President Donald Trump’s campaign lawyers said Saturday they would file an appeal to the Third Circuit court after a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit to challenge the results of the election in Pennsylvania.
Trump 2020 attorneys former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis said in a statement:
Today’s decision turns out to help us in our strategy to get expeditiously to the U.S. Supreme Court. Although we fully disagree with this opinion, we’re thankful to the Obama-appointed judge for making this anticipated decision quickly, rather than simply trying to run out the clock.
The lawsuit argued that the legal guarantee of “equal protection under the law” was violated after counties where voters were primarily Democrats took different approaches than counties where voters were primarily Republicans to help voters with problems with their mail-in ballots.
U.S. Middle District Judge Matthew Brann dismissed the suit on Saturday “with prejudice,” issuing a stinging rebuke to the campaign for trying to “disenfranchise almost seven million voters.” He wrote:
One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens. That has not happened.
Ellis and Giuliani argued that their evidence showed that 682,777 ballots in Pennsylvania were cast illegally, after poll workers denied the Republican party’s right to independent review, and said they wished to present their evidence in court.
“This is just an extension of the Big Tech, Big Media, Corrupt Democrat censorship of damning facts the American public needs to know,” they wrote.

This is a mistake Trump lawyers are doing by emphasizing ‘Obama apointed’. It will put pressure on Trump appointed (SC) judges to appear ‘neutral’.
Ha haaaaa!!! Dr. President Trump is the Bobby Fischer of 4D Chess!
Or the Boris Spassky if you prefer.
In my honest humble opinion, I don’t think this team of lawyers wants any state court decisions to go their way. They want rulings that will apply across many states. It is the most consistent and effective way to get things done.
If he was appointed by Obama, he is a Federal judge.
Disagree.
I think it will put pressure to do the opposite...and, to appoint non-Commie related Judges.
Correct ... should have written lower court instead. I was thinking of all the state court proceedings, which gets them to the next step.
Anything filed in a Pennsylvania State Court by Republicans brings up that gif of the guys throwing back their heads and laughing.
Maybe they are trying to protect the judge from the mob and the Deep State. He might be protecting himself with that biased rebuke too.
You can bet that no lower court judge feels qualified to decide something this big and his actions, and his biased rebuke, will only serve to get this quickly heard in a higher court.
The nation isn’t going to accept an opinion from anything less than the full SCOTUS bench. The faster it gets there the better.

I’m hoping Trump prevails here.
Meanwhile I’m sitting back and biding my time.
We live in interesting times.
At this point in the game, I don’t think the Trump lawyers will be making ANY mistakes.
And at 11:59pm, the governor has only one minute to call the warden.
Put a Ellis in front of the court, Rudy has had his day and should be relegated to researcbt

Alekhine, in my opinion.
Yup. Sadly, the bloom is off the rose for Rudy. He was a great man in his prime. He went after the mafia, restored law and order, and cleaned up New York City.
that just opened my eyes to many things in all this! thanks for pointing it out!
The Supreme Court should rule 9-0 on any Election 2020 matters.
