Supreme Court to consider election lawsuits in February
Washington Examiner ^ | Nicholas Rowan February 05, 2021 | Nicholas Rowan

Posted on 02/06/2021 12:22:55 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The Supreme Court on Friday listed several high-profile election lawsuits for consideration at its mid-February conference.

The cases include challenges to the 2020 election from Trump-aligned lawyers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, as well as Republican Rep. Mike Kelly's Pennsylvania lawsuit. Nearly every lawsuit takes issue with the expanded use of mail-in ballots by many states.

The decision came after the court declined to fast-track all election-related litigation in early January.

In nearly every plea for expedition, lawyers backing former President Donald Trump told the court that if the cases were not heard before President Biden's inauguration, their success would be unlikely.

But after the court pushed them off, many lawyers said that the challenges were still important and could have long-term implications for election fairness. Trump lawyer John Eastman told the Washington Examiner that even with Trump out of office, it was important to settle the issues raised by expanded mail-in voting.

"Our legal issue," he said, referring to the way in which Pennsylvania conducted the 2020 election, "remains important and in need of the court’s review."

Similarly, Kelly's lawyer Greg Teufel, told the Washington Examiner after the court refused to hear his case before the inauguration that the 10-year congressman and major Trump ally had no intention of dropping the suit.

As election litigation continues to play out in the courts, many Republican state legislators have begun introducing bills to curb mail-in voting through law.

If the Supreme Court accepts any of the election lawsuits, it is likely that they won't be heard until October.

I’ll bet that the 3 Trump appointed will join forces with the Media-Dem Party judges, including Roberts, and refuse to hear the cases.

Anyone expecting the Supreme Court to uphold its constitutional duties, is a fool. That includes the “conservative” justices appointed by Trump. Our government is at war with us.

No court ruling or any amount of evidence will change anything. The fraud deniers know there was fraud but will never admit it. They’re in way too deep at this point.

a meme this morning asked

“So, you’re telling me that it only took one false whistleblower to impeach TRump, but 1000’s of sworn affidavits, video evidence, more voters than residents in certain counties, and fraudulent ballots arriving in trucks after voting stopped, and ballots not even making it to the counting etc, aren’t enough to even warrant an investigation?”

Another said:

“A Pillow Salesman just dropped far more proof of election fraud than the whole Justice Department did”

of popcorn while smirking and attacking GEOTUS, and
covering up their selling of U1 for a SUMofALLfears.

What’s the win-loss count on these 2020 election fraud court rulings thus far? I’m sure this one will end real differently.

Interesting you should mention “war”. Apparently, a leftist loon on MSNBC recently suggested the government should make drone strikes on red states.

“Dismissed as now mute. A president was inaugurated 20 January 2021.”

I believe you mean MOOT.

But it’s not. The criminal and unconstitutional acts must be brought to light and justice served or it is the end of our Republic.

You may be right. And like with Nazi collaboratiors, that will not save them from the wraith of the left. It will only show that they will abandon their principles very easily when they think it will help them.

The FBI is the police arm of the Deep State and their selected executive. They have no more credence than corrupted cops and deserve NO respect and no cooperation.
They undermined Trump and refused to seriously investigate Hunter Biden and the sphincter with feet, FUJoe. I recall folks saying, well the FBI has the laptop..things are gonna happen. Only thing that happened is that they buried it.

They need to be disbanded completely,,,,but we are stuck with their corrupt asses. And that includes the lower down agents.

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following from related threads.

The misguided, institutionally indoctrinated Roberts Supreme Court wrongly denied Texas and the Trump Campaign due process imo when it refused to hear the Texas v. Pennsylvania et al., case concerning alleged electoral vote counting fraud in December imo.

More specifically, regardless that the Supremes didn't invent the constitutionally undefined "no standing" excuse not to hear cases until Massachusetts v. Mellon, 1923, Justice Joseph Story had previously clarified the following about the state v. state clause.

Based on the experience of the colonies, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had made the Constitution's state versus state clause (3.2.1) to obligate (my word) the Supremes to consider evidence between conflicted states as a last effort try to avoid the worst possible outcome of such a conflict.

From the writings of Justice Joseph Story…

For emphasis, from paragraph 1675 above…

"The same necessity, which gave rise to it in our colonial state, must continue to operate through all future time." —Justice Joseph Story, Article 3, Section 2, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 3,1833, The University of Chicago Press.

Also, consider that the Civil War Union States ignored any electoral votes of the Confederate States for the presidential election of 1864.

"Because eleven Southern states had declared secession from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America, only twenty-five states participated in the election." —Presidential election of 1864

Corrections, insights welcome.

Agreed on all points. But I expect the damned robes to do this anyway. They failed us by ducking the cases earlier evrn when they needed to be decided
