Appeals court rejects Trump campaign’s Pennsylvania lawsuit, setting up Supreme Court next

The president's campaign will continue pushing their legal fight toward the Supreme Court

The Trump 2020 campaign's legal team suffered another blow in court on Friday, as a federal appeals court in Philadelphia rejected the attorneys' effort to contest the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania.

Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote on behalf of the three-judge panel that reviewed the appeal, "Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."

Trump's attorneys have vowed to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, despite the round dismissal from the appeals court.

Senior strategy adviser for the Trump campaign Steve Cortes told Just the News that "We will be appealing to the United States Supreme Court, which has always been where we wanted to end up. The sooner the better. We want to make these cases before the high court and we believe we have a compelling argument to make."

The case was argued last week by President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who presented the case that the results of the election had been undermined by widespread voter fraud across Pennsylvania. But Giuliani offered little tangible evidence to fortify his claims.

All three of the judges on Friday's panel of 3rd U.S. Circuit Court judges were appointed by Republicans, including Judge Bibas who is a Trump appointee. Until 2019, President Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, sat on the court for two decades.

On Tuesday, the state of Pennsylvania certified its election results in favor of Joe Biden, who will officially receive the Keystone State's 20 electoral votes. Biden led Trump in Pennsylvania by about 80,000 votes.

Following Friday's ruling, senior Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis tweeted, "The activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania continues to cover up the allegations of massive fraud. On to SCOTUS!"

This is Rudy’s lawsuit. Can someone summarize it for me?

Can they change anything before it goes to Supreme Court or does it have to be the same case. I am sure presented the same case and evidence that he did in the Republican senate for PA. You would think that would have been enough.

I’ll do it.

BY FAR our best chance lies in the state legislatures.

And Rudy gave a commanding performance that turned the tide towards them acting. Will they? I don’t know. Will enough of them? I don’t know.

I do know there’s a bunch of lawsuits out there and some faint every time one is rejected.

ciao

Am I missing something?

Is Rudy not presenting convincing evidence or are the judged afraid to rule on this explosive case?

I don’t understand.

I am sure the complaint was just “Hey this election is unfair”. Like one page, no evidence. These circuit court judges are such narcissistic pricks. Lawyers overall inflate their worthfullness in the human experience.

Meanwhile, the Democrat Party Cabal (DPC) continues relentlessly ramping up the pressure against President Trump to "Concede, concede, concede, concede, concede, ..."

Democrat Party Cabal (DPC) Member in Action: Here's a typical example of what just one of the DPC's members is perpetrating: Do a YouTube search regarding the election by searching for one or more of these terms: "Trump," "Biden," "Pence," "Kamala," or "election." If the video was uploaded to YouTube after Election Day, you'll automatically get the following disclaimer injected just below the YouTube video's title: "U.S. elections The AP has called the Presidential race for Joe Biden. See more on Google. [SHOW ME] Robust safeguards help ensure the integrity of elections and results. [Learn More]"

Go ahead, try out that YouTube test and easily prove to yourself that the DPC member, YouTube/Google/Alphabet, is constantly and deceitfully brainwashing you 24/7 into falsely thinking that Sleepy Joe Basement-Biden is the supposed President-Elect.

You can find many legal opinions on the other thread

Mostly bashing Rudy’s incompetence, etc.

Supposedly it was a very narrow lawsuit, done that way on purpose.

I haven't seen the suit, so I don't know.

1. It’s very unfortunate that the two federal courts in Pennsylvania are slamming the door shut and rejectIng serious equal protection issues and preventIng discovery on fraud issues. And these opinions are very political in nature.

I must be missing something. I don’t understand how President Trump could allow a lawsuit to be filed with “no allegations and no proof”.

One of “THE TESTS OF TRUTH” is:

Agreement With Experience

Kamala Harris had a rally in Las Vegas where nobody, NOBODY, showed up.

Biden had rallies where a couple of dozen people showed up.

Yet, the Biden Harris ticket received 80,000,000 votes?

This does not agree with experience.

It is a violation of THE TESTS OF TRUTH.

The claim that Biden received 80,000,000 votes is a LIE.

I really don’t think the courts want to get involved in deciding an election. Trump is going to lose.

Proof is difficult to obtain when the Fraud Perpetrators are deep-sixing the evidence with the courts providing cover..

Guessing he wants it to go straight to SCOTUS. Then they bring out everything they have. Meanwhile Powell is using a different angle and will be filing in PA soon. It’s all about getting this to fair courts before time runs out. May have known they wouldn’t do anything or just do something to stall Trumps efforts to get it to SCOTUS. Not totally sure.
