(Sorry, had to pause in the midst of this thread).

The Elias Group did something clever and amusing. They filed both clean and a redlined copies of their proposed amended complaint. The Roberts Six ignored the fact that USPS had issued a final ruling on Friday — before the Six said Monday that that USPS had not acted definitively! The redlined version indicates how disingenuous the Six were. All that had to be added to the introduction is one short paragraph. 4/

As detailed below, Defendants have taken swift action to implement the President's commands. The Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") and United States Customs and Immigration Service ("USCIS") have taken steps to develop a mechanism whereby states can access sensitive voter data compiled from numerous federal agencies and databases, threatening imminent (if not ongoing) privacy-related injuries.

The day after the Roberts Six said there was not yet any injury to sue over, both groups of plaintiffs submitted amended complaints showing just how poised the Trump regime was to inflict injury. Gives the lie to the Six’s claims that there was no reason to believe that Trump was about to implement his unconstitutional plans to interfere with the elections. This was ridiculous b.s. and we all knew it, but these amended complaints call the b.s. 5/

@emenel @leon_p_smith @mxchara @chx @haihappen @passenger right, but you seemed to be claiming a causal link with "he is the one who brought these ideas to thiel, yarvin, etc in the 90’s. they’re essentially land’s acolytes."

yarvin got his ideas from existing fascist soup as far as I can tell, as did thiel and sacks..

@HailsandAles man, I feel this.

I wanted nothing to do with sports my entire life. Then I accidentally became a footy coach for one of my kids. Then a second. And a third.

Along the way I was a passionate fan for so many years. Middle-of-the-night World Cup matches and all.

I became disenfranchised by FIFA. They just chipping away at everything that isn’t the beautiful game itself. Then that bled into the game. Finally, the fascism support.

So, now, I tapped out. It makes me sad. It was fun to watch (and coach/play).
