Pennsylvania to U.S. Supreme Court: Texas Guilty of ‘Seditious’ Behavior
Breitbart ^ | 12.11.2020 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 12/11/2020 3:21:29 AM PST by USA Conservative

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania accused the State of Texas of sedition in its filing Thursday at the U.S. Supreme Court, responding to a Texas lawsuit seeking to invalidate the presidential vote of four other states on constitutional grounds.

Pennsylvania said that Texas was guilty of “seditious abuse of the judicial process.” Sedition is commonly understood as rebellion, and is defined more precisely in federal criminal law as an attempt to overthrow the United States government.

As Breitbart News was the first to report, Texas sued Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on Monday night, alleging that they went outside their state legislatures to change their voting procedures, in violation of the U.S. Constitution. In addition, Texas argued that these states had applied their own laws unevenly, and allowed irregularities to occur. It is seeking to have the vote results in these states set aside, and the choice of electors to be decided by the state legislatures.

Pennsylvania and the other defendant states filed their responses on Thursday, together with a variety of other parties. The Pennsylvania response was written by Attorney General Josh Shapiro, known for his highly partisan approach. He wrote:

Since Election Day, State and Federal courts throughout the country have been flooded with frivolous lawsuits aimed at disenfranchising large swaths of voters and undermining the legitimacy of the election. The State of Texas has now added its voice to the cacophony of bogus claims. Texas seeks to invalidate elections in four states for yielding results with which it disagrees. Its request for this Court to exercise its original jurisdiction and then anoint Texas’s preferred candidate for President is legally indefensible and is an afront [sic] to principles of constitutional democracy.

Some of the comments at the article are real thigh slappers like this one: “You and your alternative facts. Why can’t Trump supporters just take it like real men and act instead like spoiled brats with their whining and temper tantrums? What is wrong with you people - just look how Hilary conceded gracefully - why can’t you see that you worship a man-baby with his only interest in himself and zero compassion. Today more people died of Covid 19 than in 9/11. Not a fu... word from the orange man.”

Unless, of course, Texas is correct and the PASC is itself seditious, a more likely claim.

Pennsylvania needs to show that its actions adhered to the Constitution.

If accusations of sedition is all they have, then they have lost this case.

In which case the important question becomes: will SCOTUS betray the Constitution by refusing effective remedies?

And if SCOTUS is faithful, recognises that the elections in the four states were voided by unconstitutional actions, and asks each State Legislature to choose their electors - will the State Legislatures faithfully fulfill their responsibilities?

Pennsylvania re-asserts its right to throw an honest election.

While one hand is levying outlandish accusations and daring everyone to call them on it, the other is looking for ways to blackmail the Supreme Court justices (not counting the one who’s already compromised).

I lol at the covid figures

The closer they got to election time the faster the numbers go up and since...

2500
3000
3500

Taking bets the number of dead will jump to 6k by Monday evening.

Zero flu or preconditions normally associated with deaths.... All just Covid.

If they cut the increased funds given to hospital insurance companies to flu related death funding levels thus taking the money out of the equation I bet you the numbers would drop like a stone.

Add ‘sedition’ to ‘treason’ and ‘racism’ as words that have been so misused as to lose all meaning.

One of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals is to accuse the other side of what you yourself are guilty of with all the fake moral indignation at your disposal.

Andrew Breitbart would be ashamed of what they have done to his company.

Democrats always accuse people of what Democrats are doing.

Swallwell was collaborating with the commies; ergo he accuses Trump.

So PA is seditious.
