For two months we've been feted with snarky Jabs noting #typographical and #othererrors in #electionchallenge lawsuits.

You know, #mistakes?

What wasn't a mistake?

It wasn't a #mistake when @TheJusticeDept told a federal court that there were plans to capture and kill members of Congress during the incident at Capitol Hill.

That wasn't a "spacebar" instead of a "comma."

That was a process:

examine evidence
review charging standards
frame thought
formulate words
enter words on keyboard.

This was a whole freaking sentence filled with words; words filled with meaning; meaning expressing intent.

And now, with the #accusation #imprintedindelibly on the record of #humanmemory, only after the damage has been done, @TheJusticeDept has asked a court to strike its words from paper.

Now that they have already spoiled the jury pool of the United States.

Now that they have fueled the left from indignancy at the trespass to the People's House to justifiable rage at a murderous coup

Now that the Democrats in Congress have defecated on the Constitution by their second impeachment of Donald Trump.

Now that anger, anxiety, and anguish are peaking in our neighborhoods and cities because of the inflammatory nature of "official" (but false) allegations about conduct.

Now they wish they hadn't said the words because they're not true?

Last I heard, lying to a Court is a crime.

For an attorney, this conduct was a grotesque ethical failure almost certainly warranting disbarment.

Is there any clause of the Constitution that is insignificant? Meaningless? Without purpose?

Studying for the bar exam, it is a well-regarded saw that, on the multi-state bar exam, whenever one of the multiple-choice answers given is "The Republican Form of Government Clause" that choice is always ***wrong***.

Yes, there are tricks and tips for simplifying the task of passing the bar's multiple-choice component. One trick or tip is just that: "The Republican Form of Government Clause is never a correct answer."

BREAKING NEWS: Sidney Powell's Michigan Case Now on #SCOTUS docket.

UMMMMMMM, Not Really Breaking News.

Every year, between 7 and 10 thousand petitions seeking review by the Justices of the Supreme Court are filed. The vast bulk of those petitions are prisoner cases.

About 3 thousand, "private paid" cases are filed by attorneys working for paying clients.

Out of the nearly 10,000 requests each year, #SCOTUS usually takes between 70 and 90 cases for full briefing and argument, or fewer than 5-6% of requests.

So, what makes a case more likely to garner the interest of enough justices to earn a grant, full briefing, and argument?

#Gaslighting alert:

You may come across bot-amplified activists pitching the idea that #Republicans have been packing the Courts for years, and therefore, hypocritically object to Democratic Party machinations to inflict #courtpacking on America if Kamala Harris and her running mate are elected.

So, is it true, have "Republicans been packing" the Courts for decades?

Well, let's start by agreeing that this, or any, conversation is pointless unless we share a common language. If you think so, then ...

There's #gaslighting afoot, and it's the #torchsong of Sad Sack @DanRather:

#Dan, you're nearly old enough to remember actual #courtpacking, the #FDR proposal to add justices to the court, increasing the total number of justices on a formula related to justices turning 70.

For those who prefer to learn facts of what actually was proposed as #courtpacking, just @Google, @Bing, or @DuckDuckGo the term.

Here's a hint: #Dan is caught in another lie of his own manufacture.

Hitler rose to power.

Along with him, fortuitous and insightful folks took advantage of his rise, tied, but not too closely, their futures to his immediate German successes, and made real differences in their own fortunes by doing so.
#bidenboostfromnazipublisher

A case in point would be #GeorgvonHolzbrinck, who, prior to seeing the advantages of servicing the publication needs of the #ThirdReich, scrabbled for a living selling books door to door.

But not one to miss the opportunity that supporting Nazism at home presented him, he built a publishing empire that has stood the test of time better than the Third Reich that funded the rise of his publication house.

Nazi German publishing house endorses @JoeBiden.

That headline isn't the one screaming out across #Twitter.

Instead, we have the #lilywhite "@sciam endorses #Biden, a first in its 150 year history."

But the correct news of the day on #ScientificAmerican endorsing #Biden is this:

A company that was founded in the USA and was suffering financially was purchased by a German publishing house, and placed with that publishing house's @SpringerNature division.

But the true truth is that #HoltzbrinckPublishing grew up with and in and supporting the #ThirdReich.
