I think this is the one where Judge Ho just declared that mail in ballots lead to fraud as if that’s an established and irrefutable fact.

This could be good or really bad right? I like that they’re reviewing an insane decision but could also just extend a bad rule nationwide?

I agree with you but isn’t there a sliver of hope that they’re reviewing a decision that came out the wrong way?

Two prosecutors are now going to have to deal with the question, “wait aren’t you the guys who lost the sandwich case?” for the rest of their lives.

My version of this is that I have never seen a take by Megan McArdle that wasn't one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

Interesting point. I think federal misdemeanors are going to come up a lot in districts that have a lot of federal land, so I assume DC would be such a place. But as you say, that doesn't mean the appeals court writes published decisions on them that often.

Yeah, it's too clear that he's technically guilty under the law too. Idk if it's required, but my assumption was that it's easier to prove malicious prosecution when the evidence itself is very weak.

Oh I agree. I would prefer it. But I also have the view that nullification is ok, which some would say is radical. Though it's tricky bc nullification has also been used for evil historically, too.

The issue is this is probably a nullification case bc i think he is arguably guilty under the law. The fact that the jurors are taking this so seriously is a warning sign to me in terms of the outcome.

Agreed. It’s tricky bc it’s obviously only right that the MQD should apply to both Biden and Trump but as you say, that requires conceding that the MQD is a valid thing in the first place.
