Lawyers representing Louie Gohmert and a group of Arizona Republicans disclosed in a court filing Tuesday that Vice President Pence rejected their request to join their attempt to block electors.
Gohmert and 11 GOP “alternate” electors from Arizona filed suit against Pence on Monday in an attempt to argue that the vice president has sole authority to determine which presidential electors Congress will count when it certifies the results of the election. The suit essentially asks the court to grant Pence the authority on Jan. 6 to overrule the results in swing states such as Arizona and have Congress count only pro-Trump electors.
In new court filings made public Tuesday, the plaintiffs disclosed that they had reached out to Pence before filing their suit in an attempt to join forces but that their talks did not reach any kind of agreement.
“In the teleconference, Plaintiffs’ counsel made a meaningful attempt to resolve the underlying legal issues by agreement, including advising the Vice President’s counsel that Plaintiffs intended to seek immediate injunctive relief in the event the parties did not agree,” lawyers for Gohmert and the electors said in the filing. “Those discussions were not successful in reaching an agreement and this lawsuit was filed.”
The revelation was made in a filing in which Gohmert’s attorneys sought an expedited schedule for a ruling from U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle of the Eastern District of Texas, a Trump appointee.

Because their voters are gone forever.
Since they have shown us that they don't give a crap about our votes being stolen then we no longer care about giving them our votes.
Would be really bad for him to try to do it - if you don’t think so, tell me what you think of Abrams’ “judge” sister not being recused in GA.
Sure they have, they face it all the time. From the LEFT.!! The left is always beating on the cowardly politicians, and they always get what they want.
Did you know that the left just past a law that says they, the federal government, have the right to forcefully vaccinate your children without your consent or even your knowledge.?
Are you aware that stinking RATS have stolen the Presidency right before our very eyes, AND GOT AWAY WITH IT.!!
This sort of stuff goes on all the time and the right just lets it happen over and over again without any push-back what so ever.. Oh sure, there is always lots of chest beating and threats from the good guys but nothing ever comes of it..
We have a God given right to defend our home, family and country.. Right now we are loosing it all, so exactly when does that start to happen..?
The certificates will be there. From the law: "to whom shall be handed, as they are opened by the President of the Senate, all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes, which certificates and papers shall be opened, presented, and acted upon in the alphabetical order of the States, beginning with the letter A".
“Pence may have this evidence/information that the court refused to listen to or discounted as “baseless” and can make that judgment himself. “
Just as Walter Mondale could have decided to keep Jimmy Carter in office in 1980, based on his sole judgement?
Only a Qtard could believe such nonsense.
Thanks for your advice.
Happy New Year!
RFRA?? What’s that stand for, and please explain.
Religious Freedom Restoration Act - a law used in many other states which would have reinforced constitutional protections by churches and religious organizations from civil rights laws (like being forced to capitulate to gay marriage and transgender bathrooms, pronouns, etc)
Essentially Pence signed the bill into law and when the leftists protesters went nuts (not unlike what’s been happening this summer) Pence folded like a cheap suit and capitulated to all their demands and effectively destroyed the law.
Bravo!
Ok, yep, I remember that now, and when Pence folded many of us in the church wanted to tell him a thing or two. That’s why I have no faith that he will do the right thing now.
