Brane Space: Trump's "Top Lawyer" Jenna Ellis Revealed As Colorado-Based Religious Crackpot- As 'Safe Harbor' Day Arrives

Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis' "work appears to be largely in PR capacity"

The Trumpie Looneytunes' assault on reason, sanity and reality has continued unabated but technically ends today. This is given December 8th is “safe harbor day,”, defined under federal law as that day for which all states that have chosen their electors must have their votes counted by congress and any legal disputes resolved. Thus, any state that gets its electors in by today is "safe" so that congress must accept its electors, this now 6 days before the Electoral College meets. In effect, for those 'safe' states there cannot be any further congressional shenanigans or any dubious lawyers' belated "objections". In this case to expedite overturning the 2020 election for Trump. (Those states that fail to get their electors' slate in today are still subject to congressional vote.) As the lead article in today's NY Times puts it:

"By the end of today, the nation will reach the so-called safe-harbor deadline, which is generally accepted as the date by which all state-level election challenges — such as recounts and audits — are supposed to be completed.

Broadly, this means that President Trump’s efforts to overturn the presidential election are nearing the end of the line. After today, state courts would most likely have to throw out any new lawsuit challenging the election."

This is all good, especially if the endless grievance game and imbecilic nonsense of Trump and his clown car of "lawyers' can be halted. And especially delivering a wake up call to his zombies who remain convinced this shit-faced orange fungus can still win. Including in the latest incident, featuring a protest with screaming, weapons-bearing goons in front of the Michigan Secretary of State's home, e.g.

Armed "protestors" target Michigan Secretary Of State and her four-year-old son at her home Saturday night

These twits and fools have acted like the zombie robots they are mainly because their brains haven't broken out of the insanity loop created by the Dotard and his retinue of legal buffoons. These morons have now lost nearly 50 court challenges in trying to steal the votes of 80+ million Americans to worship their authoritarian traitor master- all to no end.

At the helm of this so-called "constitutional challenge" is Trump's top lawyer, Jenna Ellis, supposedly a constitutional law expert who was revealed as nothing of the sort (Denver Post, December 6, p. 10A, 'The Rise of Trump's Top Lawyer Ellis'). In fact she is a Colorado-based religious crackpot - previously associated with James Dobson and his "Colorado Christian University" . According to the Post Piece:

"She took a position with James Dobson, the evangelical heavyweight, and joined the faculty of Colorado Christian University ....By late 2018, regular viewers of cable news would come to know Ellis as a 'constitutional law attorney' - her preferred title - who aggressively came to Trump's defense as he faced investigation and impeachment.

But a review of her professional history, as well as interviews with more than a half dozen lawyers who have worked with her, show that Ellis, 36, is not the seasoned constitutional lawyer she plays on TV. In many ways that makes her ideal for the role she has now fashioned for herself. She is a star player in the president's theater of grievance and denial whose lack of relevant experience with the legal questions at hand has had no apparent bearing on her ability to present herself as someone of great authority."

When in fact, this kook is really a poseur, abundantly evident when she appeared on a Real Time interview with Bill Maher some five weeks ago. Also as the Post observes: "Since she graduated law school in 2011, nothing in her record in the courtroom - shows any time spent litigating election law cases."

Adding (ibid.):

"Lawyers who worked with Ellis said she was not the kind of attorney they believed would be particularly helpful to this or any other president, given her background. Craig Silverman, a lawyer in Denver who used to host a radio show on legal matters and current events that Ellis occasionally appeared on. described her as an 'attorney of scant accomplishment'. The cases she discussed with him he recalled, were bread and butter criminal defense work. He said he always expected her to pursue a career in teaching and media, not the law."

Which makes total sense given how many losses she and Trump's other buffoon lawyer- Vampire Rudy Giulani- have racked up so far. Further, neither of these legal dimwits is remotely aware Trump has actually crossed the line into federal felony by making so many frivolous legal challenges. As one lawyer pointed out, cited last night on ALL In, e.g.

"He does not have the right to file the bad faith frivolous complaints. It's his lawyers' duty to advise him against doing so and withdraw from representing him if he persists. The lawyers ought to face sanctions of bar discipline if they fail in that duty."

And yet there on the front page of today's WaPo was the latest effort of this vermin rat to commit the federal crime of attempting to falsify already certified returns. e.g.

Trump asks Pa. House speaker for help overturning results

Why isn't this arch criminal and orange pestilence Trump in jail yet? Oh right, because presidents are above the law-- according to the theory of the "unitary executive" - propounded by the likes of Bill Barr. Why aren't his lawyers disbarred for aiding and abetting his crimes? Of course, we already know all the real lawyers once involved have bailed out of Trump's circus - leaving only the clowns: Giuliani and Ellis. Is Ellis the high-powered legal eagle she tries to portray, as on Real Time? No way. Indeed after the first few minutes of Maher's interview both Janice and I pegged her as a vapid airhead who only knew how to repeat stock right wing phrases. No deep thinking to make any kind of serious arguments, which literally had Bill almost pulling his hair out after five minutes. (Janice wondered why he even had her on for the interview, when the time could have been spent with GOP superlawyer Ben Ginsberg - who wanted no part of this 3 ring Dotard legal circus.)

But what about the legal "court" confabs she appeared to have attended with Giuliani and shown on CNN, FOX, MSNBC etc. All Potemkin displays, "scaled down political rallies" in effect. Informal gaggles of kooks and renegades convened by pro-Trump Reepo lawmakers and "serving no legal purpose" other than for the Dotard to air his endless grievances, pique at losing and frustrations. But especially now knowing that he will be not only known as a loser, but a sore loser, in perpetuity.

What about Jenna Ellis' future when this slow-rolling train wreck ends? When the current clown show of Trump grievance and lawless efforts to falsify election returns crashes on the rocks, as it will, what will be her singular claim to fame? Probably, as the Post notes, her book: 'The Legal Basis for a Moral Constitution: A Guide for Christians to Understand America's Constitutional Crisis'. In this case, perhaps an Amazon reviewer's take best sums it up, confirming the Post's expose of this flailing flyweight:

"This book is not well-written, well-researched, or grounded in logic or history. The author's personal beliefs drive what analysis there is rather than facts. A glaring example is the bald declaration that the Articles of Confederation were always intended to be temporary. There is simply no historical basis for such an assertion, which is perhaps why no citation for that claim is included in the book. This is a necessary elision to fit the baseless hypothesis that the Constitution flows directly and without pause or thought from the Declaration of Independence. There are myriad examples of this form of intellectual laziness throughout the book."

But hey! This may well explain, according to a WaPo story yesterday, why Ellis is also part of the St Thomas More Society in its effort at repetitive legislation to overturn the election. As the Post notes:

"Senior Trump campaign legal adviser Jenna Ellis serves as special counsel to the Thomas More Society, which has filed lawsuits through the newly formed Amistad Project alleging problems with the vote in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Thomas More Society confirmed her relationship to the group but said she is playing no role in its election-related activities. However, her affiliation with the organization — as well as other links between Trump’s team and the conservative group — suggest a coordinated effort to flood the nation’s courts with repetitive litigation that allows the president to claim the election results remain contested."

When Jenna is finally done with this gig, there is likely a place for her book and moralistic crusade mentality to be used by the Project Blitz fanatics! Americans United for Separation of Church & State released a a short video on Project Blitz to create public awareness. Watch it and learn more!
