[conspire] A personal best for the crazy (the route to Jan. 20th)

[Deirdre Saoirse Moen]

The Sidney Powell filed ones are the most amusing, especially when live-tweeted while reading. This one is more coherent than most:

Speaking of, I gotta hand it to Pamela Pepper, the judge in Wisconsin who got one of them.

It contains this gem:

“In this court’s experience it is unusual for a party seeking the extraordinary remedy of preliminary injunctive relief to ask the court to issue a decision on the pleadings, without presentation of evidence or argument. But because that is what the plaintiff—the movant—has asked, the court will rule on the pleadings.”

That translates to: you are gonna lose SO HARD.

Because pleadings aren’t evidence, they’re factual allegations, and for the extraordinary remedy they’re seeking, their evidence burden is high. So, no evidence, no bueno.

But…we’re talking about the filings that are actually legible and readable. Not all of them have been.


Then there’s this one, which met a law clerk with a spacebar phobia:
