Most attorneys (barring public interest, non profit, etc.) make money by the simple concept of billable hours. That translates to I charge X amount per hour, and I bill by the 10th of an hour. Every 6 minutes is a 10th of an hour, and every second above that 6 minutes for work I do is another 10th of an hour. Glance at a text? That's a .1. Talk to you for seven minutes? That's a .2, etc.

That may not seem like much, but most courts have found it ethical for attorneys to charge pretty crazy hourly rates. $420 an hour for family law cases, and others charge thousands per hour for more high profile cases. And if you are doing anything, and I mean anything work related, you bill for it. For every time one of Trump's attorneys are making TV or media experiences, they are running the clock for travel, case review prior to the appearance, travel back home, taking notes, etc.

I was recently appalled by one of Trump's attorneys who filed an appeal in Michigan. The guy failed to file the most basic documents supporting an appeal and got his appeal kicked (though he can refile). There is no way someone gets through law school and gets to be a prominent attorney as he is without knowing that at the very least, you file the underlying judgment that you are appealing along with your request for appeal.

Now, many have jumped to the conclusion that the attorney is dumb or doesn't know the rules, but after some research on the guy, who happens to live in the city I just moved out of (St. Louis), I know that he is a fairly well respected attorney who has filed many appeals.

So why the deficiencies? Why get your appeal kicked? Easy, more billable hours. This guy billed god knows how many hours into Trump's legal defense fund and he knows he's getting paid. The Trump campaign is too busy dealing with big picture issues than to focus in on one of their many attorneys. This guy is banking on the fact that Trump will lose, and that all the shitty legal work he did will just be buried. And that's just one guy.

Then I see his other attorneys posting cryptic "Tick Tock" messages on Twitter, promising day after day that something is coming, while not producing actual, hard evidence. Why? They are billing. The longer they can drag this out the longer they can bill.

There's been a lot of talk here about good evidence, yet none of it seems to be presented in court. Why? These lawyers don't want to resolve this case, they want to drag it out, and they don't care about the outcome. They would rather Trump lose because of their negligence than see Trump win a swift, evidence based case.

So beware, and this is coming from someone who is an attorney, on what is in store for us.

First of all, this community is a lot of fun, it really is a 24/7 Trump rally, and I love that about it. Secondly, it is obvious now more than ever, that media companies, whether they be the MSM or smaller news sites and bloggers, all have one goal, and that is to make money, so please keep that in mind.

As an attorney, I have a certain view of the world and I have learned to be a realist in many ways. I have a good understanding about how courts work, how SCOTUS works, and in a lesser way, I have an understanding about how politics work. Throughout President Trump's presidency, I have seen time and time again, this administration threaten all kinds of legal action where I knew there would be no actual result. I knew that Trump could not completely "defund" sanctuary cities due to 10th Amendment precedent, I knew that Trump could not single handedly end birthright citizenship, and I also watched as the promise of a Mexican funded border wall fell short of expectations. And every time POTUS would threaten legal action, or Tucker and Hannity would talk about how bombshells were coming that would enable Trump to do so, I knew that in the end those things would not pan out because they were not, from a legal perspective, doable.

Now, to be fair, Trump has done a considerable amount of good for this country with the powers that he does have. I voted for him because of his policies on jobs, and because of his focus on this country rather than being the "good guy" to the rest of the world. But when it comes to this election, I am once again at a point where I do not think that threats of legal action are going to do anything to stop Joe Biden from becoming the next president.

I don't want to jump into a huge legal analysis here, but just as some general background, SCOTUS does not have original jurisdiction over elections. Meaning, they are not going to listen to evidence of voter fraud and make their decision as to whether there should be recounts or audits. Rather, whatever dispute Trump has with the election process will need to work its way up through state courts, and if the issue is not resolved there, the SCOTUS can, but does not have to, decide on the dispute.

Now, I do not doubt that the SCOTUS would get involved in this case given how big it is, but there are also many scenarios that could happen in each individual state's Supreme Court. If that happens, that would mean that the Trump admin would have to come up with unique arguments for each state stating why there was voter fraud there and why the state should go back to, or stay with, Trump. This gets very tricky because you don't want to present an argument in one state that counters your argument in another. And to avoid such confusion, SCOTUS may very well leave each individual state's Supreme Court to decide what to do about their elections.

Having SCOTUS intervene in a way that would favor Trump because of personal grudges, political leanings, or because of being appointed by him goes against very deep seeded conservative principles of the SCOTUS majority. Keep that in mind as well and if you have a chance read through Bush v. Gore.

So with that being said, don't trust what you read online, and do some solid research for yourself. For that matter, don't trust me either, I'm just a random person online. But do keep fighting for what you believe in, keep true to your principles, keep God in your heart, and know that this is the greatest country on Earth, and whatever happens, we will never stop fighting.

Look at the way he keeps reading from him "notes" after every question. He's prepared, he has relevant statistics (although flawed stats), and he has pre-canned slogans to go along with his answers. Even his little "moments" are so fake it's laughable.
