The Supreme Court Rejects Texas Effort to Overturn Election

126 Republican House members signed an amicus brief on a case they knew SCOTUS would reject. Does that make them criminally culpable? Charles Bastille Follow Dec 12, 2020 · 3 min read

Most of these legislators are lawyers. Those that aren’t are schooled enough in legal parlance and background to know better than to think the Supreme Court would accept this case. And of course, Friday night, the Supreme Court, in a one-page response, declined to help expand Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s pardon bait.

So why did they participate in something they knew, in absolute terms, would fail?

The sole purpose of this scheme was clearly fundraising.

Can a legal case be made against these congressional members? Their efforts to solicit funds based on a hair-brained attempt to ask the Supreme Court to interfere in state elections was itself fraudulent.

In fact, the case presented to the Supreme Court by Republicans themselves acknowledged there was no fraud in evidence in any of the 50 plus cases attempted by Maskara Rudy and his team of legal simpletons.

The case’s own statements acknowledge the paucity of evidence:

“Whatever doubt there is about fraud by voters or political operatives,” it says, “there is no doubt that the officials of the Defendant States changed the rules of the contest in an unauthorized manner.”

— Washington Post, December 11, 2020

This statement was an example of using sentences in a legal brief that mean nothing at best, and are factually wrong at worst. What is wrong with people who supposedly have legal backgrounds who file briefs centered around a lie to the Supreme Court?

There is no doubt that the officials of the Defendant States changed the rules of the contest in an unauthorized manner? Are they saying that the 50 cases thrown out by non-partisan judges, Democrat-appointed, Republican-appointed, and Trump-appointed, indicates that there is no doubt that the states in question changed the rules in an unauthorized manner?

If they really believe this, then they know less about the law than I do, and I don’t know much. They know less about the law than a third grade student.

But I doubt that is the case, which means their effort is based on a grand malfeasance. It was filed with malicious intent. It is meant to deceive the Trump Cult into a false narrative that the election was rigged.

At some point, should there not be consequences for foisting such a false hope upon the constituents who are being promised the golden shower of another four years of Trump? Is this not extortion of their money?

There is more to this than bowing to Trump’s flatulence, and happily breathing it in like the sycophants that they are. Much of this is about fund-raising.

Here are their names:

In a better world, they’d all be tried and convicted of extortion or fraud, or… something. 126 Republican Congress Critters need to be removed from office through an indictment. Of some kind.

I’m not a lawyer, but this goes beyond a breach of ethics.

They are pushing a dangerously vapid conspiracy narrative. It is nothing short of treasonous.

POSTSCRIPT NOTES:

I have noticed that I’m not the only one who thinks this way. To wit:

Democrats are wimps. So they won’t take such an action. But every time Democratic leaders allow Republicans to bash them over the head with their mendacity, I lose just a little more respect for them.
