POST-SCOTUS: Trump Legal Team To File Reworked Texas-Style Election Challenges in Individual States
National File ^ | 12/12/2020 | Frank Salvato

Posted on 12/12/2020 6:25:20 PM PST by SeekAndFind

In a move that seems to incorporate the direction that US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito tacitly voiced in his accompanying statement Friday’s decision not to hear Texas’s lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, the Trump legal team is or has filed lawsuits in each of the Defendant States.

The Attorney General of the State of Texas, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit in the US Supreme Court against the four battleground states alleging the election laws in each of those states were violated.

The suit charged that because the procedural amendments to facilitate expanded mail-in and absentee voting in those states were not legislated, as mandated by both the US and the respective state constitutions, that the said expansion was illegal and constituted a violation of the 50 State covenant that is the basis for our Union.

The nation’s High Court rejected the suit late Friday based on the controversial point of “standing.”

With that decision, President Trump’s legal team is filing retooled lawsuits that will be filed in each of the four Defendant States and expanded to Nevada and Arizona.

“We move immediately, seamlessly, to plan B, which is to bring lawsuits now in each one of the states. We had them ready. They’re just a version of the one that was brought in the Supreme Court. So last night, the president made the decision,” Rudy Giuliani said in an interview.

“courts are saying they want to stay out of this, they don’t want the American people to hear the facts.”

The retooled lawsuits – that incorporate tacit direction by Justice Alito and seconded by Justice Clarence Thomas, will incorporate the charges made in the complaint filed by Texas.

Alito wrote in a separate statement from the High Court ruling, “In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction…I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.”

Neither he nor Thomas addressed the questions in the case.

“If the state doesn’t have standing, surely the president of the United States has standing,” Giuliani continued to say in the interview. “And certainly the electors in the states have standing. So, they will be bringing those very cases right in those courts, starting today.”

Giuliani punctuated his statement by saying, “And let’s see what excuse they can try to use to avoid having a hearing on that.”

The states where the fraud is IN OUR FACES, amount to over 70 Electoral votes. But our Overlords don’t care about the Law. They only care about destroying ANYONE who does care about LAWS.

> On the other hand, showing a criminal conspiracy to rig the vote would be outrageous enough to give congress second thoughts about approving the electors.

There is literally no evidence strong enough and no crime outrageous enough to pull enough House Democrats (and RINO) to make an EC challenge stick on Jan 6.

You may be right, but if a RICO indictment came down against people who engineered double-voting in , say, Wis, Mich and Pa, it would be difficult for The House to affirm the electoral votes from those states.

All I’m saying is the process arguments that the Trump team is currently relying on - the argument that the wrong branch of government made changes to election procedures - isn’t going to move the needle. Courts aren’t going to undo the election results based on those violations, and Congress certainly isn’t. That’s because the public doesn’t understand or care about nerdy separation powers issues.

Indictments for criminal vote-rigging conspricacy, on the other hand, would be something people could understand and take notice of. It’s more like what people see on crime shows on TV. There would be more pressure on courts and Congress to pay attention.

The courts dont want to deal with it. They need a wake up. Those 18 states put on the table articles of secession. Or at least a few of those states.

Then stand back and see if they get the picture. When they start with this secession sh&t aint constitutional, then retort with what the SCOTUS did with the Texas case wasnt constitutional.

Then tell them since Joe Bejing Biden stole that election and is not qualified for the office because of his crooked Chinese dealings, etc, Trump is our president.

Now we can imagine what the Founders and Patriots faced against the British. In many cases they and their families were threatened,terrorized,tortured and all of their property destroyed.

The church thing is way different, a much more minor controversy and result ( and the result would not be controversial in the average persons eyes).

Trump is asking the courts to throw out tens of thousands of votes after they’ve been cast. That’s a big deal in most peoples minds. Courts are going to be afraid to do that, especially based on arcane process grounds . Showing some clear crimes and indicted conspirators would put some steel in their spines.

I’m very disappointed with Trumps team for not being better prepared long ago. They should have had a National clearing house where poll watchers could report suspicious activity in real time on Election Day and night, and poll workers should have had extensive training in how to look for fraud and respond to obstruction. Retired law enforcement people should have been recruited as part of the effort. One problem is that the GOP party establishment wants Trump gone, so they didn’t help and they aren’t helping. But Trump could have assembled his own nationwide team, and also hired top notch private investigators and cyber security experts to help war game their strategy. Instead, they’ve got a ragtag after the fact effort that’s too late to do what’s needed

It’s kind of like Trumps 4 years. Not enough careful consistent strategizing to push through the MAGA agenda. So Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were able to hijack it and substitute their own traditional Republican goal (corporate tax cuts) in place of Trumps promises of infrastructure and major immigration and border tightening.

Absolutely not. We still need to find out the legitimate ballots cast on each side, or, if that’s impossible, make some remedy to make up for what happened in these dumpster swing states.

I agree with you, and I’ve also read what you described about the US Ambassador to Germany (in Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich).

I think most people don’t realize how few people work for campaigns and work for the White House. It’s just a handful. It’s hard enough running the nation, running a campaign, figuring out Operation Warp Speed for the vaccine and everything else—and now the GOP is expected to prepare lawsuits BEFORE elections are stolen, and somehow PREVENT the steal?

I guess going forward they’d better hire some temp lawyers and have template filing briefs ready to go, with fill-in-the blanks for the fraud details. It’s very hard to prepare for future cheating or prevent it or fight against it.

As Woody Allen says, sometimes the wicked prosper—like Hitler or like the Dems—they prosper against well meaning people with good intentions. The wicked prosper and they can marvel at how they got away with it. It happens all the time.

As for me and my household, I will serve the Lord.

TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME! If SCOTUS is going to rule that other states can IGNORE the CONSTITUTION, then Texas should jump in on that also, i.e. the Constitution gives them X number of electors (and votes), well they IGNORE that and send 270 electors in for Trump. LOL!
