  Welp, the damage had been done. Get ready for another 200+ years of these sore loser dipshits filing lawsuits every time something doesn’t go their way. This is what happens when this type of trash is coddled, never told no, but constantly told they are the “best at everything ever…”
context: “The Court cannot accept speculation or conjecture in place of clear and convincing evidence,” Thompson said.
  
  That's what we like to hear. >
  
  The court should censure her lawyers for even bringing the case without any actual evidence of wrongdoing. >
  
  A lawyer is required to investigate a case BEFORE filing it to ensure that there is a reasonable basis to bring suit. If the filing is found to be frivolous then the lawyer can be sanctioned (like Trump’s lawyers were). >
  
  
  Only if the state has anti SLAPP suit laws.
  
  Nope, not true. Attorneys have a duty to not file frivolous lawsuits just like /u/GotYourNose_ said. Anti-SLAPP laws let you move to dismiss a lawsuit without getting into discovery under certain circumstances. They're separate rules >
  
  Weird how the "everyone gets a participation trophy these days"/"facts don't care about your feelings" crowd are the sorest losers of them all. >
  
  "Facts don't care about your feelings."  The pronoun is not first-person. >
  
  whoa whoa whoa, ain't nobody using no pronouns around here >
  
  “They’re bringing pronouns into our military, they’re bringing woke-ness into our military—I don’t even know what the heck is a pronoun. I can tell you that I’m sick and tired of this pronoun stuff. What I want our military men and women to do is to be at war fighting.”

  It's sad that I can't tell if this is real or satire anymore. >
  
  Trust me, a full speech from him is horrifyingly real. >
  
  And yet 49% thought this numbnuts was worth holding office. >
  
  Exactly. Reflections on George Carlin aside, I want a serious discussion on why 49 percent of Georgia voters feel justified in putting an inarticulate, concussed token prop in charge of national legislation from their state.
  Or are these all of the voters whose idea of democracy doesn't extend anywhere beyond a football game--where my team rules and your team cheats? >
  
  
  I want a serious discussion on why 49 percent of Georgia voters feel justified in putting an inarticulate, concussed token prop in charge of national legislation from their state.
  
  And a discussion about why roughly 45% of GA voters did not, in fact, vote. >
  
  The 49% that voted for him is disgusting. 
  But the 45% that couldn't even be bothered to vote...that's just sad. I'd love to see a breakdown of those 45%. Demographics, income, etc. >
  
  Lmao all I saw a few days ago was "HAHAHAH KARI LAKE IS GOING TO COURT EAT SHIT LIBS" from the trump and conservative subs. I guess it's going to be crickets now.
  ​
  EDIT: Lmao someone got mad and sent a reddit cares. My very first one, it's like I'm finally a big girl. >
  
  Copy the link to the Reddit cares message and report it, Reddit has started dropping 1-2 month bans on people who abuse it >
  
  Good such a weird way to be malicious >
  
  Their tiny brains can't concoct a cogent rebuttal to something that made them profoundly butthurt so they do the only other thing left to a coward - get somebody else to mildly inconvenience the person for them and then giggle with glee over their idiot master plan.
  Fucking smooth brain cowards. >
  
  How is it an inconvenience? Maybe I'm just easily amused, but every time I check a notification and realize I pissed off some right-wing nutjob, I get a giggle out of it. >
  
  I got one for using the gif reversal bot to reverse a gif of a woman pulling down her yoga pants on a NSFW sub, so it looked hilarious like she was fighting them. 
  I’m not really sure why I got one for that, but fair I guess. >
  
  That's so weird. I wonder if it had anything to do with the gif itself? What gif was it?? >
  
  What a shocker. Now make her pay court costs for this frivolous use of courts to get press attention. >
  
  It's time for her lawyers to be sanctioned for bringing a frivolous suit they didn't have the evidence to support. Sanctions! >
  
  Are sanctions resume builders? >
  
  Anyone else notice the one year old troll accounts regurgitating far right nonsense are absent in all the posts reporting this court ruling. >
  
  Thwy haven't received their orders yet, give it a few hours >
  
  They mostly come out at night. Mostly. >
  
  When I see this quote I always read it in the Cartman voice >
  
  In case some people aren't aware, this is originally from Aliens. I'm assuming most people know that, but you can never tell with any movie that came out before 1990. >

  I was looking for some reason not to join my wife at the mall, so I decided to stay home and read the decision instead. Here are some key quotes:
  
  "... this Court’s duty is not solely to incline an ear to public outcry. It is to subject
   Plaintiff’s claims and Defendants’ actions to the light of the courtroom and scrutiny of the law."
  Lake argued that printer errors impacted the vote.  "Plaintiff’s own expert acknowledged that a ballot that was unable to be read at the vote center could be deposited by a voter, duplicated by a bipartisan board onto a readable ballot, and – in the final analysis – counted. Thus, Plaintiff’s expert on this point admitted that the voters who suffered from tabulator rejections would nevertheless have their votes counted. ... printer failures did not actually affect the results of the election."
  Lake argued that issues at polling sites caused voters to choose not to vote.  But Lake's own polling expert "admitted at Trial that 'nobody can give a specific number' of voters who were put off from voting on Election Day" because of long lines or printer or tabulator errors.  ... "No election in Arizona has ever been set aside, no result modified, because of a statistical estimate" ...  ".... election contests are decided by votes, not by polling responses."
  "Every one of [Lake's] witnesses – and for that matter, Defendants’ witnesses as well – was asked about any personal knowledge of both intentional misconduct and intentional misconduct directed to impact the 2022 General Election. Every single witness before the Court disclaimed any personal knowledge of such misconduct. The Court cannot accept speculation or conjecture in place of clear and convincing evidence." >
  
  You did all this just to not go to the mall?  Just take noise cancelling headphones and chill out by a Wetzel pretzels.  You can people watch and still share the car ride home to talk about all things she found and wants to bring to your home, design ideas, new hats.....
  ....on second thought, maybe I'm the one who's doing it wrong? >

  Any reason you prefer the pretzel place?  I would have just said "near the food court" but you seem to be curiously laser-focused.
  Disclaimer: I've never had a Wetzel pretzel. >
  
  We can look at a variety of factors but the main selling point to me is:
  I'm a fat guy who likes jalapeno/cheese pretzel dogs dipped in nacho cheese.  It's what I know and love >
  
  So basically…you’re waiting for your people? >
  
  Was she seriously expecting to win, or just did it for the drama? It feels like a lot of MAGA politicians treat elections more like a reality show than a government. >
  
  Roy Cohn, Joseph McCarthy's lawyer during all the red scare stuff, was fond of saying "don't tell me what the law is, tell me who the judge is".
  I assume these people know it's pretty futile but can hold on to some hope that they get a sympathetic judge. Sort of like how Trump seemed to hold on to hope that Pence and enough senators would give him the election despite the vote.
  It can get a bit tricky when people in power don't do what they are supposed to and just do whatever they want but that's the kind of chaos they are looking for. >
  
  Roy Cohn, not coincidentally, also went on to be a mentor to none other than Donald Trump and taught him all of his dirty tricks. History rhymes. >
