On Dec. 11, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a Texas lawsuit against four key states for allegedly unconstitutional general elections. In response, Trump campaign lawyer and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said the Supreme Court made a terrible mistake and they don’t want the American people to hear the truth. President Trump’s legal battle against fraud will continue.
“This case was not denied on the merits, it was denied on standing,” Giuliani said in a Dec. 11 interview with Newsmax TV’s “Stinchfield” program, “by the president, by some of the electors, in the district court now filing a lawsuit, alleging the same facts that would have standing there and therefore getting a hearing.
Texas Attorney General Paxton 8 took Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia to the Supreme Court, suing those states for unconstitutional election procedures.
On the afternoon of Dec. 11, the federal Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuits. The order reads that the Texas motion for leave to file a petition is denied as unconstitutional under Art.
Giuliani said, “The worst part is that basically the court is saying that they want to stay out of this, they don’t want to give us a chance to hear the facts, they don’t want the American people to hear them.
It’s a terrible, terrible mistake,” he said. Unless it is addressed, these facts will continue to be a public sore in our history. They need to be heard, they need to be aired, and someone needs to make a decision about whether they are true or false, and some court needs to have the courage to make that decision.
President Trump tweeted a video questioning the integrity of the election after the Supreme Court issued its decision on the Texas lawsuit. And he called on the American people to call the legislature and ask them to fight for honest elections.
Justices Samuel Alito and Thomas, the two justices who favored taking up the Texas lawsuit, issued separate statements saying, “In my view, we have no authority to reject a petition that falls within our jurisdiction. See Arizona v. California, 589 U.S. Dist. LEXIS (Feb. 24, 2020) (Thomas J. dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the petition, but would grant no other relief (relief), and I express no opinion on any other issue.
As of Dec. 11, 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives supported the Texas lawsuit, and at least 18 other states have joined in a statement in support of the suit. But of the nine justices, the lawsuit was ultimately dismissed by a 7-2 margin.
The Texas Republican Party then issued an emergency statement condemning the Supreme Court for condoning the swing states’ disregard for the Constitution, while calling on all Constitution-compliant states to unite and form a Constitution-compliant union/United States.
The statement said the Republican Party of Texas will always uphold the Constitution and the rule of law, even if other states fail to do so.
