Day late and thus, a dollar short. Will be interesting if The Scotus Justices truly give an appropriate look into what happened and if these facts violated both the Constitution as well as state's own constitutions. Stay tuned.
Supreme Court to Consider 2020 Election Challenge
Lawsuits in February Conference
BY TOM OZIMEK
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday scheduled several high-profile
contest-of-election lawsuits, including ones brought
by attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, and the Trump campaign, for
consideration at its Feb. 19 conference.
According to a case listing, the lawsuits include Sidney Powell’s Michigan case (20-815), the Trump campaign’s Pennsylvania lawsuit (20-845) and Wisconsin lawsuit (20-882), the Pennsylvania lawsuit brought by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) (20-810), and Lin Wood’s Georgia case (20-799).
All cases allege some form of unlawful
election-related conduct affecting the result of the election, including
expansion of mail-in balloting by elections officials changing rules in
contravention of state election laws, lack of adequate security measures around
mail ballots, issues with machine vote tabulation, and denial of meaningful
access to poll watchers.
The Supreme Court declined to grant relief
or fast-track the cases as requested in respective petitions filed ahead of the
Jan. 20 inauguration of President Joe Biden.
Powell’s Michigan petition (pdf) sought “emergency declaratory relief
avowing that the presidential election results certified by Michigan officials
were unconstitutional and otherwise contrary to law, together with injunctive
relief de-certifying those results.”
Wood’s Georgia petition (pdf) asked the Supreme Court to “enter an
emergency order instructing Respondents to de-certify the results of the
General Election for the Office of the President.”
The Kelly petition (pdf) asked the court for an injunction
“that prohibits the Executive-Respondents from taking official action to
tabulate, compute, canvass, certify, or otherwise finalize the results of the
Election.”
The Trump campaign suits similarly called
for emergency injunctive relief in the form of expedited hearings and blocking
certification of the electoral college votes for Biden.
Some of the lawyers in the cases said that
seeing the challenges through is important as they could have an impact on
long-term election fairness.
“Our legal issue remains important in need
of the court’s review,” attorney John Eastman told the Washington Examiner, referring to
Pennsylvania’s conduct during the 2020 election.
Greg Teufel, Kelly’s lawyer, told the
Washington Examiner that the congressman has no intention of dropping the suit.
The Supreme Court has kept its distance
from Trump’s election challenges. In December, it rejected a lawsuit filed by
the Republican attorney general of Texas and backed by Trump seeking to
decertify the election results in four states.
If, at the Feb. 19 conference, the Supreme
Court decides to take up any of the election lawsuits, they most likely won’t
be heard until October.
In a sweeping report on the integrity of the 2020
election, Trump adviser Peter Navarro concluded that the allegations of
irregularities surrounding the vote in key battleground states were serious
enough to warrant an urgent probe and substantial enough to potentially
overturn the results.
“If these election irregularities are not
fully investigated prior to Inauguration Day and thereby effectively allowed to
stand, this nation runs the very real risk of never being able to have a fair
presidential election again,” Navarro warned in his report.
One more circle back and she will be meeting herself.

Everything about Biden is basically either a lie or warmed over toast. His Covid Plan, that was different than Trump's, was a lie. his foreign policy is Obama's warmed over, his economic plan has resulted in high paying unemployment and he reminds me of an old pathetic deer in headlights.

Again my girlfriend asked: "How does the ram knew when the ewe is ready for sex?" I replied: "It's nature. He can smell she is ready." We then went past a cow-field and the bull was mating with the cow. My girlfriend said: "This is odd. They are really going at it. Surely the bull can't smell when she is ready?" I said: "Oh, yes; it's nature . All animals can smell when the female is ready for sex." Anyway, after the walk, I dropped her home and kissed her goodbye.
