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.

I meant legally. Playing by the rules. They aren’t do THAT. You know that. Of COURSE they’re resorting to thuggery; it’s what they do.
If Rudy cannot clearly state the injury in fact that he wants the court to consider and the remediation he expects the court to provide then I think it is Rudy's fault why the case failed.
If the Scouts rules against the Trump lawyers, they are leaving themselves open to becoming inconsequential. Once Biden packs the Supreme Court, they will be 9 of many.

Still is.. it seems he is there because of his experience of fighting organized crime..
That’s what the country has been experiencing..
Trump is fighting organized crime.
Organized crime called the Federal Govt.
And the Democrat party. The media. big tech. Big vote..
And heck, maybe even the Republican party..
These are foxhole kind of people Trump has. Rudy is in his foxhole..
For a reason.
The District Court Judge Brann dismissal was one of the most stinging rulings IâÂÂve read from the bench. He knocked the snot out of them. (âÂÂstrained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations ... unsupported by evidence.âÂÂ). So, although anything is possible,
I doubt USSC would even pick that hot potato up in that regard. ItâÂÂs likely DOA. But they can always try.
I wouldn’t be too surprised if they did.
