If I ever have to show up in court for a speeding ticket, I’ll use the same defense: “your honor, I am no longer speeding, so this case is moot.”

I dont know, but if something the size of stealing the election in the worlds most powerful nation can be "moot", ....

My guess is after they max out the fine they'll most likely tack a contempt charge on top and you'd spend a few nights in jail to boot.

From the article:

"Our nation is becoming ungovernable, because there is no reason for a thinking person to have any respect for our institutions like the FBI, The Justice Department, or our courts on any level."

If the Supreme Court does not uphold the Law, then the Law is MOOT!!!

"Your honor, I already reached my destination so how I got there doesn't matter."

I should have said, "how I got there is MOOT".

One might even phrase that at "At this point, what difference does it make?"

Just tell the Judge you have no standing in his courtroom.
