Attorney Sidney Powell is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to immediately intervene in her lawsuits challenging the integrity and outcome of the 2020 elections in four states. In an announcement on Friday, Powell said she had filed emergency requests to the nation’s top court, asking the justices to order officials in Georgia, Michigan, and Arizona to immediately de-certify their 2020 election results and to prevent the states’ presidential electors from casting votes in the electoral college. An emergency filing is also anticipated for her Wisconsin case. The filings aim to maintain the status quo in the states in order to...

All the campaign talk about packing the Supreme Court, if not term limits on justices, was by design in the Democrats' election playbook to "intimidate," ... the Supreme Court was sent a message by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party during the election. "And the message was: 'If you overturn this election, we will pack you, and make your Court basically meaningless." ... for why the SCOTUS refused to hear an "original jurisdiction" case put forth by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in Texas v. Pennsylvania. The Court rejected the case on "standing," but there is no...

MADISON - The state Supreme Court showed deep divisions Saturday as it contemplated a final push by President Donald Trump to throw out Democrat Joe Biden's narrow win in Wisconsin. The arguments — a rarity on a weekend — came amid a string of legal setbacks for the president. During the arguments, a federal judge in Milwaukee ruled against Trump, dealing the seventh defeat to Trump and his allies in 10 days over Wisconsin's results. The three liberals on the state's high court showed extreme skepticism toward Trump's arguments. Three conservatives showed some support for at least parts of his...

Trump appeared to be referring to what is known as a contingent election, in which the House of Representatives chooses the next president if no candidate wins an absolute majority of votes in the Electoral College — an outcome that would be more likely if the results in key states were in dispute. -Prez Trump has clearly discussed and been briefed on a strategy to contest the election via Constitutional means, first through the courts and then through House, saying at a Sept. 26 rally in Pennsylvania: “And I don’t want to end up in the Supreme Court and I...

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons Galatians 4:4-5 (King James Version) The Supreme Cowards made their decision of not deciding. When you have a national emergency, which has to be decided by the highest court in the land you look out for the institution rather than America. This is what happens when you choose bureaucrats to rather than problem solvers to do a job. You would think the...

When the flight log, whistleblower testimony, and leaked image are all viewed, it is hard to not reach the conclusion that Chief Justice John Roberts visited Epstein’s island. Personally, I think the evidence is convincing, although I recognize that the images could be fake and the testimony made up. But, if real, it would point to why John Roberts has made the decisions he has made since appointed. He has avoided contentious issues when possible because of blackmail or because he fears being in a situation where he could be blackmailed. When it came down to how to vote, he...

“In a three-sentence order, the court said Texas has no legal standing to sue another state on these grounds…” Thus we acknowledge that we’ve landed at the bottom of the rabbit hole. And the only thing here is a looking glass, through which we reluctantly slip, having no other choice. It leads us to a rigged chess game where all the pawns are kept busy battling each other while the bishops, rooks, knights and royals go about their respective business of collecting all the chits and building up their war chests.The normal rules of the game don’t apply. In fact,...

The Texas suit, later joined by other states, against Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia, was a nice try, but it was always a long shot. Of course SCOTUS would be reluctant to grab so much power by ordering state legislatures to seat the right electors. Why? Because the power is already in the hands of the legislatures to do this. Though we are non-lawyers, let's read these laws together, interpreting them minimally and plainly (something lawyers seem incapable of doing). The first federal law for our purposes, titled "Determination of controversy as to appointment of electors," says: If any State...

Supreme Court shoots down Texas lawsuit, but it isn’t over yetThis decision has dramatic implications for the presidential election, but unless President Trump concedes, there are still plenty of options available.The Supreme Court moved today to dismiss a case brought forth by the state of Texas to delay selection of electors in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia. This is a blow to the Trump campaign’s hopes of correcting the election results that were fabricated by widespread voter fraud. According to the Supreme Court, they denied the request over lack of standing. As The Right Scoop noted:The Supreme Court has DENIED...

While most of the nation is looking to the U.S. Supreme Court on major election issues, the Wisconsin Supreme Court may be the first domino to fall in favor of the President's reelection. The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to hear a the President’s voter fraud case hours after it was shot down by a lower court. And while most in the political world are watching the U.S. Supreme Court very closely, the Wisconsin case may be the best bet for a Trump win as the first major domino to fall in his advantage after the Texas case was dismissed by...

SCOTUS 9-0: Election Day Is One Single Day. Listen to oral argument from Foster v. Love (1997):If the state Legislatures would just sit down for an hour and listen to the oral argument in Foster v. Love, they would have such an easy time understanding their plenary authority was triggered at midnight after Nov. 3rd. (You may listen to the audio here.). Let’s examine some of the transcript:Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: “It is an election, and it seems to me, being an election it conflicts with the Federal single Election Day.” You can’t canvass for days/weeks on end. As Justice...

Regarding the Texas lawsuit against PA,WI, MI and GA there has been much speculation that AJs Alito and Thomas will provide solid support, but Kavanaugh and Gorsuch may waiver. Their opinions supporting denial of the stay of a lower court order blocking efforts to extend the deadline for mail in ballot returns in Wisconsin are very illuminating and show that they, in particular are steadfast patriots. In the opinions supporting denial of a stay of the lower court order Gorsuch [joined by Kavanugh] makes his views clear. Here is what AJ Gorsuch wrote in part: The Constitution provides that state...

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is now one of 126 House Republicans who have signed on to back Texas’ lawsuit attempting to overturn the results of the presidential election. Many Republicans are signing onto the case. The suit from the Texas attorney general, Republican Ken Paxton, demands that the 62 total Electoral College votes in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin be invalidated. The Texas lawsuit claims that the authority to hold an election comes from the U.S. Constitution and therefore any election practice that violates the constitution (such as equal protection) is not permissible. At least 18 different states are...

Idaho's attorney general says he's declining to join a lawsuit filed by Texas seeking to overturn the outcome of the presidential election by invalidating the results in four battleground states Donald Trump lost. Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden in a statement Thursday said the decision is necessary to protect Idaho's sovereignty. Here is the full statement: "I've spent substantial time reviewing Texas's Bill of Complaint so I could fully understand and consider the legal arguments being made. After doing so, I am declining to join this effort. As I have done since the day I took my oath of office...

About two-dozen members and members-elect of the Georgia state House and Senate filed an amici curiae brief supporting Texas’ Supreme Court lawsuit against Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. In a brief (pdf) filed with the court late on Thursday, Georgia state Sens. William Ligon, Greg Dolezal, Brandon Beach, Brandon Jones as well as many more Republican members of the Legislature signed on to support Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s suit that argued the four states made unconstitutional changes to their election laws.

On Monday, Texas filed a motion for leave to file a “Bill of Complaint” with the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge the constitutionality of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin’s administration of the 2020 presidential election. The combined filings, which also include a request for an expedited review and a preliminary injunction, spanned more than 150 pages. Here’s what you need to know about this latest election case.1. This Is Not Bush v. GoreTexas’s lawsuit is a procedural creature differing greatly from the Bush v. Gore case about the 2000 election. Unlike Bush v. Gore, which traveled to the Supreme Court...
