Appeals court rejects Trump campaign’s Pennsylvania lawsuit, setting up Supreme Court next

Just The News: The Trump 2020 campaign’s legal team suffered another blow in court on Friday, as a federal appeals court in Philadelphia rejected the attorneys’ effort to contest the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania.

Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote on behalf of the three-judge panel that reviewed the appeal, “Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.” 

Trump’s attorneys have vowed to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, despite the round dismissal from the appeals court.

Senior strategy adviser for the Trump campaign Steve Cortes told Just the News that “We will be appealing to the United States Supreme Court, which has always been where we wanted to end up. The sooner the better. We want to make these cases before the high court and we believe we have a compelling argument to make.” more

  1. What he said:

    Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.

    What I “heard”:

    Fair and impartial judges are the lifeblood of our republic. Charges of unfairness are serious. But we didn’t do it. We weren’t there. You can’t prove it. Nobody saw us. That’s our story and we’re stickin’ to it.

  2. The PA legislature had problems with the election since before the vote, but the judges then were all, ‘meh’, and I guess these 3 judges go to the same cocktail parties or they’re scared spineless.

  3. None of this surprises me. MJA says they might be ‘scared shitless’. That’s been my position all along. No judge will call this for the President. They will be doxed, harassed, and possibly murdered by the mob of ‘peaceful protestors’ along with their families if they do. i don’t expect the SCOTUS to be much help either, regardless of its makeup.

    Self preservation is a strong motivator. Get ready for a, gulp, Biden presidency. To be followed by a Harris administration within 90 days.

    God help us.

    Sorry to be such a negative nancy. Sorry to the Nancy’s of the world.

  4. I’m surprised at the strength of the rejection by the judges, given that they are all Republican-appointed, and I believe one was appointed by Trump. After watching the PA senate hearing last Wednesday, I don’t know how any judge can say there is no evidence. Hmmm . . .

  5. i’m sure some of these judges wouldve ruled for the British in 1776.

    You can bet the majority of mcconnells judge appointments that the senates been making for 3.5 years will be of the john cuck roberts wing of the rino party vs the Barrett wing of constitutionalists.

    Trump for the win 2020

  6. Maybe it was too hot of a potato, and they’re doing Trump a favor by kicking it to the supreme Court?
    This thing sure has taken a lot of twists and turns.
    David and Goliath part two.

  7. +1 for Toenex.

    By threatening anyone and everyone who does anything other that kiss the Biden ring, the left has effectively erased all chances of these cases being slow-walked through lower courts and preventing SCOTUS from hearing them before the inauguration.

    Unintended consequences can be delicious sometimes.
