The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit brought by the state of Texas against four battleground states alleging massive fraud during the Nov. 3 election. The case had been joined by 18 other states.
In a 7-2 decision the High Court found Texas did not have standing in bringing the suit against the other states.
Justice Samuel Alito, with whom Justice Clarence Thomas concurred, said he would have heard the case but would not have granted any relief in it one way or the other, an unusual opinion.
The Trump legal team, showing no signs of surrendering, said it is exploring alternate legal options.
From The Epoch Times:
In an interview with Newsmax, [President Trump Attorney Rudy] Giuliani called the court’s decision a “terrible terrible mistake.”
“Basically the courts are saying they want to stay out of this, they don’t want to give us a hearing, they don’t want the American people to hear the facts,” the former New York City mayor said. “These facts will remain an open sore in our history unless they get resolved. They need to be heard they need to be aired and somebody needs to make a decision on whether they’re true or false. And some courts are going to have to have the courage to make that decision.”
“The case wasn’t rejected on the merits the case was rejected on standing,” Giuliani said. “The answer to that is to bring the case now to the district court by the president by some of electors alleging the same facts where there would be standing and therefore get a hearing.”
“There’s nothing that prevents us from filing these cases immediately in the district court, in which the president would have standing,” he continued. “Some of the electors would have standing in that their constitutional rights have been violated.”
