Trump's Legal Team Considering Alternate Options After Supreme Court Rejects Texas Election Suit

preview

Share NowAttorneys on President Donald ’s legal team, and , shared on Friday that the team is considering filing separate lawsuits to district courts in the wake of the U.S. ’s rejection of a lawsuit from to challenge the 2020 election results in four battleground states. The two attorneys also called for courage from the courts to allow hearings on the lawsuits.Justices on the nation’s highest court late Friday denied the Lone Star state’s Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin. that Texas lacked legal standing—or capability—to sue under the Constitution because it has not shown a valid interest to intervene in how other states handle their elections.In an interview with Newsmax, Giuliani called the court’s decision a “terrible terrible mistake.”“Basically the courts are saying they want to stay out of this, they don’t want to give us a hearing, they don’t want the American people to hear the facts,” the former New York City mayor said. “These facts will remain an open sore in our history unless they get resolved. They need to be heard they need to be aired and somebody needs to make a decision on whether they’re true or false. And some courts are going to have to have the courage to make that decision.”“The case wasn’t rejected on the merits the case was rejected on standing,” Giuliani said. “The answer to that is to bring the case now to the district court by the president by some of electors alleging the same facts where there would be standing and therefore get a hearing.”“There’s nothing that prevents us from filing these cases immediately in the district court, in which the president would have standing,” he continued. “Some of the electors would have standing in that their constitutional rights have been violated.”Ellis, a Trump campaign senior legal adviser, told Newsmax that there is still a “line of attack.”“The mayor said that we’ve contemplated filing this as separate lawsuit in district court because obviously the president himself would have standing. It’s amazing to think that these other states, these voters who are disenfranchised, wouldn’t,” she said.She signaled that the team still has time up until Jan. 6 when Congress officially counts the Electoral College votes.“That date in January. That’s the date of ultimate significance. And the Supreme Court has recognized that,” she said. “We still have time, the state legislatures still have time to do the right thing. They can inquire, they can hold hearings, they can reclaim their delegates, and they should and I hope that now all of the evidence we have brought forth in these hearings will give them the inspiration and courage that they need to act.”Ellis said that what has transpired is “a moral failure” across all three branches of government.“First you have the executive branch. The problem there is that they changed the rules. We know that, we have the clear evidence that shows that,” she said. “Then the state legislators—there are significant number of them in the swing states that want to do the right thing, they want to exercise their Article II authority, but it’s been leadership that’s refusing to do the constitutionally appropriate thing.”She called the Supreme Court’s decision one that appears to be “on a political whim.”“How they could pass on this I think is shocking. I think it’s morally outrageous,” she said.“I think that regardless of the outcome here we’re going to continue to do the right thing,” Ellis added. “President Trump is courageous, he is standing for truth, the Constitution, election integrity, and it is always a fight that is worth fighting.”Giuliani stressed the need for the courts to hear evidence filed by lawsuits challenging election results.“These facts need to be heard,” he said. “Because this kind of voter fraud can continue to go on if it is not nipped in the bud.&nbsp;If we don’t stand up to it, if we allow the big media, the big tech, the Democrat politicians, and the Washington elite—if we allow them to roll over this, it’s going to get worse and worse and worse.“This is the worst in our history so far, and it’s got to be stopped. And I think the only person who has the courage to stand up to it is Donald Trump.&nbsp;We’re not finished, believe me.”&nbsp;filed on Dec. 8 alleged that the defendant states of Georgia, Michigan ,Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, had illegally changed election laws in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Electors Clause, which allegedly resulted in voting irregularities and opened up the potential for fraud due to ballot integrity protections under state law having been removed.The president has a number of ongoing legal challenges in state and federal courts, some of which are making their way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Several lawsuits filed by third parties and attorney Sidney Powell are also proceeding through the judicial system.Democrat Joe Biden has declared victory in the presidential election and media outlets have been referring to him as “president-elect.” The Epoch Times won’t declare a winner of the 2020 presidential election until all results are certified and any legal challenges are resolved.Janita Kan contributed to this report.Read More
