President Donald Trump’s campaign lawyers said Saturday they would file an appeal to the Third Circuit court after a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit to challenge the results of the election in Pennsylvania.
Trump 2020 attorneys former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis said in a statement:
Today’s decision turns out to help us in our strategy to get expeditiously to the U.S. Supreme Court. Although we fully disagree with this opinion, we’re thankful to the Obama-appointed judge for making this anticipated decision quickly, rather than simply trying to run out the clock.
The lawsuit argued that the legal guarantee of “equal protection under the law” was violated after counties where voters were primarily Democrats took different approaches than counties where voters were primarily Republicans to help voters with problems with their mail-in ballots.
U.S. Middle District Judge Matthew Brann dismissed the suit on Saturday “with prejudice,” issuing a stinging rebuke to the campaign for trying to “disenfranchise almost seven million voters.” He wrote:
One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens. That has not happened.
Ellis and Giuliani argued that their evidence showed that 682,777 ballots in Pennsylvania were cast illegally, after poll workers denied the Republican party’s right to independent review, and said they wished to present their evidence in court.
“This is just an extension of the Big Tech, Big Media, Corrupt Democrat censorship of damning facts the American public needs to know,” they wrote.

I think it was a well-placed dig.
Law is law!
We are going to decide if we are a nation or laws or not.
If the SCOTUS fails us it is time for the blood letting.
Do you think old people are weak?
“We are going to decide if we are a nation of laws or not.
If the SCOTUS fails us it is time for the blood letting.”
Sadly, I think ultimately this SCOTUS will fail us. Roberts and at least one (and likely 2) of Trump’s 3 appointments will rule against him. There will be much virtue signaling from this contrarian group. This is how “conservative” SCOTUS appointments “evolve”.
No.
U.S. Middle District Judge Matthew Brann dismissed the suit on Saturday “with prejudice,” issuing a stinging rebuke to the campaign for trying to “disenfranchise almost seven million voters.”
And so we have the judicial playbook going forward.
One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens. That has not happened.
Thanks.
If our side had an emotional visual narrative, it would be Trump and Rudy in the shadow of God almighty.
Bravery is in actions of men who are sinners, men both in the fires of flesh, they fall short of perfection as we all do, they will overcome shortcomings and win an even higher glory for God because, of that very fact that God can carry the truth, even in the flesh of men.
This is a battle beyond our sight.
Hey, your “dishonor”, you don’t have to show rampant corruption. The case was simple. Over 600,000 votes were received after 8 PM. State law says votes after 8 PM are invalid. The Constitution gives sole power to the legislature on how elections are run. No governor of SOS can override that. So it would have been a straight forward ruling if you were not a hack.
1. This Obama judge in Pennsylvania is outrageous. I read the complaint. It was full of affidavits and serious constitutional issues that absolutely overcame a motion to dismiss.2. There was unquestionably a reasonable basis in fact and law to proceed, and to allow the Trump campaign's lawyers to conduct immediate discovery. This is a miscarriage of justice. And the judge's opinion reads as if it was written for the media.
3. The problem the Trump campaign is facing now is the unwillingness of judges to actually do their jobs, certainly in this case, and certainly in the case of the U.S. Supreme Court, where the chief justice failed to do his job..
4. ..and uphold Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which states explicitly that the state legislatures, not judges or governors, make election laws. I hope the Trump campaign seeks an emergency appeal to the circuit court.
5. But I am increasingly worried about the judiciary buckling to the media and Democrat Party pressure. After all, it is a lot easier for a judge to kill a case then take it up and follow it through, particularly in these critical cases.
I hope they’re not counting on SCOTUS for anything. The fact that the RATs aren’t challenging anything, and are keeping quiet, seems to show that the fix is in. It’s exactly like when nobody was campaigning for Biden; they didn’t have to. The fix was in.
Brann is not Obama’s pick. They were doing paired nomination in 2012 and Brann is a Federalist Society judge picked by Senator Pat Toomey (R).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_W._Brann
“He also spent years as a Republican Party official in Pennsylvania and was active in the Federalist Society and National Rifle Association.”
“Brann was recommended by Republican Senator Pat Toomey as part of a paired nomination with a recommendation by Democratic Senator Bob Casey Jr.”
I think lawyers who haven't been in a courtroom for 30 years should let more experienced attorney's handle the cases. Reading the judges decision he was pretty hard on Rudy's mistakes.
The fact that the RATs aren’t challenging anything, and are keeping quiet, seems to show that .........

Has anyone on their side come out with any explanation as to (for example) why the machines just shut down on election night? Why they taped cardboard to the windows etc? This seems to be what the rats do now, don’t address/counter anything as I noticed in the former hoaxes. The burden of proof always falls on us!
What factual record exists from such an immediate dismissal that the Supreme Court could possibly rule on? Was their testimony and physical evidence introduced into the record?
Nonsense.
What startles me is the blind faith these useful idiots have in the Uniparty police state. They have fully promoted the establishment of Obama’s reign of terror IC and now cover while our elections are Dominionized. Do they really think that after the Uniparty is in complete control they and their grandchildren will be allowed to continue living the way they have? It is a very select few who are living the good life in Venezuela and 98% of these enabling fools, like this judge, won’t be in that favored class in the American Soviet.
Do Rudys ‘mistakes’ have any bearing on the truth or the law?
I’m not even defending Rudy, I am defending the truth...though, it needs no defending, it needs enforcement.
We the people are stupid when we see evil and do nothing.
Sorta agree.
The preeminent job of President is to defend and uphold the Constitution, the foundational Law of the USA.
The 0bama judge has demonstrated he is not following the State Law.
This decision, I believe, adds gravitas to RICO Rudy’s end game
Not sure where you get that piece of fiction from.
The Dems have challenged everything, attacked Trump lawyers, threatened their families, threathened the witnesses for Trump, threatened the two electors in Wayne County who refused to sign off on the fraudulent elections results etc.
“Has anyone on their side come out with any explanation ...”
No! They’ve said NOTHING. About anything. They bully and torment our side, break the law endlessly, and leave us to clean up their mess. They’re drive-by shooters, without bullets.
