Brunson v. Adams was filed out of Ogden Utah. The case has been accepted for review by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS.)
What is this case about? How does it concern me?
Following the 2020 election, certain legislators, Senators and others brought forward evidence and claims suggesting there was some sort of malfeasance during the 2020 election.
Once these claims and evidence were brought forward following the election, Congress was required to pause in order to investigate and ascertain the validity of these concerns. Among other things, this pause would have delayed the January 6th vote by Congress to certify the Electors and thus confirm the results of the election and next President of the United States.
Mike Pence and members of Congress voted NOT to pause nor did they implement an investigation surrounding these claims. Congress proceeded to confirm the Electors and their votes and name Joe Biden as newly elected President.
The case asserts that by failing to fulfill the requirement to investigate, all those who refused to investigate failed to fulfill their Oaths to protect the Country and Constitution. Failure to protect the Country is tantamount to committing treason. Consequently, these officials are open to investigation on such charges and if found guilty they could face the associated penalties.
The case asks that all those who failed to protect the Country be immediately removed from office and barred from holding future public office for the remainder of their lives. This would potentially include the President, Vice President and more than 380 members of Congress. Were this to be granted it could be followed by further investigation into their actions which could lead to criminal proceedings.
Why is this case now before the Supreme Court?
The Supreme Court has thousands of cases brought to it for review each year. It is the Court’s decision which cases to take on and typically they review a relatively small number (several hundred per year of the thousands submitted.)
This case is before SCOTUS because they CHOSE to review this case.
Why would this case of all of those brought forward be one of those chosen for review? Most Constitutional professors and those familiar with the Supreme Court would suggest that the Court would be extremely unlikely to take this case on. It’s too controversial, too volatile, too outlandish. So the question remains “why did they agree to review this case?”
Who asked for Congress to pause and investigate?
During the first week of January 2021, prior to January 6th, amidst numerous instances of emerging evidence and concerns, U.S. Senators Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, James Lankford, Steve Daines, Marsha Blackburn, and Mike Braun, along with Senators-Elect Cynthia Lummis, Roger Marshall, Bill Hagerty and Tommy Tuberville, issued a statement calling for a 10-day pause in the Electoral process, and further asked Congress to appoint an Electoral Commission and to perform an emergency audit on the election results from the disputed States.
As one of our Freepers posted earlier, if you have the correct paperwork, your case will be accepted by the Sup.Ct. clerks. The odds of the Sup.Ct. actually reviewing and ruling on the case are 1000:1 against.
This is the third time I’ve seen this same story posted on FR withing the past few days. The Sup.Ct has not agreed to hear the case. Thousands of cases get dismissed every year with no review or ruling, and this is likely to be one of those.
gonna be a big Nothing Burger.

Original FR thread on this... some more discussion and links to good stuff
I know all about this case, but what I want to know is “Do we have any idea when the next step will happen?”
Watch the Loy interview, and this is discussed.
It will be conferenced. No day for it is public.
Reconcile that with the fact that SCOTUS has contacted one or more of the Brunson’s multiple times, even asking to expedite a filing modification.
18 USC 1918 outlines the penalties for Congress critters violating the above US Code…fines, imprisonment for one year or both.
Tied to the 18 USC 1918 is an Executive Order that investigations related to 5 USC 7311 are to be reserved to the FIB.
I don’t think the Supreme Court wants to touch it.
But it’s a good argument.
LOL. It's before SCOTUS because these yahoos sent it in and a clerk recorded it.
If anyone spends more than a minute with this mess it will be a clerk, and the bros will never be granted cert.

The Supreme Court receives about 10,000 cases a year. It hears about 80. In this case, the materials have been received. It is one of 10,000 cases - or about 300/DAY - that file with the Supreme Court.
However, it is considered so off-the-wall that the Solicitor General has declined to offer a response. She just doesn’t care. It isn’t worth the time. Why? Because she knows it is going nowhere.
And now everybody's happy.
