The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to take a case brought by two
Pennsylvania congressmen challenging the legality of the state's universal
mail-in balloting.
The court said regarding the appeal by Republican Rep. Mike Kelly: "The
application for injunctive relief presented to Justice Alito and by him

Constitutional scholar Mark Levin commented on Twitter.
"Sadly, SCOTUS could not or would not cobble together 4 members to stop
the lawlessness that took place by PA officials," he wrote. "It was a very solid
case with clear federal ramifications but they denied relief."

The court has yet to act a separate case brought by Pennsylvania
Republicans in late September challenging the decision by the secretary of
state to extend the deadline by three days for returning mail-in ballots.
On Monday night, Texas sued Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin in the Supreme Court allegation fraud and procedural problems
in those states "preclude knowing who legitimately won the 2020 election
and threaten to cloud all future elections."

Earlier Tuesday, amid warnings that Dec. 8 marked the first "safe harbor
deadline" for resolving legal challenges to the election, the Trump campaign
legal team issued a statement arguing election contests historically have
lasted well beyond the December statutory deadlines. Attorneys Rudy
Giuliani and Jenna Ellis cited the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg's recognition in Bush v. Gore that the date of "ultimate
significance" is Jan. 6, when the House counts and certifies the votes of the
Electoral College.
Dec. 8 is the deadline for states to certify election results before the Dec. 14
Electoral College vote.
On his Fox News show Sunday night, Levin argued "systemic fraud" in the
2020 election clearly took place 14 months ago when Pennyslvania officials
illegally changed laws that compromised the integrity of the vote.
In October 2019, the Republican-led state legislature passed a bill, Act 77,
changing the law to allow univeral mail-in voting. However, the
Pennyslvania Constitution requires that such changes to election law be
made only by an amendment to the state constitution that culuminates in a
vote by the people.
Kelly and Sean Parnell took that argument and others to court, and a
Pennsylvania appellate judge issued a temporary injunction to stop
certification of the vote. The judge ruled they were likely to succeed on the
merits of their case. The state's Supreme Court, however, overturned the
ruling, prompting an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Last week, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, arguing the case "raises serious legal
issues," urged the Supreme Court to hear the lawsuit.

"This appeal argues that Pennsylvania cannot change the rules in the middle
of the game. If Pennsylvania wants to change how voting occurs, the state
must follow the law to do so," said Cruz, who had volunteered to argue the
case before the high court.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision, he said, reflected "their political
and ideological biases."
"Just over a month ago, Justice Alito, along with Justice Thomas and Justice
Gorsuch, wrote ¡ª correctly, I believe ¡ª concerning the Pennsylvania court's
previous decision to count ballots received after Election Day, that 'there is a
strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the Federal
Constitution,'" Cruz pointed out.
Last Thursday, Trump campaign lawyer Jordan Sekulow said the most likely
path for the president would be for the U.S. Supreme Court to combine cases
from several states that would together determine the outcome of the
election. The matter could then go to the House, where the Constitution
gives each state delegation one vote. Republicans control 26 state
delegations while Democrats have 23.
The election also could go to the House via state legislatures, and
Republicans in a number of the battleground states are discussing asserting
their constitutional authority to dispute the selection of electors to the
Electoral College.

Everyone should watch this @marklevinshow to understand
what happened in PA, and decide if you believe that this is
exactly the kind of case SCOTUS should rule on.
