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...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz (R-PA) should not go after his opponent, Democratic Senate candidate Lt. Gov John Fetterman (D-PA), because of the Hippocratic Oath. Behar said, “The Republican Party is running a bunch of ads about showing Fetterman stumbling on things because of the stroke.
