In that case, why would the Clerk of the Court bother with all this?
September 23, 2022 Petition for Writ of Certiorari Received (The SCOTUS received the petition along with the copies for the Justices.) |
September 28, 2022 A phone call from SCOTUS (The Clerk of the SCOTUS calls Raland requesting for a revision of the Petition that would include more information on the lawsuit and wondering how soon they could get it.) |
October 17, 2022 2nd phone call from SCOTUS (The Clerk of the SCOTUS calls Raland again. She asks "how are you doing on your revision of the Writ with the additional information that we need?" Raland said "We're working on it as we speak!" She said "how soon can we get it?" Raland said "Right away!") |
October 20, 2022 Revised Petition shipped to the SCOTUS |
October 24, 2022 Petition docketed! (The clerk of the Court tells Raland that they have everything they need. The U.S. Attorneys have until Nov 23, 2022 to respond showing why the Supreme Court of the United States should not move on this case.) |
November 23, 2022 The Solicitor General of the United States Department of Justice replaces the U.S. Attorneys (Elizabeth B. Prelogar, the Solicitor General of United States, the official attorney on record for the defendants, and in behalf of the 388 defendants, waived their right to respond to this lawsuit, thus allowing the SCOTUS to move forward!) |
November 30, 2022 The SCOTUS set the conference date for Jan 6, 2023 (The 9 Justices will meet January 6, 2023 to discuss the case and decide (by vote) if they want to move it to a hearing, where they will oficially judge the case and decide (by vote) if defendants should be removed from office) |
You don't know about Rule 11?
They used the Court's own Rule 11 to bypass the 10th Circuit
who had been sitting on the case for months.
I suggest you better familiarize yourself with the case before opining.
You know of other instances where Rule 11 was used? Got link?
If the SCOTUS has the power to remove the President and Vice-President, and remove over 300 members of Congress, this would shut down the Executive Branch and shut down Congress. You would have a dictatorship because the SCOTUS is not an elected body.
The only body that has any measure of control of the Court is Congress, through impeachment, but remember, Congress is shut down.
And while we’re at it, maybe someone can cut and paste the section of the Constitution where it says the Supreme Court can remove a President and can shut down Congress.
This lawsuit is nonsense, it’s nuts, it’s just another fantasy .
The abortion zealots probably thought the same thing about Dobbs v Jackson.
AND? No expansion of thoughts on HOW this lawsuit is all of those things?
Or are you just a snipe and run type of poster?
Thanks for that timeline!
Write 2 letters...CALL TO ACTION
It's 100%.
The abortion zealots probably thought the same thing about Dobbs v Jackson.
You could write pages and pages and pages recounting all the legal reasoning why certiorari will be denied by the Court, but who in their right mind would want to take the time to do that? Especially when most of the folks reading wouldn't be lawyers and would just dismiss the arguments out of hand anyway?
Although it was mentioned that the Supreme Court, especially one that isn't activist, and isn't going to get rid of the President and most of Congress in one fell swoop. That would be a judicial takeover of mind-boggling proportions. There is literally nothing in the Constitution that gives the Court the power to do that.
So you don’t believe in the rule of law?
Most abortion advocates who knew anything about the law knew Roe was on shaky ground. Even some leftists admitted that.
You should probably consider it significant that the government waived its right to file any brief in opposition to the petition. They literally saw no need to make an argument at all.
Just so, Kevin. This is the fourth or fifth time this has been posted, each time as if it were something new. And each time I’m going to respond:
My brothers and sisters, my FRiends: do you remember Quo Warranto writs, magic executive orders, the Insurrection Act, and whatever Mike Lindell was nattering on about? THIS is more of THAT. Lawsuits are not magic incantations where you just say the right words and the earth opens up for you. This is bull crap. It is going exactly nowhere. Please stop falling for the hopium. We’re ina twilight struggle for the future of the republic, and we’re losing. Don’t waste your time on garbage
And “at least someone is doing something” only counts if you have a chance of being successful, no matter how small. Kari Lake’s election contest is an example. What’s being discussed here is just pissing in the wind, and it will prove just as productive as that activity
And rather than prove that assertion, because who wants to spend time doing something fruitful like supporting their argument, one can merely speak a thing and make a thing so.
Got it.
If you believed in the rule of law, you'd be looking for provision in the Constitution that authorizes the Supreme Court to remove members of Congress or the President. No such provision exists.
You believe that elected officials have sovereign immunity from being prosecuted for their crimes.
Doesn’t sound like you believe in the rule of law to me.
I know what the Solicitor General did. No need to take me for an idiot like she is taking you.
