Res, do you have a link to the original complaint by Team Trump, that this doc is responding to?

You bet: https://embed.documentcloud.org/documen ... =1&title=1

A couple of other tidbits. Several judges recused themselves from hearing this case. When Judge Middlebrooks was assigned, Trump moved to disqualify him. Shoppers gonna shop.

Also, after the Amended Complaint was filed, the judge issued a minute order saying that the defendants, if they chose, could rely on their motions to dismiss the original complaint, as they two were not substantially different.

The judge was a Clinton appointee,
So why does this result surprise you?
I'd guess that federal judges have had it with MAGA litigation nonsense, and it's sounding like more Americans feel the same.
If you're talking about voters and real poll numbers, that sure wasn't the case in the Virginia gubernatorial race. It will take a radical transformation of this country over the course of perhaps centuries in order for conservatives to once again get equal justice under the law.
The best part about this is waiting four years to see how all the crazy apocalyptic predictions made by the fear mongering idiots in Right Wing media turned out to be painfully wrong...Gasoline would hit $10/gallon. Hyperinflation would ensue.

Reading the paragraph you took this from, I don't see any indication that Res is surprised by the result?

Fun history:
The judge was confirmed by majority Republican Senate. A few notable names in the 105th Senate: Strom Thurmond, Orin Hatch, Ted Stevens, Thad Cochran, and Trent Lott.

Earlier today, I avoided reading this OP and save it for lunch so I could enjoy it with my cheesesteak. What a great idea that was.

This evening, I've reviewed a few news clips on the subject, and let me try to summarize an earth-shattering revelation. It turns out that this lawsuit was filed earlier in the year, in the wrong district, a district with a single federal judge, judge Aileen cannon. lol, wtf? Somehow, the case was sent elsewhere instead of to judge Aileen, to the judge who just ruled on the case but Trump had contested that -- earlier in the year of course -- under accusations of bias. The judge didn't relieve himself of duty, noting specifically that Trump didn't seem concerned about bias when he (revealing the fact noted above) filed the lawsuit in the wrong district, a district with one judge, Aileen Cannon, whom he appointed. lol.

Wonder what kinds of communication attempts have been made between Trump and Cannon. This definitely turns up the heat and hopefully scrutiny on Cannon.

Maybe the FBI will soon leak it to the mainstream from their fishing expedition at Mar a Lago. It just goes to show how politically biased the law has become. Maybe Hillary is right that we need a purge. We have no moral principles in common.

Confidential documents between Trump and his attorneys, Trump's taxes, and anything else the Dems in the upper echelon of the FBI can use to ridicule Republicans in November. They have to divert the attention of voters from gas prices, crime, inflation, taxes, open borders, school shutdowns, and the economy in general.
