And laches means you waited to long to proclaim injury @The Mongler
Yeah I get that part
In the PA case the gop started a process they did not finish @The Mongler Then had a election under those rules and waited only till they lost the general election to complain about something they never finished a year ago
Is the court saying "yes this happened but you waited too long" or is it saying "you waited too long so we're not even going to look at it"
So to make up for their incompetence they asked that the wining side have their votes revoked @The Mongler
It’s a pure hogwash lawsuit by the GOP in PA
@The Mongler it’s that they waited to long and they will not rule on it
Does that mean they were correct about the process being illegal
@The Mongler, you just advanced to level 3!
And to top it off they threw in a ridiculous remedy for their own mistake @The Mongler
Im just using that as an example for laches in general
@The Mongler they were correct that they never finished the process so on a procedural technicality alone they were right. However this was not a fraud case and the remedy they asked for was pure hackery partisanship
Gotcha
@The Mongler they were right to dismiss it on laches , again because they knew about this for a year and had a election under it. They only complained when the lost
So generally when there is a dismissal for laches the merit is sound
No @The Mongler
They dismissed it in addition to laches @The Mongler that doesn’t mean the merit is sound every time. It’s two different things. In the PA case they were technically right but that does mean this would hold true for every laches case. Do you see the ridiculousness of their lawsuit? I feel like conservatives will just run with the merits part without the full story of how garbage the lawsuit was
Creating a technicality and not doing anything about it for a year and then asking for a ridiculous remedy will get you thrown out of court every time
Yeah I just feel like if the case was fundamentally flawed the court would dismiss based on the facts/law rather than laches but I dont know a lot about it
No @The Mongler the case for as fundamentally flawed
The district court in PA ruled on the merits and suspended certification and then the SC dismissed for laches without any comments on the merits
You can’t revoke votes because of a issue you caused and had a year to fix, and had a election already prior to the general election under those same conditions @The Mongler
@The Mongler they were correct to do so . Laches fits the case. I know people like Barnes will say different but he basically works for the Trump team and does everything he can to bolster that side
However he is incorrect in this and is intentionally mis leading
@The Mongler here is a better understanding of laches
“statute of limitations is concerned only with the time that has passed. Laches is concerned with the reasonableness of the delay in a particular situation and so is more case-specific and more focused on the equitable conduct of the plaintiff.”
Merry Christmas all... wishing you and your family all the best. Adam.
That flies in the Face of your Standing Argument. How can you file prior to actual suffered Damages?
This is about laches
"Ripeness "?
It wasn’t about the injury it was about a incomplete process
They kept repeating that it wasn’t about the fact they lost
Had a Year to Fix?
Had a year to address
Are people still not understanding this very basic thing
Trump was not in prior Elections or was there Electors.
This lawsuit was not about trump
It was not about fraud
It was about a legal technicality
You still need to show Damages.
This is not about the Texas case
That was even dumber than the internal PA case
