President Donald Trump said Dec. 26 that the federal Supreme Court failed to properly address large-scale election fraud. Earlier, the federal Supreme Court dismissed Texas v. Four States, setting the deadline for defendants’ responses after the president’s swearing-in date in a separate lawsuit.
In a tweet on the 26th, Trump said, “The federal Supreme Court is extremely incompetent and weak regarding the massive election fraud that occurred in the 2020 presidential election. Our evidence is overwhelming, but they don’t even want to look at it – they say: no ‘legal standing’. If there is corruption in our elections, we will be a nation unto ourselves!”
The Epoch Times sent a request for comment to the federal Supreme Court and did not receive an immediate response.
The federal Supreme Court has five conservative justices, three of whom were appointed by Trump. The federal Supreme Court has refused to hear or has been passive about Trump and his team’s lawsuits related to election fraud.
On Dec. 11 the federal Supreme Court dismissed Texas’ lawsuit against four swing states (Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan), saying that Texas had not shown that its interference in the election practices of other states would produce a reasonable interest, so Texas had no legal standing – legal capacity – to bring this lawsuit under the Constitution.
Trump tweeted on Dec. 12, “The Supreme Court did let us down. No wisdom, no courage!”
The Trump team filed another lawsuit Dec. 21 in the federal Supreme Court, alleging that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unlawfully changed the mail-in ballot law just as the election was about to begin, in violation of Article II of the Constitution and the 2000 Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore. The Trump team asked the court to order Pennsylvania to respond by noon on Dec. 23.
However, the federal Supreme Court accepted the case on Dec. 23 and rejected the Trump team’s proposed deadline for Pennsylvania’s response, setting it for Jan. 23. The Supreme Court was accused of not wanting to deal with the election fraud case at all after Jan. 23, which is the day the president was sworn in (Jan. 20).
The Trump team has provided evidence over the past seven weeks alleging election irregularities and fraud, including election officials’ refusal to allow Republican observers to monitor votes, “dead man voting,” and the state executive branch’s modification of election-related regulations without the approval of the state legislature.
However, the judicial system has been mostly passive in its approach to election fraud lawsuits. President Trump released a video on Dec. 22 calling on the American people to “stop vote-theft.
“Elections are the foundation of our democracy, and Americans must have confidence in them,” President Trump said in the video. “Now is the time for the American people to speak out and demand that unfair elections be corrected immediately. Our elections must be fair, they must be honest, they must be transparent and they must be completely free of fraud.”
President Trump also encouraged supporters to attend a rally in the capital city of Washington, DC on Jan. 6. A joint session of Congress will be held that day to count and certify the Electoral College vote results.
WTOPNews.com sources said the group Women for America First is applying to hold rallies at Freedom Plaza and the Lincoln Memorial on Jan. 6.
In another tweet on the morning of Dec. 26, President Trump said, “Don’t give up. We’ll see you in Washington DC on Jan. 6.”
He also said, “The worst fraud in our nation’s history occurred in the 2020 presidential election and despite overwhelming evidence, the DOJ and FBI ignored it. They should be ashamed of themselves. History will remember.”
