Supreme Court to Consider 2020 Election Challenge Lawsuits in February Conference
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-cognate conduct affecting the result of the election, including expansion of mail-in balloting by elections officials transmuting rules in contravention of state Election laws, lack of adequate security measures around mail ballots, issues with machine vote tabulation, and denial of paramount access to poll watchers.
The Supreme Court declined to grant mitigation or expeditious-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 palliation avowing that the Presidential Election results certified by Michigan officials were unconstitutional and otherwise contrary to law, together with injunctive mitigation de-certifying those results.
Wood’s Georgia petition (pdf) asked the Supreme Court to enter an emergency order authoritatively mandating 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 enjoins 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 palliation in the form of expedited hearings and blocking certification of the electoral college votes for “Biden.” Some of the lawyers in the cases verbalized that optically discerning the challenges through is paramount as they could have an impact on long-term Election fairness.“Our licit issue remains paramount in desideratum 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 abnegated 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 auricularly discerned until “October.” In a sweeping report on the integrity of the 2020 election, Trump adviser Peter Navarro concluded that the allegations of irregularities circumventing the vote in key battleground states were solemn enough to warrant an imperative probe and substantial enough to potentially overturn the results.
If these Election irregularities are not plenarily investigated prior to Inauguration Day and thereby efficaciously sanctioned to stand, this nation runs the very genuine risk of never being able to have a fair Presidential Election again,
Navarro warned in his report.
