Opening argument or to open a case is to make a statement of the pleadings in a case, which is called the opening.bullshit... NOT a single case was investigated. They were all ruled on from the bench. You folks seriously need to wake the hell up before you try it again. It won't end well for any of us. IF your guy had actually been cheated out of his office you people would have been in the streets, burning blue shitholes down. You expect those on the Right to obey the same laws you shit on and you're in for a very rude awakening next time.
2. The opening should be concise, very distinct and perspicuous. Its use is to enable the judge and jury to direct their attention to the real merits of the case, and the points in issue.
3. The opening address or speech is that made immediately after the evidence has been closed; such address usually states, 1st. The full extent of the plaintiff’s claims, and the circumstances under which they are made, to show that they are just and reasonable.
2d. At least an outline of the evidence by which those claims are to be established.
3d.The legal grounds and authorities in favor of the claim or of the proposed evidence.
4th. An anticipation of the expected defense, and statement of the grounds on which it is futile, either in law or justice, and the reasons why it ought to fail.
So, not one GQP lawyer is smart enough to do that?
Trump and his cult rely on the pillow guy?
