While there has been much public attention on the U.S. Supreme Court’s present consideration of the “independent state legislature” theory in Moore v. Harper involving North Carolina’s redistricting, that case would not immediately upend the 2020 Presidential Election. In contrast, a little-known case that appeared recently on the Court docket could do just that. The case of Brunson v. Adams, not even reported in the mainstream media, was filed pro se by ordinary American citizens – four brothers from Utah — seeking the removal of President Biden and Vice President Harris, along with 291 U.S. Representatives and 94 U.S. Senators who voted to certify the Electors to the Electoral College on January 6, 2021 without first investigating serious allegations of election fraud in half a dozen states and foreign election interference and breach of national security in the 2020 Presidential Election. The outcome of such relief would presumably be to restore Donald Trump to the presidency.
The important national security interests implicated in this case allowed the Brunsons to bypass an appeal that was frozen at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit and get the case to the Supreme Court which has now scheduled a hearing for January 6, 2023. The Brunson Petition for a Writ of Certiorari would require the votes of only four Justices to move the case forward.
It seems astounding that the Court would wade into such waters two years to the day after the Congressional vote to install Joe Biden as President. But these are not normal times. Democrats may well push legislation in this month’s lame duck session of Congress to impose term limits and a mandatory retirement age for Justices, and thereby open the door to packing the Court. Such a course would seem to be clear violations of Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution which provides that Justices “shall hold their Offices during good Behavior.” In addition to such institutional threats to the Supreme Court, several Justices and their families have been living under constant threats to their personal security since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Would this also cause the removal of any federal judges nominated and confirmed
Never ever ever ever ever ever ever gonna happen. Period. Full stop. Quit hoping for unicorn farts and fairy kisses.
Aren’t the people of Brazil kind of going the same route?
Schumer’s stated ambitions may motive some to consider.
Sweet! But the damage is already done.
Heaven, please help us! 🌲
How glorious this would be!
Good for them for at least trying. They deserve more credit than those who just vent on social media about 2020.
I am assuming that some sort of bureaucrat decides what even even makes it as far as the docket.
I imagine the two anti-uniparty judges would be willing to hear if they saw a point. The question is whether two of the three squishes would be willing ot hear, and if the third squish might become persuadable.
No doubt the four uniparty judges would be against, though Roberts might ultimately concur in part if either told to do so or there was an advantage in it for him.
Not this sh*t again. All that has happened is that this petition for certiorari has been submitted by the petitioners and dutifully filed and docketed by the Clerk of the Supreme Court . . . as the Clerk will always do for any petition that meets the Court's bare minimum standards for formatting, etc.
The petition is now scheduled to go to Conference on January 6, 2023, where, yes, it will be "considered" by the Justices, to see if they wish to take up the case. That is to say, the petition will be handled just as every single cert. petition that ever gets filed -- including those written out, long-hand, by jail house lawyers on lined paper who are allowed to proceed in forma pauperis -- gets handled.
In short, there is nothing whatsoever that is "astounding" here. The petition will surely be very quickly denied by the Court following the Conference next month, and that'll be the end of that.
You know, if people just had some understanding of how things actually work, they wouldn't be forever getting their panties in a bunch whenever some shyster charlatan spits out another bogus story like this. Wise up yourselves.
This lawsuit is about as realistic as was that show.
It’s too good to believe that 291 U.S. Representatives and 94 U.S. Senators could be removed from office for nonfeasance of constitutional duties, but it would be awesome if it were to happen.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with you, but it would be nice.
I read about this case the other day.
The article I read stated that this was about SCOTUS affirming the the legislature make the rules, not the courts.
I guess, one could argue that if the NC Legislature wins, then the Republicans in Pennsylvania could make a case that they, not the Pa Supreme Ct nor the SecState, makes the rules and all those ballots would be tossed. Stretch, but one that can be attempted, I’m guessing.
But, from some of the attached citations I read, the language is pretty clear that the legislature makes the rules and the courts have no say in anything.
We’ll see.
You'd be wrong. The docket is just the written record of every case that has been filed, and its disposition, relevant orders, etc.. It's clerical.
Heaven, please help us! 🌲
Amen Sister.....Only GOD can deliver this evil from our midst
I like being wrong publicly if it means I learn something.
Does a computer accept the filing or a person? I understood from the article that some steps were being skipped (various levels of court), which either means a person decided to allow the skips to be stepped, or they were able to check a box on a computer program that claimed exemption from the steps.
Which was it? If one gets past the person or the computer is the next step collecting four judges?
“The case of Brunson v. Adams” must be taken and will be taken by the Courts, since it is 100% solid and easy to close. Very simple to see how the Brunson v. Adams case can easily clean up damage and punish traitors. Good news: Guantanamo Bay sees new construction after prison ordered shut by failures in DC.
