Here we go. Trump is toast in PA. https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1332376449207201792

As I suggested it might be, this is a cold, clinical dismantling of the Trump campaign's claims and absurd legal strategy. Haven't yet finished the whole opinion, but it's a biting read.

An #AppellateTwitter side-note, Judge Bibas is a magnificent writer. Just wonderful. He uses all of those gifts here - so clear, so crisp.

Rudy's totally terrible oral argument has consequences

Indeed!

Rudy's litigation strategy - of only appealing the denial of leave to amend - comes a cropper (as all the lawyers following the case said)

Bibas's use of section headings to just flatly say the thing is very effective.

When you say it like that, not alleging anything and conceding all possible points *do* seem to be obstacles to winning this case

Judge Bibas also mentions the Trump campaigns ceaseless delays, which alone would be enough for them to lose (in my view, I don't know what the Court thinks)
