What does a former solicitor general know about arguing cases before SCOTUS?

That's the Pennsylvania case on Act 77.
For those of us not up on every case...the Kelly case is?????

Quote:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) issued a statement Tuesday urging the United States Supreme Court to hear an emergency appeal challenging the election results in the state of Pennsylvania, which was filed by fellow Republicans.
Last month, Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly (R) and GOP congressional candidate Sean Parnell filed a lawsuit in their home state that declared "universal mail-in voting unconstitutional in the state," according to KDKA-TV, who reported that the suit, if successful, would have resulted in throwing out "the votes of the majority of Pennsylvanians who voted by mail in the Nov. 3 election."
Quote:
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court unanimously threw out the order, so Kelly and Parnell filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. high court. Sen. Cruz says the case has merit.
"This appeal raises serious legal issues, and I believe the Court should hear the case on an expedited basis," the senator wrote, noting that "the Pennsylvania Constitution requires in-person voting, except in narrow and defined circumstances," and that "late last year, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed a law that purported to allow universal mail-in voting, notwithstanding the Pennsylvania Constitution's express prohibition."
LINKQuote:
Cruz, a litigator who has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court, also pointed out that "just over a month ago, Justice Alito, along with Justice Thomas and Justice Gorsuch, wrote correctly, I believe 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.'"
He argued that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court put the plaintiffs "in a Catch-22" by telling them, in short, that "before the election, they lacked standing; after the election, they've delayed too long."
Cruz went on to acknowledge that the U.S. Supreme Court would typically not take up election cases dealing with state law, but that "these are not ordinary times."
The Texas Republican concluded:Quote:
As of today, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling, 39 percent of Americans believe that "the election was rigged." That is not healthy for our democracy. The bitter division and acrimony we see across the nation needs resolution. And I believe the U.S. Supreme Court has a responsibility to the American people to ensure that we are following the law and following the Constitution. Hearing this case-now, on an emergency expedited basis-would be an important step in helping rebuild confidence in the integrity of our democratic system.
I would say that "39%" is a very underrepresented view of the election.
If Cruz is arguing the case, it all but guarantees a favorable ruling for Republicans...
Ted Cruz is a true patriot. I'm proud he's my senator.
It certainly makes it likely. Ted Cruz clearly thinks it has merits. As does Judge Alito apparently.AggieKeith15 said:

part of me does wish it would go to the supreme court. when they strike it down, hopefully it would convince some of those 39% that the ultimate result of the election was legitimate. i have a feeling it won't, but if SCOTUS can't convince them no one short of trump will.
Anyone with a brain knows it was rigged. Ejecting poll watchers, flipping votes, election law changes outside the legislature, unsolicited MIBs, etc.. Rigged!

Trump can say whatever the hell he wants. I have four eyes and a brain. Its obvious there was cheating going on. Why would Trump saying anything change reality?
"The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution was never designed to restrain the people. It was designed to restrain the government."
Add to that the months in advance clear preparation for this. You see the Democrats-MSM mapping it out and projecting what will occur so as to give cover for it. And all the information control and Chinese-like putting thumbs on scales actually constitute a separate set of evidence. The selective spiking of stories damaging to the Democrats yet another.Rittenhouse said:Old McDonald said:

Cruz is good....But apparently so was Sydney Powell. It's going to be a waiting game.AggieKeith15 said:

That is good news. Years ago I remember watching an interview with a Harvard law professor and he basically said Cruz was one of the smartest students he ever had, and that he had a brilliant mind.

I can hear the 2024 campaign speeches now.
"I was ready to go in front of the highest court in the land to defend our elections! And our corrupt judicial system wouldn't even take the case, when they knew that election was rigged! Elect me and I'll fix it!"

LINKQuote:
Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee is a case scheduled for argument before the Supreme Court of the United States during the court's October 2020-2021 term. The case came on a writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. It was consolidated with Arizona Republican Party v. Democratic National Committee.
The case concerns voting policies in Arizona and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
HIGHLIGHTSThe case: In 2016, several arms of the Democratic Party (ongoing referred to as the DNC) sued Arizona, claiming its out-of-precinct policy and its ballot-collection law violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The U.S. District Court denied the DNC's petition, which a divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit affirmed. In an en banc rehearing, the 9th Circuit granted a preliminary injunction, which the U.S. Supreme Court stayed the next day.
In October 2017, the district court held a trial on the merits, ultimately ruling in favor of the state of Arizona. On appeal, a divided 9th Circuit panel affirmed the district court's ruling. In an en banc rehearing, the 9th Circuit reversed the panel's decision. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R), in his official capacity, and the Arizona Republican Party, appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.The issues:
"1. Does Arizona's out-of-precinct policy violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act?2.Does Arizona's ballot-collection law violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act or the Fifteenth Amendment?"[url=https://ballotpedia.org/Brnovich_v._Democratic_National_Committee#cite_note-questions-5][[/url] The outcome: The appeal is pending adjudication before the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is just a sad take. I do not know one single person who voted R that believes the election was not massively rigged. Just because a person does or doesn't post on social media , doesn't make them unaware or disinterested in the future of our country. Maybe your circle of friends do not care about the loss of freedoms, but my era has lost too many fighting for them to be that nonchalant.Tanya 93 said:I doubt itSexyAg said:

but there is a huge amount of people who really do not care much about it because they think they whole system is screwed and that no one really gives a damn about the poor.
Go volunteer to hand out stuff at your local food bank and see what it up.
It is sad, but keeping the power on is more important to them than any potential cheating in races they cannot vote in.
