'The people have spoken': Federal judge rejects ex-Trump attorney Sidney Powell's Michigan election lawsuit

A Michigan federal judge has ruled against a sweeping legal bid to overturn election results in the state, determining the lawsuit brought by an ally of President Donald Trump was riddled with "theories, conjecture and speculation" but little evidence of wrongdoing.
U.S. District Judge Linda V. Parker ruled against a request from Sidney Powell – an attorney disavowed by the Trump campaign who still champions its causes – to force the state to award its electoral votes to Trump despite President-elect Joe Biden winning Michigan by nearly 155,000 votes.
"In fact, this lawsuit seems to be less about achieving the relief Plaintiffs seek – as much of that relief is beyond the power of this Court – and more about the impact of their allegations on People’s faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government," reads a portion of the 36-page opinion.
"Plaintiffs ask this Court to ignore the orderly statutory scheme established to challenge elections and to ignore the will of millions of voters. This the Court cannot, and will not, do. The people have spoken."
This is the latest in a series of legal flops from the Trump campaign or supporters. Judges throughout Michigan and the U.S have rejected their claims, noting there is no evidence of widespread fraud.
In this specific case, Powell and her team relied on a series of allegations that in large part focused on Detroit. Some of those allegations mirror ones made during a recent legislative hearing, where Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani questioned his own witnesses as lawmakers watched.
Among the series of debunked or discredited theories in the lawsuit is one that ballot tabulating software crafted by confederates of deceased Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez helped further a massive international conspiracy against Trump, carried out in Michigan and other swing states in order to secure Biden's victory.
The lawsuit's allegations did not warrant intervention by the court, Parker said.
"The closest plaintiffs get to alleging that election machines and software changed votes for President Trump to Vice President Biden in Wayne County is an amalgamation of theories, conjecture and speculation that such alterations were possible," the ruling states.
Gregory Rohl, a Michigan attorney working with Powell, said he needed to meet with his team before they would rule out an appeal.
On Dec. 14, the 16 Michigan delegates to the Electoral College will meet and cast their votes for Biden. He assumes the presidency in January 2021.
Yet , trump and his supporters will continue their baseless, fact-less, and evidence-free whining

Unfortunately, those VNese cuồng Chump ARE still blindly and worship him to the max which INSULTED to my intelligent. So ashamed of them.
Trump , the self proclaimed " Law and Order President " , wants Georgia state elector representatives to disregard the will of the people and the state ( also National ) Constitution by naming him, Trump , as the next President instead of following the vote result ( as they were sworn to when they took office and Trump himself sworn to UPHOLD the US Constitution ) .
If this is NOT the behavior of a DICTATOR , a TOTAL AUTHORITARIAN , a COMMUNIST , then I don't know what can be called . No evidence ( per the Government Cyber Chief and the US Attorney General ) has been found . No court has decided the merit of any law suits ... yet Trump wants the law to be ignored ...
Trump đâu ghét cộng sản khi trump đang có tu* cách như thằng cộng sản hồ chí minh . Such as good " law and order president " that US currently has .

Keep watching those stupid VNese Youtube (easy money maker for those who make those clips) and believe whatever conspiracies they said. I am so sorry and sad to learn that you (VNese hải ngoại cuồng Trump) have a brain small like a bean
THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT .... we live in a democratic , lawful society and not in a communist country like China, Russia , or VN ... Trump is fully aware , yet he is NOT willing to denounce this type of language and potential violence ... His lawyer actually encourage someone to shoot the Government Cyber Chief , Mr. Krebs ..

The Arizona Republican Party ignited backlash on Tuesday after firing off a pair of tweets that appeared to encourage President Donald Trump’s supporters to give their lives as part of an effort to overturn the election results.
The controversy started late Monday when the group retweeted Ali Alexander, a leader of “Stop the Steal” ― a movement that embraces the debunked conspiracy theory that there was widespread election fraud and that Trump, not Democrat Joe Biden, actually won the contest.
“I am willing to give my life for this fight,” Alexander wrote in the tweet, which the Arizona GOP shared with its more than 61,000 Twitter followers.
“He is,” Arizona GOP added in their retweet. “Are you?”
About an hour later, the Arizona GOP tweeted a clip from the 2008 film “Rambo” in which the titular character issues a call to action to soldiers: “This is what we do, who we are. Live for nothing, or die for something.”
The “Rambo” tweet was removed late Tuesday morning after racking up hundreds of thousands of views. Zachary Henry, a spokesman for the Arizona GOP, cited “concerns about copyright and fair use law” when asked about its removal.
“The Republican Party of Arizona condemns all forms of violence in the strongest terms,” Henry said. “Fictional movie scenes should be weighed in their proper context.”
He did not respond to a request for comment about what the Arizona GOP meant when it asked if people were willing to give their lives for “Stop the Steal” and whether the pair of tweets could be viewed as encouraging violence.
“If some random yahoo in AZ kills somebody in the name of Trump staying in office, will Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward be charged as an accessory?” tweeted Philadelphia Inquirer opinion columnist Will Bunch.
Elections officials, Democrats and some Republican lawmakers have urged Trump and his allies to stop spreading lies about the election results and tone down their divisive rhetoric, warning that such remarks could lead to violence.
“It has to stop. Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language,” Gabriel Sterling, a Republican and the voting implementation manager in the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, said during a press conference last week.
“Stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence,” Sterling continued. “Someone’s going to get hurt, someone’s going to get shot, someone’s going to get killed. And it’s not right.”
Trump and his supporters in the “Stop the Steal” movement have baselessly claimed Democrats “rigged” the election against Trump. Election officials nationwide, including Republicans, have rejected such claims. The Justice Department ― headed by Trump appointee Attorney General William Barr ― has also dismissed allegations of widespread fraud.
DONE , FINISHED , ADIOS, BYE-BYE, GO AWAY
(AP) The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, 11 December, rejected a lawsuit brought by the state of Texas that sought to overturn the results of the presidential election by invalidating millions of votes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin.
The lawsuit, which was joined by 17 states President Trump won in 2020, asked the court to allow the legislatures in the battleground states where the Trump campaign is contesting the results to appoint new electors. But the court declined to take up the case, delivering what may be the death knell to Trump’s reelection fight.
In a decision issued Friday evening, the court denied the complaint for “lack of standing,” meaning Texas did not succeed in showing that it has a vested interest in the manner in which other states conduct elections.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, filed the Dec. 7 complaint against the states, which had certified Joe Biden as the winner, alleging multiple baseless claims. Those allegations — such as widespread voting irregularities and the unsubstantiated claim that Biden’s lead in those states is statistically improbable, specifically, a less than “one in quadrillion” chance — had already been the basis for numerous unsuccessful state and federal lawsuits.
Several parties filed briefs supporting the complaint, including 18 Republican attorneys general, and Ohio, which filed a brief asking the court to render a ruling but said it does not support either side. Trump filed a motion to intervene on Dec. 9.
The brief did not appear to mention the unsubstantiated bad-faith allegations that have been pushed by dozens of unsuccessful lawsuits. No credible evidence of systematic, widespread voter fraud or of a Democratic-run scheme to steal an election has been presented in any case.
Not all Republican lawmakers supported the complaint. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said in a statement after Friday’s ruling that “since election night, a lot of people have been confusing voters by spinning Kenyan Birther-type, ‘Chavez rigged the election from the grave’ conspiracy theories, but every American who cares about the rule of law should take comfort that the Supreme Court — including all three of President Trump’s picks — closed the book on the nonsense.”
In the Supreme Court decision, Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, who were appointed by Republican presidents, both said they would have granted the motion to file the complaint “but would not grant other relief” because they believe the court does not have the discretion to deny the filing of a complaint that falls within the court’s jurisdiction.
The ruling comes just days before the state’s electors are scheduled to meet in their respective states on Dec. 14.
