True the Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips have been in jail since Monday morning.
Federal District Judge Kenneth Hoyt appears to be far more interested in helping Konnech track down the identities of all involved in exposing the company’s massive contract fraud involving it’s client’s election data than he is in properly deciding if its defamatory for True the Vote to claim Eugene Yu did what LA County officials just arrested and charged him for doing.
One of the most stunning aspects of this case is how the judge seems to have instantly accepted without question or evidence Konnech’s version of events from the very start and has pro-actively taken steps to counter any attempt by the defendants to prove the falsity of Konnech’s representations to him.
Let me provide just one example of this:
On Thursday October 27, True the Vote’s lawyers had a representative of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on the phone ready to speak to the judge about the case being made against Eugene Yu. This LA County rep was clearly prepared to discuss evidence that the server in question was indeed located in China, and not inside the United States. This person was prepared to discuss the very relevant fact that the data on the Chinese server included over one million US poll worker’s personal identification information. This person was prepared to answer any questions the judge had about the criminal case being prosecuted against Eugene Yu and, by extension, against Konnech itself.
As the stunned observers in the courtroom looked on, Judge Hoyt insisted he had no reason to speak to this LA County person, and wasn’t interested in discussing any of the evidence being used to prosecute Eugene Yu because he sees that as a completely different case, and so he was not going to waste any of his time on that.

And let me end this column by dropping the $56,000 question:
If Phillips and Engelbrecht are telling the truth in their testimony, and they never had the 30+ terabytes in their hands, and this 30 terabytes of data went from Mike Hasson to the FBI…
…where exactly did the LA County prosecutor and the grand jury get the evidence they saw that led them to indict and arrest Eugene Yu if it didn’t come from True the Vote?

Word is they just were released. Hooray!
More to this than meets the eye.

"Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips were ordered released by a panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit late Nov. 6.
“IT IS ORDERED that Petitioners’ opposed motion for release from detention is GRANTED pending further order of this court,” the panel said in the order, which was obtained by The Epoch Times.
The panel consisted of Circuit Judges Catharina Haynes, a George W. Bush appointee; Kurt Engelhardt, a Trump appointee; and Andrew Oldham, a Trump appointee.
Engelbrecht and Phillips were expected to be released on Nov. 7, a spokesman for True the Vote told The Epoch Times via email on Monday morning."

These Judges... I publicly suggested at a FL Public Hearing that we should have the Death Penalty for Activist Judges. It woke people up.
I figure if you can have a lifetime appointment. Then the Penalty of Death should be on the table. It seems fair!
Of course it goes for the other side too, right? Judges voting along with religion (e.g. Roe-vs-Wade) get the chair or noose too. They shouldn't really mind, since it is glory for them. This election would have been a landslide, if it hadn't been for that religiously-based, unnecessary precedent-flipping SCOTUS decision. Now we are nail biting.
Another one of huge import would be reversing Chevron, but so far there aren't any pending cases which would allow for that. :(
One of the justices tried to hear a case relevant to Chevron, but the rest voted them down. There was just a Reason article on this.
- States have an interest in safeguarding health, maintaining medical standards, and protecting prenatal life
- A fetus is a "person" protected by the 14th Amendment
- Protecting prenatal life from the time of conception is a compelling state interest
RvW stood based on the 14th Amendment, just like a vast majority of things should be off the menu for the Fed or States. Making cakes for example.
"[W]e do not agree that, by adopting one theory of life, Texas may override the rights of the pregnant woman that are at stake."
Not even complicated. Same as getting a tattoo, removing a tumor, or chopping one's own finger off.
I would also point out that you also completely mischaracterize the recent decision: it did not outlaw abortion, it simply put the decision back where it should have been all along: in the hands of the States as per the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. As Justice Thomas pointed out when SCOTUS voted to overturn Roe, the critical flaw lay in the very unConstitutionality of the original ruling in usurping to the Federal government authority not granted anywhere in the Constitution.
P.S. 97-98% of abortions have no other reason than personal convenience.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Now while I can see several arguments in there which run contrary to the practice of abortion (protection of life being the big one), the Constitutional problem with the original Roe decision was that at that time not a single State had voted to grant the "privilege" of aborting a child. Roe invented that "right" out of thin air and then pretended that that invented "right" couldn't be abridged by the States - all in one fell swoop without any kind of legislative debate or vote of the People.
It's funny that you decry overturning Roe as a dogmatic decision when the original Roe decision was the result of the tyranny of judicial activism. I guess it just all depends on whether or not the pendulum swings toward one's philosophical predilections rather than solid rational thinking.
The whole argument boils down to the religious assertion that conception begins a human. There is no more to it than that. Everything else about it is a tattoo, piercing or breast augmentation.
I think it is, but not the way the democrats mean it.
If you haven't seen it yet then you can catch it on One America News throughout the week. Well worth the hour and a half to watch it.
