IT’S HAPPENING: US Supreme Court Schedules Pennsylvania Election Case, Sidney Powell’s Case & Lin Wood’s Case for Feb 19
The cases include challenges to the 2020 election from Trump-aligned lawyers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, as well as Republican Rep. Mike Kelly’s Pennsylvania lawsuit. Nearly every lawsuit takes issue with the expanded use of mail-in ballots by many states.
The decision came after the court declined to fast-track all election-related litigation in early January.
In nearly every plea for expedition, lawyers backing former President Donald Trump told the court that if the cases were not heard before President Biden’s inauguration, their success would be unlikely.
But after the court pushed them off, many lawyers said that the challenges were still important and could have long-term implications for election fairness. Trump lawyer John Eastman told the Washington Examiner that even with Trump out of office, it was important to settle the issues raised by expanded mail-in voting.
Reposted from Have Your Say board due to relevance:
The election challenge by Texas was refused by the Supreme Court on the grounds they don’t have standing. That leaves the only people who do have standing to be Trump (if he intends to run again) & Pennsylvania voters. If they can ban Trump from running again via impeachment then he no longer has standing and his Supreme Court case can be thrown out. This means that no one can challenge the dishonest methods used to cheat in the election and opens the way for the Demoncrats to do exactly the same thing in all subsequent elections.
The system is dirty. Same as it is here.
