a single “broken” building and no visible graffiti or even much in the way of litter.

    What a jerk.

    @Betty Cracker: Part of the crackpot stuff in Green Bay was developing signals with his receivers that the coaches didn’t even know, which made for a very high learning curve to work with Rodgers and gave him a way of punishing receivers he didn’t like.  The results were great and he got away with it because of the prodigious talent, but that is not good coaching.

    His offensive coordinator in New York is his favorite coach from the Packers, Hackett.  I find it hard to believe the Jets offense is going to work differently from how Rodgers has operated for over a decade.  It’s fine.  But it won’t be less dysfunctional.

    @Fair Economist: Gerrymandering isn’t just for Wisconsin.  In New Hampshire the Democrats got more votes for the state senate, house and executive committee, yet didn’t control any of them.  For the senate, the Republicans held 14 of 24 seats despite Democrats getting the majority, the house they only had 4 extra seats out of 400 because it’s harder to gerrymander at such low number of voters.  Unfortunately the majority of the state supreme court was appointed by Republicans and they look very unlikely to fix the problem.

    Hearing that Trumps team is upset over Mr.  Trump and Not President Trump.

    It’s striking to me that Trump and his crew don’t grasp the difference between a “rank and title” and a rank and title.  One of these, is granted permanently by congress or a group of your peers or superiors.  The other is a temporary honorific you are granted while doing a job.  The lines may blur (professional courtsey, and many people with granted ranks and titles also hold temporary ones) but it’s largely pretty clear.  You are no longer a president when you stop presidenting, but if you are a USMC General you are always that, but you don’t keep specific command titles.  Hence Admiral Stavridis still Admiral, but he is former Supreme Allied Commander as he is not in that function now.

    Also most retired people hate that rank crap but know it’s needed in places and times.  As someone who works next to a lot of former star ranks (and former NCO here) not a damn one of them wants the honors of it.   And if I were to start using ranks they’d be upset.  We use first names.  If it’s a “sir” moment it’s a formal function and we both realize we both feel fucking stupid doing it.  If it’s a General or Admiral moment we both stupid then too.  And then go right back to cursing and swearing like proper vets.

    For a bunch of “support da troops!” idiots they sure as fuck don’t understand it.  But then again we have conservatives saying young men should be forced into the military cause that will stop the cursing, drinking, video games, and porn.  Which is just mind blowing.  Have they met the military?  I’m all for military service and I loved mine but apart from the entire war part of it most of what I did involved cursing, drinking, video games and porn.

    While special elections are, by definition, idiosyncratic, they are often quite predictive. And Democrats have been over performing by an average of 7.5% in special elections. Again, that’s no guarantee of future results, but it is definitely a hopeful sign.

    Meanwhile, in Ohio, Democrats are showing up in greater numbers than Republicans, and women are showing up and much greater numbers than men, in the the Constitutional ballot question on August 8th. It looks like it’s shaping up as another Kansas.

    @NotMax: There’s a Lodi in NJ.

    Where my grandmother and (step)grandfather[1] lived on Garibaldi Avenue to the end of their days. She failed to wake up the morning of the wedding of one of her grandsons.[2] He, in classic Corleonic fashion [3], stroked out amongst the tomato plants in the vegetable garden out back and died a few days later.

    Just sayin’.

    [1] Biological grandfather died when my father was 4.

    [2] The ceremony and reception went off as planned; no one told the bride’s family, who were understandably bemused by how somber the groom’s side was.

    [3] Befitting a siciliano born in Messina.

    @Omnes Omnibus: Oh no, I actually enjoy the music you guys link to. I like WG’s suggestion. It’s time to dig into the 80s. If I can die without ever hearing Rolling Stones or Zeppelin again I can die happy. Well, maybe except for Levee Breaks. And OK Paint It Black.

    It’s easy: he wants to continue railing against her.  All he has is rhetoric and his thug-baiting since the facts are not something he is connected with.  He will get the most out of this he can.

    @Jackie: Haven’t seen a challenger lose that badly since Bill and Opus running on the Meadow Party ticket in 1988.
