Alito Moves Up Deadline For Supreme Court Briefing In Pennsylvania Case, Bringing Within 'Safe Harbor' Window To Intervene

Analysis of the linked article via ZeroHedge: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/alito-moves-deadline-supreme-court-briefing-pennsylvania-case-bringing-within-safe-harbor

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has made a critical decision which may signal that court's willingness to hear a controversial case attempting to flip Pennsylvania's 2020 election results.

Originally, Alito set a Wednesday deadline for the state to respond to GOP Rep. Mike Kelly's lawsuit alleging that a 2019 state election reform, known as Act 77, violates both the state and federal constitutions by creating a so-called "no-excuse mail-in" voting regime.

Many took the Wednesday deadline as political theater, as it would place the case outside the "safe harbor" window which requires that controversies "concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors . . . by judicial or other methods or procedures" to be determined" at least six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors," according to Law & Crime.

In other words, the Tuesday deadline may signal that the Supreme Court takes Kelly's case, which was rejected by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court with prejudice last weekend.

My opinion: Thank the Pennsylvania Legislature for having crafted an opinion disputing the election result, but refusing the appointment of electors, as that choice avoided the application of the law imposing a deadline. As Pennsylvania's decision enabled a failure to act, leaving controversies unresolved, that obviated the time limits on actions by avoiding action... which rendered the ruse of delaying until after the deadline moot. The court was unable to dodge its responsibility that way... so now has opted to drop the ruse.

Agree..& then the domino effect with the other contested states.
SCOTUS can’t punt on this one, I hope they understand the gravity

Good points all but I’m not holding my breath. I think we have lost, lost to never regain our voice, lost to always be ruled over by people we do not grant the power to do so.

It was a great country while it lasted. I’m praying that I’m wrong but I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

The option of civil war is open.
I personally would rather be dead than live under a communist country.
Defeatist attitude never got the patriots of this country ANY WHERE.

I would expect an unfortunate 'accident' to happen any day now on the Turnpike.

You’re saying that the ruse was to make the PA legislature do it’s duty?
