President Donald Trump’s campaign attorneys Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman filed an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court Dec. 20, asking the U.S.’s highest court to throw out Pennsylvania State Supreme Court rulings that approved unconstitutional election conduct by Pennsylvania officials, according to an article by Jack Davis in Western Journal.
The U.S. President is suing Pennsylvania in order to reverse violations of its own state laws on elections, writes Davis, citing Fox News; violations which distorted the voting process prescribed by law in such a way, and to such a degree, that the final results were changed, and President Trump was defrauded of victory. Therefore, Rudolph Giuliani, the President’s attorney, filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The new suit begins by quoting the Supreme Court decision in the famous Bush v. Gore case in 2000: “Article II of the Constitution provides that ‘Each State shall appoint [electors for President and Vice President] in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.’ U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 2 (emphasis added). That power is ‘plenary,’ and the statutory provisions enacted by the legislature in the furtherance of that constitutionally-assigned duty may not be ignored by state election officials or changed by state courts.”
