MOTION OF DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, TO INTERVENE IN HIS PERSONAL CAPACITY AS CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION, PROPOSED BILL OF COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTION, AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO INTERVENE

SCOTUS ^ | 12/9/2020

[tarpit]

Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, respectfully seeks leave to intervene in the pending original jurisdiction matter of State of Texas v. Com-monwealth of Pennsylvania,et al., No. 22O155 (filed Dec. 7, 2020). Plaintiff in Intervention seeks leave to file the ac-companying Bill of Complaint in Intervention against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the States of Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin (“Defendant States”), challenging their administration of the 2020 presidential election.

I am curious as to why Texas didn’t bring this suit sooner, like before the election. And what the court will have to say about it.

To soon, and the claim and thus the suit isn't ripe. The lower court's have been playing games with laches and mootness. If necessary, Texas and others could argue that it wasn't foreseeable that defendats would act as they did, or that it would materially affect the election. Conclussions like laches are used against disfavored litigants. I wouldn't expect that from SCOTUS in this case, at least not from the majority.

Let’s finish this.

This will drive the Criminal Cheeter Deepers nuts.

Brilliant!!

I think that, no matter what, the GOP will have to thread the needle between those Trump attracted to the party and those who have been in the party for a long time.

I truly do not see these legislatures or Congress going against the vote. That would be the ultimate political suicide as a lot of independent would not be happy.

Posting just to be on the possibly MOST HISTORIC thread ever. Ya, I was there...

Best line of the thread!

It wasn’t forseeable? Really? Even Trump was flipping out about the changes and suspected it would impact the election.

I am simply amazed at all these defeatist losers who don’t even have a real argument other than self pity.

I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, and very few posters do either. But 17 AGs have an excellent case with sound reasoning and there are powerful reasons for the SC to take this seriously, not the least of these is self interest.

Maybe all that isn’t enough but I see no reason to borrow trouble and fixate on a worst case scenario.

[Dr. Franklin]

It wasn’t forseeable?

Have we ever had voter fraud of this scale, maybe millions of ballots, across several states? The Court won't call this foreseeable, or penalize a state or a presidential candidate from not having acted sooner. The election was a national embarrasment. SCOTUS won't add to that. The eyes of the world are now on SCOTUS!

Perfectly stated. This place is filled with failure addicts!

Thank you for posting the link. This is not unexpected but still very interesting.

Just as Republican Senators, except Romney, voted against impeachment, so will the US House of Representatives vote for Trump.

The Republican Party knows it would be political suicide to do otherwise.

What does the legalese BS mean?

[KTM rider]

where is the FBI and state police in this ?

there was a crime committed within their jurisdictions but they just look the other way.

does that not make them accessories to the crime ?

[crazycat]

Well said.....indeed if not for cases such as this, just what is the Supreme Court for.

[Jane Long]

Thanks!!!

[PerConPat]

I can't think of more likely scenarios than yours. I do, however, believe a route to the House for a contingent election for president would go through both the House and Senate during the session to count/challenge electoral votes.

[hawkaw]

Okay. Well. Good luck with it all.

[Safrguns]

lol.. yeah... i was just joking.
