1. On what grounds. Enough of this bullshit

[Nevilledog]

4. This one is asking for a new election because of drop boxes

[Cha]

11. Thanks.

23. Illiteracy is a major problem in this country

Constitution Article II Section I Clause 4

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

3 USC 1

The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.

24. They took their sweet time filing

WEC sent out drop-box guidance in mid-August

25. Wisconsin Constitution Article IV Section 28

Members of the legislature, and all officers, executive and judicial .. take .. an oath .. to support the constitution of the United States and .. of Wisconsin ...

2. Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results

Einstein didn't say it but it doesn't take an atomic scientist to see that republicans are dumbshits completely stuck on stupid. It's time for the judges to start handing out some substantial penalties for this insanity.

3. Yes, yes they are

dumbshits, that's it exactly.

[Joinfortmill]

5. Never ending BS.

[Initech]

6. Oh fuck off, douchebags.

Trump lost and he keeps losing like the loser that he is!

[napi21]

7. DT's pushing this to the SCOTUS because he thinks since he put 3 of them on the

court, they'll side with him! He's in for a surprise though. Respomsible people actually do their job & don't just side with somebody because of what he views as a favor.

14. I'm not sure I'd consider the majority of current Justices to be "responsible people"...

...as evidenced by Wednesday's decision ruling that "religious FREEEEEEEEEEEDUMB!!!" takes precedence over the public health.

[dragonlady]

17. The case mentioned here is in the Wisconsin Supreme Court

Four Republicans and three Democrats. I don't expect the Republicans will go for this argument, even though they usually are pretty partisan.

[vollehosen]

19. And they are all elected judges

Not appointed.

[Progressive Jones]

8. Another game that will end in the "Loss" column. nt

[love_katz]

9. The Republiturds have been treating us all like a battered wife.

I am so looking forward to the restraining order being issued on inauguration day.

10. They don't give up, do they?

[Cha]

12. Bitter Whiny Losers couldn't Cheat their

way in Before the Election with Voter Suppression through the USPS & any Which Way.. So they're Throwing Shit against the Wall After the Election is OVER!

[triron]

18. I don't understnd why judges are even entertaining this BS.

Throw out a few fines already.

[regnaD kciN]

15. What's the current makeup of the Supreme Court up there...?

As I recall, for a long time, it had a highly partisan Republican majority. Has that changed?

[dsc]

16. I think it is down to a 4 to 3 majority in the GOP favor

it was as high as 6 to 1 not all that long ago.

[tanyev]

21. Next!

[sunonmars]

22. They asked for a recount, got it, lost it and still moaning like a little bitch
