"Today, an emergency appeal was filed in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the election results in Pennsylvania," said Sen. Cruz. "This appeal raises serious legal issues, and I believe the Court should hear the case on an expedited basis." On Monday, he volunteered to argue the case for the appellants, if they wished.
Not waiting to see if SCOTUS would "grant cert" (certiorari) in that case, the State of Texas last night filed a lawsuit directly with the Supreme Court challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.
Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures.
Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.
Finally, Texas argues that, as a result of the illegal changes to voting procedures, there were "voting irregularities" -- putting it mildly -- in those states.
So it would seem that, one way or another, the Supreme Court is going to have to examine the results of the deeply flawed 2020 election, whether the Democrats and their sycophants in the controlled media like it or not.
The prospect of a redo looms sufficiently large to provoke a debate at an emergency meeting of the Mudge Country Current Affairs and Historical Society, of which Walt happens to be Recording Secretary. Here are the minutes of last night's meeting, held in the Naughty Pine Room of the Paris Hilton. [The Paris in America, not the French one. Ed.]
Mr Whiteman read the minutes of the previous meeting at which it was decided that the situation created by the recent elections demanded that every citizen bend his thoughts to the question of how the parties should conduct themselves in the next critical few months, after which coffee and sandwiches were served.
Moved by Mrs Chodinecki, seconded by Dr McInerney, that the minutes be accepted as read. Carried. Mrs Chodinecki said she would also like to say a special word of thanks to the ladies of the CWL (of which she is President) for the coffee and sandwiches. Carried.
Wilson Huang moved, seconded by our local Rep. Algonquin J. Calhoun, that a telegram be sent to Joe Biden urging him to take all precautions, between now and January 20th, to avoid tripping over his dog again or otherwise imminentizing his demise, which would lead to a constitutional crisis over whether a Vice-President could be sworn in to replace a President who had not been sworn in.
As President of the VU (Vizmins United) of Mudge County, Mr Huang said he felt sure the people weren't psychologically or financially ready for another election. In his own case, Mr Huang continued, he had been called upon during the recent electoral activity by the representatives of both parties and (looking at Mr Calhoun) one Independent, for donations of fortune cookies to be served at coffee parties (of not more than 10). As a result, he expected his fortune-cookie account to be in a deficit position for at least six months.
Johnny Crapaud rose -- just barely -- on a point of order, calling the motion gratuitous, ill-considered, insulting, inflammatory, irrelevant, immaterial and ridiculous, not to mention uncalled for an unnecessary. That being the case, he said, copies should be sent to both Mr Biden and President Trump. Mr Crapaud was ruled out of order, as indeed he was, in all respects.
Mr Calhoun said he craved the indulgence of the chair to say a few words in behalf of the proposition to which he, along with Mr Huang, the distinguished restauranteur, had lent their names and for which they were desirous of the widest expression of support. (Not for nothing is Mr Calhoun known as "the golden-voiced tribune of the prairie".)
Mr Calhoun said that he, as a responsible statesman, was keen to see the electoral impasse cleared away so that a great nation might not be impeded in any way in its inexorable march toward the sunny uplands of a brighter tomorrow. Nevertheless, he recognized it as his bounden duty, having offered himself for yet another two years, not to stop one day short of the contract period.
Irving Greenslade, speaking for the Downtown Businesspersons Association, said that no man or woman or other was more desirous than he of seeing the nation achieve the sunny uplands of a brighter tomorrow -- in fact he already had in stock a number of fine summer-weight fabrics which the well-dressed gentleman would wear when we got there -- but that he believed the situation needed to be resolved decisively at the earliest possible moment.
Consequently, Mr Greenslade suggested, a petition should be sent to both President Trump and "President-elect" Biden calling on them to take office together, in a Government of National Unity (GNU), turning the White House into a condominium and occupying the Oval Office on alternate days. That would result in a virtual deadlock, which would have the salubrious effect of preventing the federal government from doing anything more to for the nation in this time of crisis.
Dr McInerney said that as far as he was concerned, no GNUs is good GNUs, and he therefore moved that preceding motions and suggestions be tabled, for further consideration at a date to be fixed by the President (of the MCCAHS). Carried. God save the United States of America!
This is important, because this case is not about voter fraud -- not to say that there hasn't been any! -- but about the constitutionality of decisions taken in Pennsylvania, Georgia and other states to allow mail-in ballots and/or extend the time in which ballots could be received. That's the issue that could well upset the Democrats' cart of poisoned apples!
