The minority opinion is some of the biggest garbage I have ever seen. It simply ignores that the DOJ chose to wait for months, until votes were being counted, to file this action.

Unlikely on the former, probably on the latter but also unlikely for SCOTUS to grant *cert*. More generally, appeals from here are up to the courts to decide if they care, and they can quietly punt it and they're almost certainly going to do so.

Bumatay is a FedSoc clown who is going to spend his entire career auditioning for advancement just like James Ho has.

wait aren't they just saying "we won't rule on this yet it has to go through the system"? or am I understanding this wrong.

And by midnight Trump will start using this decision to kick off his claims of election fraud and widespread cheating. ⏰

I don't like that it's 2-1. It should have been 3-0. 😠

*snicker*

Knew Bumatay was going to be a problem.

At what point do these attempts to disenfranchise voters become characterized as a crime? Seriously... enough already.

should've been 3-0

A DOJ with a competent and smart AG would have never filed this complaint. blanche is neither competent or smart. Stop saying he's smart.

The tell is Bennett. A judge Trump himself appointed looked at DOJ's faulty list and still voted to throw the case out. When your voter purge cannot survive your own side's judge, the list was never the problem. The intent was.

Nice.

Cuz that one guy is HARD right zombie level. The scariest thing about these cases is they just need one win to punch a big hole in democracy that will wreak immense havoc for a very long time. It’s scary af.

The fact that it wasn’t unanimous should worry people.

Absolutely astonishing to see the first openly gay Filipino judge be such a sell out to the government pulling illegal/unconstitutional shit. Not the legacy I'd ever want. Traitorous... Lifetime appointment, too. 😏

Bumatay is a chicken.

Everything they do is "faulty" so no surprise.

How crazy that Bumatay thinks there is merit to this bullshit.

Suck it, DOJ!

The context here is that DoJ appealed a denial of a TRO before the district judge had even denied their request. Or, more precisely, they appealed the date he set for a hearing -- which isn't appealable. Whole thing was fucking absurd.

Any judge that sides with the regime by trying to allow disenfranchisement & vote stealing, along with trying to strip states of their right to run elections needs to be IMPEACHED!

Dear Judge Bumatay: see Nevada. These DOJ stunts are just nuisance fishing expeditions to try to foster even more electoral distrust among Trump’s base and hopefully make them decide to go vote.

9th Circuit dismissed this 'emergency appeal' only. This case goes back to the trial court for a TRO hearing on the merits tomorrow, 10/27, which DOJ will likely lose. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Where my Ho heads at?

So two of the judges know they lack jurisdiction but the Trumpf apologist can't help but try to aid and abet........

How in the hell could a single judge on Earth 1 be in the minority on this decision? They must be unfamiliar with the US Constitution

He'll be impeached.

I guarantee it.

Somewhat concerning it wasn't 3-0.
