There is no obligation for Pence to respond if the action is filed in the wrong Court...
Phil Cline hasn’t filed in the wrong court.
Here’s the back chatter:
Pence is to play along with temporarily suspending the Elector count because he’s being sued for participating in an unconstitutional process of fraud.
Pence will stick his tongue in cheek and say “golly gee I can’t count those Electors because I am a defendant in a fraud case.”
The Democrats will go into clinical apoplexy. Republicans will demand they show there’s no fraud.
Democrat lawyers will storm the Supreme Court and demand that Pence count Biden’s fraudulent Electors.
The benefit is to gain time.
There is a concurrent full court press on state legislatures to have them rescind Biden Electors and bring his EC total to less than 270 thereby bringing the election under the 12th Amendment where Trump wins.
AZ and GA are already moving in that direction led by an outraged citizenry that is not going away. WI is also erupting with legislative chaos. AZ, GA, WI alone bring Biden to less than 270.
It’s going to be quite the show.
Notables in the background say it is brilliant because it allows Pence to look hurt and prone to injury giving him a chance to raise his hands palms up with a “what do I do?” look.
