Kayleigh McEnany Reveals the ‘Single Most Important Document of 2020’ and Once Again She’s Lying

When you are in a hurry and need the Supreme Court to hand down a definitive ruling, it’s tough. One of the only ways to do it is to have one state sue another because the Constitution says that the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction on all suits with “State A v. State B.”

Well, team Trump is in a hurry and want that Supreme Court ruling. Thus it was that someone arranged to have Texas sue the big four, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Texas A.G. Ken Paxton filed it and said it’s the single most important document filed in the post-election season.

Kayleigh McEnany went on Sean Hannity to keep hope alive! With stupidity sauce! From Mediaite:

“This is all combined in a succinct, very well-sourced footnoted document where you have Supreme Court barred attorneys going before the Supreme Court saying these are the facts, these are the truths, we’ve separated fact from fiction and here it is. I would encourage everyone to read this document. It is big,” 

Hope, there is hope!!

Except, no, not really. This is actually worse than many of the lawsuits already filed and dismissed:

As Law&Crime reported earlier, a number of legal experts expressed serious doubts the Supreme Court would take up the Texas lawsuit, with one straight-up saying, “This is the dumbest case any lawyer has ever seen, and the Supreme Court won’t touch it. Really, this is the craziest case of them all. Unbelievable.”

Yeah, just because the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction doesn’t mean they can’t dismiss it after a good laugh. Speaking of which:

McEnany claimed that “the Supreme Court could be taking a very hard look at this,” before pushing a baffling claim from the Texas lawsuit that “the probability of former Vice President Biden winning the popular vote in the four Defendant States — Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — independently given President Trump’s early lead in those States as of 3 a.m. on November 4, 2020, is less than one in a quadrillion.”

This is the United States Supreme Court. You do not put numbers like “less than one in a quadrillion” (so was it one in a quintillion?) unless you can show who did the math and whether that person can actually do math, or whether it juts sounds all badass and so they just threw it out there because no one else is going to do the math, either! Because if you do, you sound like a jackass, and one thing you don’t want to do in front of the SCOTUS is …

Hannity had a better rationale. How did Biden get more votes than Clinton and Obama when Biden didn’t draw many people to campaign events? Because that’s how we keep score, right? Campaign events? Don’t they count?

Curious! Proof? RALLIES!!!

Mail-in voting, it opens up the vote to people who normally can’t go in to vote. This is not a MENSA test.

Anyway, this suit will get tossed every bit as fast as all the others, perhaps faster. The conservative justices on the Supreme Court will want it gone the most, lest they have their name associated with it.

Peace, y’all
