President Donald Trump (Trump) tweeted on Dec. 18, “I’m very disappointed in the U.S. Supreme Court, and so is our great country!” It was not immediately clear which incident Trump was referring to.
Prominent attorney Lin Wood later retweeted Trump’s above tweet and responded, “Yes, so are we (very disappointed in the U.S. Supreme Court), Mr. President Trump. Yes, so are we.”
The day before Linwood had tweeted, “Justice Roberts said in a phone conversation discussing President Trump on August 19 that he was going to make sure ‘that asshole’ was not re-elected. Roberts was on the phone with Justice Stephen Breyer discussing how to get Trump down.”
In another tweet, he said he had confirmed the truth and had turned over the documents to several third parties.
Linwood is working with former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell to launch a lawsuit against several swing states. Powell said Dec. 17 that the federal Supreme Court dismissed her team’s lawsuit alleging election fraud in Wisconsin and Arizona, and filed lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia that will not be resolved until mid-January.
Earlier, on Dec. 12, the federal Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by Texas against four swing states. Trump then said the Supreme Court “has no wisdom, no courage.”
The Texas lawsuit was backed by 18 state prosecutors and 126 House members. The lawsuit alleges that Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin unconstitutionally changed their election laws; treated voters unfairly; and weakened protections for the integrity of vote-by-mail ballots, leading to voting irregularities and election fraud.
The Supreme Court said Texas had no legal standing to sue the four swing states and that the election actions of the other states were not connected to Texas’ interest in justice.
The Supreme Court’s vote to dismiss the Texas lawsuit was 7 to 2. The two justices who agreed to hear the lawsuit were Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. They issued a statement rejecting the Supreme Court’s ruling: “It is the Supreme Court’s duty to hear interstate litigation.”
Trump later tweeted, “The Supreme Court has let us down. No wisdom, no courage.”
In another tweet, Trump said, “This was a major, shameful miscarriage of justice. The American people have been cheated and our country has been shamed by it. The courts have never listened to us!”
Since Election Day on Nov. 3, the Trump team and third-party groups have continued to launch legal challenges in six swing states, all to no avail.
White House Trade and Industry Counsel Peter Navarro released a report on Dec. 17 detailing election irregularities in the six swing states. The report concluded that, depending on the severity of the irregularities, an urgent investigation was necessary, which would likely change the outcome of the election.
In the report, Navarro said, “If these election irregularities are not fully investigated before the day the president is sworn in, and if they are allowed to exist, America will be in real danger of never having a fair presidential election.”
