“Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., President Trump’s campaign committee, today filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the US. Supreme Court to reverse a trio of Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases which illegally changed Pennsylvania’s mail balloting law immediately before and after the 2020 presidential election in violation of Article II of the United States Constitution and Bush v. Gore. This represents the Campaign’s first independent U.S. Supreme Court filing and seeks relief based on the same Constitutional arguments successfully raised in Bush v. Gore.
“This petition follows a related Pennsylvania case where Justice Alito and two other justices observed ‘the constitutionality of the [Pennsylvania] Supreme Court’s decision [extending the statutory deadline for receipt of mail ballots from 8 pm on election day to 5 pm three days later] … has national importance, and there is a strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the Federal Constitution.’
“The Campaign’s petition seeks to reverse three decisions which eviscerated the Pennsylvania Legislature’s protections against mail ballot fraud, including (a) prohibiting election officials checking whether signatures on mail ballots are genuine during canvassing on Election Day, (b) eliminating the right of campaigns to challenge mail ballots during canvassing for forged signatures and other irregularities, (c) holding that the rights of campaigns to observe the canvassing of mail ballots only meant that they only were allowed to be ‘in the room’ - in this case, the Philadelphia Convention Center – the size of several football fields, and (d) eliminating the statutory requirements that voters properly sign, address, and date mail ballots.
“The petition seeks all appropriate remedies, including vacating the appointment of electors committed to Joseph Biden and allowing the Pennsylvania General Assembly to select their replacements. The Campaign also moved for expedited consideration, asking the Supreme Court to order responses by December 23 and a reply by December 24 to allow the U.S. Supreme Court to rule before Congress meets on January 6 to consider the votes of the electoral college.”
Keep fighting, POTUS — the Constitution depends on men like you.
I hope they bring some Tar and feathers with them for Roberts.
These are the same cases the Court refused to hear on appeal before?
Good luck to them...but doesn’t appear SCOTUS is interested in anything regarding this election.
This is not the solution in the works...this is a Sun Tzu dumpster fire to appear weak and on the last leg...
Chief Justice Roberts refuses to hear these cases in time for them to matter. Then they will be dismissed as moot when its too late. He has created a constitutional crisis. He owns this. He should be the first one on the plane to Gitmo when the conspirators get arrested.
They refused to hear because of lack of standing. It would be a stretch to say the Trump Campaign doesn’t have standing.
1 State, need at 2 more.
Quoting Bannon, “One falls, they all fall.”
RE: Trump Campaign taking Constitutional fight to Supreme Court
If the SCOTUS still ignores this and says that he has no standing, I really give up on our courts.
here is a link to the lawsuit—
cdn.donaldjtrump.com/public-files/press_assets/trump-v-boockvar-petition.pdf
I have read some of it.
Remember back in October Roberts shot down a look at PA (4-4) because it was too near the election. Well, ACB is now on the court and Roberts is no longer in charge.
One thing I noticed is that the PA Constitution requires signature verification on mail-in ballots according to this new lawsuit. I had not seen that in the prior lawsuits.
That was the Texas case. The one I'm thinking of, Kelly v. Pennsylvania, was just denied without comment by the court on December 8th. That made much the same claims that Trump is making now.
Those who are obstructing can only be considered dirty, why else would they be doing it. They know Trump is on fire and in the next 4 many will have new residence in gitmo
If I’ve learned one thing in 2020 (and the last 6 weeks in particular), it’s that the rule of law in the US is dead and that the judiciary has absolutely no interest in upholding the Constitution.
SCOTUS has spent the weeks since the election doing nothing but endorsing manifest electoral fraud at every turn. They’re a bunch of illegitimate clowns and I’ll never take them seriously again. Lawyers are not going to get Trump a second term.
Hopefully this will have the Justices analyzing the evidence/data indicating fraud.
Release the Powell.
... but the POSSIBLE RIOTS!!!! Oh my!
