The Supreme Court on Wednesday docketed an appeal filed by President Donald Trump’s campaign that seeks to reverse cases by a state court but did not immediately act on the campaign’s request to expedite the case.
Instead, the top court’s docket shows a Jan. 22, 2021. deadline—two days after the presidential inauguration day—for when the state is required to respond to the request for appeal.
The campaign filed the suit on Monday challenging three Pennsylvania Supreme Court rulings that “illegally changed” the mail-in ballot laws “immediately before and after the 2020 presidential election,” the legal team said.
The team argued that those court decisions were issued in violation of Article II of the Constitution and the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Bush v. Gore, that settled a recount dispute from Florida in 2000.
Along with the petition for a writ of certiorari, the legal team filed a request to the court to expedite the case. That request asked the nation’s top court to order Pennsylvania officials to respond by noon on Wednesday—a deadline that has now passed.
“If this matter is not timely resolved, not only Petitioner, but the Nation as a whole may suffer injury from the resulting confusion,” the campaign wrote (pdf).
“Indeed, the intense national and worldwide attention on the 2020 Presidential election only foreshadows the disruption that may well follow if the uncertainty and unfairness shrouding this election are allowed to persist. The importance of a prompt resolution of the federal constitutional questions presented by this case cannot be overstated,” they added.
John Eastman, the president’s attorney in this case, told The Epoch Times in an email that the Jan. 22 date is an automatic entry by the clerk’s office, as every petition for certiorari is given a 30-day response deadline after the request is docketed.

2 days after inauguration is enough info for me.
Yeah I know there’s a procedure and a system on when a case is heard but this is just A LITTLE URGENT!!!
Holidays overrides country, apparently
By the letter of the law, I suppose it makes sense. But do they not comprehend that the survival of the nation itself is at stake? If the nation dies, so do they. Under those circumstances, a little expediting would be in order.
After CJ Roberts gets put on the plane for Gitmo, Justice Thomas can fix the scheduling issues to provide a functional SCOTUS.
That tells you wha the court’s position on the matter is.
Slow walk it until Biden is halfway into his first term and it won’t matter.
Whether it is corruption on whether it is numbed by the magnitude of the corruption makes no difference. The result is the same.
Roberts will try to make things difficult for Trump to win any of the cases.
Unbelievable sons (and daughters) of whores!
Plan b
Quid pro quo
Trust the plan, yeah yeah yeah. It’s up to the citizens to fix this.
THE.FIX.IS.IN.
The Supreme Court excluding Alto and Thomas for not taking action has turned this country into a banana republic because of their inaction. Hope they realize this is how history will look a pond them. Sad day that our judicial system went political.
Agreed. I fear this is all an exercise in futility. The fix is in and deep state wins again.
I hate to say it but the only way we will restore our republic is by force of arms.
Un-effing believable. If there was ever a situation where “Time is of the essence” means something, this is IT!
It’s that bastard Roberts way of not taking the case.
Now if only Trump would issue an emergency EO pushing the inauguration back a couple of weeks!
useless selfserving seditous Blackrobes
micturate YET AGAIN on the US Constitution
as they abrogate their only responsibility
to serve their Maltese, Chinese, and Ukrainian MASTERS.
Two branches of government are totally corrupt. They are trying to win the Trifecta. America had too options: revolution or submit to my Big Brother
