Trump supporters gather in front of the Supreme Court to protest election fraud and show their support for President Trump in Washington, DC, U.S., Dec. 12, 2020.
The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed two cases alleging election fraud in Wisconsin and Arizona, leading U.S. attorney Sidney Powell said Thursday (Dec. 17), adding that the Supreme Court has filed the cases in Michigan and Georgia, but will not hear anything until mid-January.
According to a tweet from Powell’s attorney, the Supreme Court’s “electronic filing system shows that our emergency petitions against Georgia and Michigan are on file.” But Powell said the Supreme Court is dragging its feet, giving defendants Georgia and Michigan until Jan. 14 to respond.
That means the Supreme Court won’t decide whether to hear the case until mid-January at the earliest.
Powell also said the Supreme Court rejected, without explanation, emergency petitions filed by her team against Arizona and Wisconsin. She said the two cases were filed electronically last Saturday morning, all copies were hand-delivered and the associated fees were paid.
Powell said the Supreme Court clerk did not provide a reason for the denial and did not return phone calls. “What the hell is going on?” Powell asked, “An unprecedented lack of professionalism on the part of (the Supreme Court).”
Powell’s Michigan and Georgia lawsuits were dismissed by state courts earlier this month. U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Batten dismissed the Joe State lawsuit, saying the plaintiffs represented by Powell “simply do not have standing to bring these allegations.”
U.S. District Judge Linda Parker in Detroit dismissed Powell’s Michigan lawsuit.
Powell had argued in the Michigan lawsuit that there was “massive election fraud,” adding that there were violations of Michigan election law and the U.S. Constitution.
“The scheme and artifice of deception was designed to illegally and fraudulently manipulate the general election count to produce the election of Joe Biden as president of the United States.” Powell’s lawsuit says. The fraud took many forms, but the most “disturbing, insidious and egregious ploy” involved “the systematic adaptation of old-fashioned ‘ballot stuffing.'” The lawsuit says.
