It was one of his challenges to the 2020 election results. He was trying to argue fraud or something and SCOTUS said "lol yeah right" and declined to hear the case.

It continues to amaze me how he has one of the worst case records and yet people still represent him with his poo poo arguments.

That is true, but he will be appealing the decision to the Supreme Court, and that's his last chance. The court may decline to hear the case entirely which means the current ruling stands, but maybe not. It is unlikely they'll rule in his favor, but they can delay the case so all the other cases resting on whether or not has immunity will be unable to move forward.

Looks like the Mayorkas impeachment might die :kheldragar:

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/02/06/congress/tense-gop-meeting-on-mayorkas-00139824

quote:

House Republicans' high-stakes effort to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas seems to be on the verge of collapse.

The House is currently scheduled to vote later Tuesday to recommend removing the Homeland Security secretary from office over breach of trust and refusing to comply with the law, which would make him the first Cabinet official since 1876 to be impeached. But with incredibly thin margins, a couple GOP “no” votes and absences, House Republicans can’t afford to lose any more members of their own party, if all Democrats vote and are united in opposition.


Confidence they can successfully clear that bar is plummeting. As they left a closed-door conference meeting Tuesday morning, five GOP lawmakers expressed doubt that Speaker Mike Johnson would move forward with the vote or that Republicans have the support they need. Those Republicans cited the two GOP “no” votes from Reps. Tom McClintock (Calif.) and Ken Buck (Colo.), as well as a handful of others who remain publicly undecided and privately skeptical.

If the vote does implode, striking out House Republicans’ most aggressive swing against the Biden administration to date, it would certainly frustrate a conservative base that is highly energized about the border. And it would be the latest — and potentially most high-profile — setback for Johnson, who is already facing growing frustration from his right flank.

“Apparently there’s some folks that are unhappy about it. … I think the common thought was that we were going to vote when we walked in there, but I don’t know now,” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.). “It’s just very close right now.”

Just hours before the vote, several Republicans remain publicly undecided. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) told his colleagues in the private meeting that he didn’t think the accusations against Mayorkas met the Constitution’s bar for impeachment, according to four lawmakers in the meeting. On Monday, Gallagher declined to say how he was voting or even which way he was leaning, telling POLITICO: “I’m not going to tell you.”

“He’s raising objections,” Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said of Gallagher in a brief interview after Tuesday’s meeting.

In addition to the Wisconsinite, Republicans are facing a handful of other publicly undecided GOP lawmakers, including Reps. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), David Joyce (R-Ohio) and Maria Salazar (R-Fla.).

Johnson told reporters that he spoke with both Gallagher and McClintock on Tuesday morning about their views on impeachment, but the speaker stood by the push to impeach Mayorkas.

“There is no other measure for Congress to take but this one,” Johnson told reporters after the GOP meeting. “It’s an extreme measure, but extreme times call for extreme measures.”

Shortly before Johnson spoke to the press, McClintock released a lengthy letter to his colleagues arguing that Republicans were trying to stretch the definition of an impeachable offense — in a way that could backfire the next time Democrats control the House.

“Do Republicans really wish to establish an expansive view of impeachment that will surely be turned against conservatives on the Supreme Court or a future Republican president if Congress changes hands?” he wrote.

Those views clashed with the case Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) made to his GOP colleagues in the private conference meeting. At one point, Green called Mayorkas a “reptile with no balls” because he has not resigned, according to two Republicans who were in the room.

Green also acknowledged that they were still working to try to lock down enough Republican support, telling reporters “we’ll see pretty soon” if they can get there. He had projected confidence last week that Republicans had the votes.

And it’s not just Mayorkas impeachment dividing the fractured House Republican conference this week. GOP leaders also discussed Johnson’s new plan to pass a clean Israel aid bill without spending cuts elsewhere, which got pushback by some conservatives like House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good (R-Va.).

While not all members in the rebellious group agree, one House Republican – speaking about the closed-door meeting on the condition of anonymity – observed a “surprising amount of pushback on the Israel funding.”

Others defended Johnson’s plan, arguing it was the best way forward after it became clear a border-foreign aid deal is on life support with Republicans on both sides of the Capitol.

“The speaker wanted offsets before this. This is the same Mike Johnson but he recognizes that in order to get this bill passed, we need it as a clean bill,” said Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).

“To be candid, he talked about the offsets we can get in other bills and the recognition that we would be playing politics if we weren’t willing to do a straight vote on this,” Issa added, arguing that now Biden is playing politics with Israel aid.

It depends on what you mean by conviction I guess. Even if the trial moves fast and resolves in under 3 months he will have appeals that go all the way up to the Supreme Court most likely. It will take months after the trial for the conviction to be settled. He isn't going to jail before the election.

i think they punt that because its the easiest thing to do, it gives them respectiblity and cover(it was bipartisan unanimous ruling) and most of them just want trump to gently caress off for various reasons. i think they might "sorta" rule for him with colorado but even thats a coin toss.

He'll appeal any conviction from prison or whatever the sentence is decided. I think.

You don't get to stay out of jail for murder, for example, because you're appealing it.

My wife attended the show in Pittsburgh, and I was lazing about the city that same day to see that people were standing across the drat river, looking at the football stadium, dressed up in fancy outfits not-unlike what Taylor Swift wears in her countless videos. You could maybe hear echos of her songs, and there were kids and adults, women and men, looking across to where she was singing, all in adoration.

To think these dumb GOP jerks want to start a war with a pop star that powerful, holy fuckin' lmao. Good luck, Trump, you're screwing with a lady who earned her fame through dedication to her fans and her work, and you earned yours through racism and idiocy. Let's see who wins!

I would say that's normally a pretty fair point but I would also say normally if you steal the most sensitive secrets our country has from a scif and try to show them to foreign agents you don't get to campaign for president outside of a jail cell while awaiting trial. I'm not a lawyer so some one can probably tell me why these things are different but it seems like he gets a different set of rules because he was a former president and the front-runner for the GOP.
