With Prejudice

By Hubie and Bertie

We cats are not lawyers, but it looks like a federal judge in Pennsylvania has simply torched Benedict Donald's legal gang and their bogus overturn-the-election lawsuit today.

"Defendants' motion to dismiss the first amended complaint is granted with prejudice." This means that the judge agreed with Kathy Boockvar, Secretary of the Commonwealth, who asked to have the flimsy case tossed. The judge not only granted her that, he said that Trump's case is so effing stupid, it can never be tried in court again.

Within a few hours of today's decision, Pennsylvania Republican Senator Pat Toomey declared that Trump has exhausted all legal options. "I congratulate President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on their victory," he said. See, was that so hard?

As for the rest of the Republican Senate, there have been predictions that more Toomey-esque statements will follow. We cats will believe it when we see it. But here's one way to put the pressure on: By our count, 19 of the 53 current Senate Republicans are lawyers. They need to be asked if they would willingly walk into a courtroom and argue these Trumpy cases — and if not, why not.

They need to be asked why they think Trump has lost 30 of these cases. 

And they need to be asked if each of the judges who has ruled against Benedict Donald — some of them Trump appointees — should be removed from the bench.

Even after January 20, if one of those clowns shows up on the Sunday shows, he/she should be asked questions like this. The damage that Trump is doing on his way out is immense, and Republicans who have been silently enabling it should be held to account. We cats HISS.
