Good Morning, Krakenologists. New action in the new Wisconsin tentacle.
And, yes. Somehow. Someway. Inconceivably.
It.
Got.

The short version is simple. The case was filed yesterday. A bunch of documents were filed yesterday. And Clearly Suffering Nothing Federal Judge Pamela Pepper read them this morning.
And was not pleased. She has immortalized her displeasure in writing.

The tl:dr is that it would appear that Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and the rest of their lunatics managed to get more things wrong while initiating a case than anyone should be able to possibly manage without making a conscious effort.
Let's dig in:

And I mean this is just --
I love the brutal simplicity of Judge Pepper's language. It's simple, but any lawyer on the receiving end of something like this who had any remaining self-regard would die of shame. And we're just starting out.

How, Sidney. Just how?

And they are not done.
It's as if they put together a checklist and then decided that a checklist with no boxes marked is just as good as one with every box marked.
Pro tip: it's not.

But wait! There's more!
They weren't content to ONLY screw up the initial filing in every conceivable way and several inconceivable ones. They decided to screw up their attempt to correct it, too.

Oh, baby, no....
No.
No.
what ARE YOU DOING?
No.
No.

For the nonlawyers:
This is not a thing you want to be saying to the judge. At all. Ever. Not even if it's true.

And if you DO mess up and file a draft, maybe make sure your "corrected" version isn't a total damn train wreck?
So Judge Pepper, who is clearly very unhappy with having three full rings of ladder-tripping, whitewash-slinging, nose-honking clowns running around her chambers, will clearly be handling this strictly by the book.
But wait - they screwed up even more.
So the current briefing schedule for the case is the standard one, under which the motion for emergency relief will be heard sometime in January.
Which is less than ideal for the plaintiffs, given that the electoral college sits in 12 days.

Pro Tip: Your emergency is not ever going to be the judge's emergency until you give good and persuasive reasons as to why this should be true. And do so in a procedurally appropriate way.
This is another very Orly Taitz thing to do. She always assumed that the judge should just read her filings, understand them, see the emergency, and do everything Orly wanted.
Wasn't how courts worked then. Still ain't.

But no problem - they can still get, maybe, an expedited schedule. They just need to do a whole lot of additional work first.
But I'm sure they won't have any trouble finding the right people from the various entities they're suing and getting them all conferenced in.

Seriously, this is an incandescently pissed off federal judge. With, to put it bluntly, very good reason.
This is the second federal judge they have seriously pissed off in less than 24 hours.

This isn't a case that is going well. It is a case that is more and more reminiscent of birther litigation.
