UPDATED: Trump Moves To Intervene In PA GOP Lawsuit
That lawsuit is the one brought by the PA Republicans, challenging the PA Supreme Court's rewriting of the State's election law. That lawsuit was brought before Justice Amy was confirmed and was rejected on a 4-4 vote, with CJ Roberts siding with the liberals. A request for an expedited rehearing was filed last week but was, once again, rejected on a 4-4 vote--rejected as to the expedited portion of the motion, not as to a possible rehearing. Justice Amy again did not participate because she had not yet assumed her Court duties. That has changed, and Justice Amy should be participating in the lawsuit going forward.
The news is that, to move this along, President Trump has filed a motion to intervene in the case, obviously on the side of the PA Republicans. The SCOTUS has ordered the Dems and PA to respond to that motion by Thursday.
According to the Washington Times :
“This is an open invitation to voters to cast their ballots after Election Day, thereby injecting chaos and the potential for gamesmanship into what had been an orderly and secure schedule of clear, bright-line deadlines,” the Republicans argued.
Mr. Trump filed a motion Wednesday to get involved in the suit, claiming that how Pennsylvania goes could decide the presidential election and that the high court should settle the conflict over the ballot extension quickly.
I assume this is the first step taken by Team Giuliani.
UPDATE: As we saw in SWC's two articles and other articles and blogs today, there are clear indicators of fraudulent turnout. Just now TGP did a little comparison of WI and MN. I'd been wondering about MN--it seemed absolutely ripe for a good Trump showing. Instead, Trump seemed to do much worse than 2016, after the states's only real metro area was absolutely trashed by Leftists. It didn't add up. And that's what TGP is saying too. Will Team Trump be showing this kind of evidence and arguing it to the SCOTUS? Multiple states all of a sudden having a spike in turnout to unheard of levels?
Two tables. The first compares turnout in various states to show just how anomalous the WI and MN turnout are:
And the second is an historical comparison of turnout in WI and MN:
Nope. Not adding up. I'd like to think the SCOTUS will have something to say if lower courts don't. It's just way to in-your-face.
