As You Read Here: Trump Goes Full Bush v. Gore

by Brett Stevens on December 20, 2020

An insightful reader wrote in with the latest news of the Donald Trump effort to reverse the Joe Biden/China election theft from his campaign attorney, Rudy Giuliani:

President Trump’s campaign today issued the following statement:

“Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., President Trump’s campaign committee, today filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the US. Supreme Court to reverse a trio of Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases which illegally changed Pennsylvania’s mail balloting law immediately before and after the 2020 presidential election in violation of Article II of the United States Constitution and Bush v. Gore. This represents the Campaign’s first independent U.S. Supreme Court filing and seeks relief based on the same Constitutional arguments successfully raised in Bush v. Gore.

“This petition follows a related Pennsylvania case where Justice Alito and two other justices observed ‘the constitutionality of the [Pennsylvania] Supreme Court’s decision [extending the statutory deadline for receipt of mail ballots from 8 pm on election day to 5 pm three days later] … has national importance, and there is a strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the Federal Constitution.’

“The Campaign’s petition seeks to reverse three decisions which eviscerated the Pennsylvania Legislature’s protections against mail ballot fraud, including (a) prohibiting election officials checking whether signatures on mail ballots are genuine during canvassing on Election Day, (b) eliminating the right of campaigns to challenge mail ballots during canvassing for forged signatures and other irregularities, (c) holding that the rights of campaigns to observe the canvassing of mail ballots only meant that they only were allowed to be ‘in the room’ – in this case, the Philadelphia Convention Center – the size of several football fields, and (d) eliminating the statutory requirements that voters properly sign, address, and date mail ballots.

“The petition seeks all appropriate remedies, including vacating the appointment of electors committed to Joseph Biden and allowing the Pennsylvania General Assembly to select their replacements. The Campaign also moved for expedited consideration, asking the Supreme Court to order responses by December 23 and a reply by December 24 to allow the U.S. Supreme Court to rule before Congress meets on January 6 to consider the votes of the electoral college.”

Trump finally has something he can act upon, namely the works of the lower courts, and he knows what to ask for: “vacating the appointment of electors committed to Joseph Biden and allowing the Pennsylvania General Assembly to select their replacements.”

This case addresses Pennsylvania only, with Trump/Giuliani apparently believing that they can reverse other false counts in lower courts or must wait for those states to act so that similar suits can be filed.

Unlike the Texas suit, this one has clear standing which does not invoke the precedent of states suing states under a tenth amendment interpreted like the fourteenth amendment, but for states, although that would also be legitimate since results of an election in Pennsylvania determines who rules Texas.

As mentioned before, this will follow the lines of Bush v. Gore, which held that judicial attempts to change electoral qualifications would be rejected in favor of consistency with the legislature.

This shows the Biden attempt to steal the presidency as simply carefully-calculated bullying. They faked the vote totals, demanded that Trump conceded, and hoped he would so that they could seize power. Their defense seems to be intended to be essentially “it’s a prank, bro, don’t take it so seriously.”

However, attempted fraud is still fraud, and if this effort — part of Trump’s three-layer strategy — fails, he will have to use the criminal trials to overturn the election by invalidating Joe Biden as a candidate, which means a default win for Trump.

Should that be thwarted, he will be forced to continue systematically releasing (as I believe we have seen this past week) previously-classified data about how deeply China has penetrated the USA. This will destroy faith in American democracy and provoke a revolution.

The Deep State thought they were clever by stonewalling on the release of classified information as ordered by Trump, but they do not realize that this makes it completely legal for Trump to selective release information as well.

If the state courts uphold fake counts and the Supreme Court will not intervene, he will go to military or law enforcement to bust this foreign-engineered election theft, and if not, he will keep unleashing the bombs until American government collapses.

At that point, Biden will be forced out of office for practical reasons, and Trump will resume, in the process negotiating conditions out of Congress that will not be liked much by the Democrats. One way or another, this election theft is going down in flames, and the people responsible are going to jail.
