Lake filed an election lawsuit so egregiously bullshit that the judge decided that just telling her "you lose" and tossing the case wasn't nearly strong enough.
Well, to give you an idea of how unhappy they were, there were no concurrences or dissents.
Just a single unanimous opinion that not only threw out Cannon's order for a special master but ordered her to dismiss the entire case as her court doesn't have the jurisdiction to be involved in the first place.

And again, the
district court stepped in with its own reasoning.
