In reply to PaulM.

As for reposting the update in the comments, don’t sweat the small stuff. I’ve missed the updates of others “once or twice”. :-)

The problem (for us) is that given who gets to choose the ~~judge~~ Lawgiver-In-Black for the initial judicial appeal, she won’t lose there, and given where an appeal out of that kangaroo court goes, Prosser won’t win on appeal.

The problem (for her) is that in order to win in the kangaroo court, that Lawgiver-In-Black would need to wantonly violate the Due Process clause of the Constitution. The federal courts don’t exactly take kindly to that; after all, the Supreme Court ultimately stopped the attempted theft of the 2000 Florida Presidential election on precisely those grounds.

Regardless of the status of the recount or judicial appeal, Prosser is a Supreme Court justice through July 31, so except for this case, he would not need to recuse himself because of the recount or judicial appeal of same. It’s only if Kloppenburg were able to extend the post-election appeals beyond July 31 that there would be an automatic 3-3 deadlock on the Supreme Court.

BTW – her previous answer to ‘what kind of anomalies ?’ was “We have a spreadsheet that shows the patterns in this election don’t look like previous SC elections”.

Well, NO SHIT, lady ! This one was turned into a statewide and national referendum on Guv Walker, unions in general, and Republicans in general, BY YOUR SIDE ! Unlike ANY previous SC election.

YEH, it’s gonna ‘look different’ ? This was known months in advance, by all sides.

But she’ll take it to court, I betcha ….

Then to appeal when she loses ….

She hopes to keep Prosser ‘unable to act while his election is in question’ for just as many months, days, and hours as she possibly can. While she hopes the Sumi thang gets up there, and maybe ties 3-3 in the unions favor.

And Kloppy has started laying the groundwork for an eventual court challenge to the recall already

JoAnne Kloppenburg’s campaign manager says the first two days of the recount in the state Supreme Court race have tuned up a number of “anomalies” that warrant further review.

How much you wanna bet she won’t ??? I bet she will !
