No credible evidence has been presented of widespread fraud during the 2020 presidential election or that it impacted the outcome.\nThe suit also asked for more than $2.9 billion in damages that the court make that payout tax-free.\nThe Brunsons did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the ruling.\nOn social media, Raland Brunson set the stage for Monday’s denial. “Don’t think for a second that my brothers and I are not prepared for denial.

Adams et. al., claimed nearly 400 members of Congress violated their oaths of office by not investigating claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election and voting to certify Joe Biden’s win.\nRaland Brunson, the lead plaintiff in the suit, along with brothers Loy and Deron, asked for those members of Congress, along with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, to be removed from office and barred from ever running again. Similarly, former Vice President Mike Pence would also be banned from holding another elective office.\nIn an order published Monday, the Supreme Court said it would not hear the Utahn’s case.\nOn Friday, a small group of Bronson’s supporters met outside the Supreme Court in hopes of encouraging justices to hear their arguments.\nThe suit also ignored the order of presidential succession laid out in the Constitution by asking that Donald Trump be made eligible to return to the White House.\nAccording to Deron Brunson, lawmakers’ refusal to look into election fraud claims was akin to treason and an “act of war” against the United States. No credible evidence has been presented of widespread fraud during the 2020 presidential election or that it impacted the outcome.\nThe suit also asked for more than $2.9 billion in damages that the court make that payout tax-free.\nThe Brunsons did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the ruling.\nOn social media, Raland Brunson set the stage for Monday’s denial. “Don’t think for a second that my brothers and I are not prepared for denial. We’ve got plenty of chess pieces still at play and we still have our queen,” he wrote on his Facebook page.\nFollowing Monday’s decision, Raland expressed disappointment on Facebook but said they planned to ask the court to reconsider.\nThe case was initially dismissed by a federal judge for lack of standing. The brothers appealed the decision to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals but were denied, leading to Monday’s denial by the Supreme Court.\nSeveral media figures on the far right were hyping the case in the days leading up to Monday’s decision, including some prominent influencers in the QAnon conspiracy theory movement.", ">\n\nHow does such a frivolous lawsuit make it all the way to the Supreme Court?", ">\n\nIt didn't. \nIt was rejected at the trial court level.

The Supreme Court, on Monday, Jan. 9, 2023, rejected a lawsuit brought by three Utah brothers seeking to return Donald Trump to the White House.\nThree Utah brothers seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election and return Donald Trump to the White House will not have their longshot lawsuit heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.\nThe litigation, Brunson v. Adams et. al., claimed nearly 400 members of Congress violated their oaths of office by not investigating claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election and voting to certify Joe Biden’s win.\nRaland Brunson, the lead plaintiff in the suit, along with brothers Loy and Deron, asked for those members of Congress, along with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, to be removed from office and barred from ever running again. Similarly, former Vice President Mike Pence would also be banned from holding another elective office.\nIn an order published Monday, the Supreme Court said it would not hear the Utahn’s case.\nOn Friday, a small group of Bronson’s supporters met outside the Supreme Court in hopes of encouraging justices to hear their arguments.\nThe suit also ignored the order of presidential succession laid out in the Constitution by asking that Donald Trump be made eligible to return to the White House.\nAccording to Deron Brunson, lawmakers’ refusal to look into election fraud claims was akin to treason and an “act of war” against the United States. No credible evidence has been presented of widespread fraud during the 2020 presidential election or that it impacted the outcome.\nThe suit also asked for more than $2.9 billion in damages that the court make that payout tax-free.\nThe Brunsons did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the ruling.\nOn social media, Raland Brunson set the stage for Monday’s denial. “Don’t think for a second that my brothers and I are not prepared for denial. We’ve got plenty of chess pieces still at play and we still have our queen,” he wrote on his Facebook page.\nFollowing Monday’s decision, Raland expressed disappointment on Facebook but said they planned to ask the court to reconsider.\nThe case was initially dismissed by a federal judge for lack of standing. The brothers appealed the decision to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals but were denied, leading to Monday’s denial by the Supreme Court.\nSeveral media figures on the far right were hyping the case in the days leading up to Monday’s decision, including some prominent influencers in the QAnon conspiracy theory movement.", ">\n\nHow does such a frivolous lawsuit make it all the way to the Supreme Court?", ">\n\nIt didn't. \nIt was rejected at the trial court level.

No credible evidence has been presented of widespread fraud during the 2020 presidential election or that it impacted the outcome.\nThe suit also asked for more than $2.9 billion in damages that the court make that payout tax-free.\nThe Brunsons did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the ruling.\nOn social media, Raland Brunson set the stage for Monday’s denial. “Don’t think for a second that my brothers and I are not prepared for denial.

No credible evidence has been presented of widespread fraud during the 2020 presidential election or that it impacted the outcome.\nThe suit also asked for more than $2.9 billion in damages that the court make that payout tax-free.\nThe Brunsons did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the ruling.\nOn social media, Raland Brunson set the stage for Monday’s denial. “Don’t think for a second that my brothers and I are not prepared for denial.

The Supreme Court, on Monday, Jan. 9, 2023, rejected a lawsuit brought by three Utah brothers seeking to return Donald Trump to the White House.\nThree Utah brothers seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election and return Donald Trump to the White House will not have their longshot lawsuit heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.\nThe litigation, Brunson v.

We can call them the supreme judgment people.\nI like this system. I think I will call it the \"super awesome people figuring out laws and rules system.\" Or maybe the \"justice system* I don't know it's still a work in progress.", ">\n\nThat’s great.

And that money goes towards the judges' pay? If you want to appeal a traffic ticket be my guest, it's your money. But there is a reason why the courts function the way they do and it is to provide a system to address issues with the law. I like being able to appeal a trial court judge's decision to include/exclude a witness or to improperly hear/dismiss a case, because it provides clear resolution and avoids fascism by a single panel/person at one level of the court system.\nThe Supreme Court gets about 7000 applications for \"cert\" each year, and they have whole staffs of people dedicated to handling them. This case would have been a 5-10 minute thing as well, as there was no federal question or circuit split at issue, so it really didn't eat into their available time.

Because here's the thing, if she runs, she's probably still going to win, and that's not the best thing for her or for this country.", ">\n\nIf it’s a primary with Katie Porter, I won’t vote for Feinstein.", ">\n\nWhy would you vote for Feinstein at this age in any primary? Katie Porter or not?", ">\n\nWe’re gonna need a bigger whiteboard!", ">\n\nHer districted got remapped this cycle and she basically had to introduce herself all over again to voters, and still won in a tough environment.\nShe’d be amazing in the Senate, and smart of her to jump out early and get ahead of other potential candidates. Now we just have to hope Feinstein’s massive ego doesn’t cause her to mount an absurd reelection bid in ‘24", ">\n\nFeinstein is 89, and don't members of the Senate whisper that cognitively she's in serious decline? I honestly don't get any senator that is so old they don't just retire and enjoy their remaining days on Earth relaxing." ]
