Hey guys, I noticed the side argument about the difficulty of proving fraud, so I wanted to chime in and clarify this for you.
The criminal activity that is alleged by the petitioner is not the fraud that likely occurred in the 2020 election. It is the fact that when 100 congresspeople raised legitimate concerns about the integrity of the election, that instead of allowing those claims to be given consideration as tradition and law allow, the defendants actively thwarted such efforts. The plaintiffs allege that this is treason, as the defendants adhered to enemies of the republic by doing so.
As far as I can tell then, the plaintiff's burden of proof is not that there was fraud, only that there were legitimate concerns that fraud may have occurred. This might be as simple as showing that observers were interfered with. The bar of proof might even be as low as simply showing the fact of the interference in the legitimate process of objecting to the electoral count based on those concerns, which certainly seems to have occurred.
Nananananana, looking in my crystal ball, seeing an engineered interference by civilian third parties on January 6th, followed by lots of legislators saying things like "well we were going to hear objections, but since some civilians who were not elected officials made it onto the capitol building without our permission, and were mean to us, all of that goes right out the window, and we're going to certify this election without giving the legitimate complaints of shady activity the consideration that they are due."
That is not how that process is supposed to work as far as I know. Seems to this layman as though due process was subverted right there. Perhaps even treasonously so. Anyhow, that is what the plaintiffs are alleging. Not so much that there was fraud, but that the legislators and executives in question failed to carry out their oaths of office. They have all sworn to uphold and defend the constitution, but instead subverted it in that situation.

Well, the courts explained it thusly:
Before the election was complete, the plaintiffs had 'no standing'.
When the 'election' was over, the 'issue was moot'.
Yeah, that's some justice there.
Cheers

Two lower courts have refused to hear the case due to lack of jurisdiction. Do you really think SCOTUS is going to decide any differently? There's a reason the DOJ didn't feel the need to respond to the writ of certiorari.

Yeah, we know those like you LOVE your dictatorial masters and don't care that your lovely dictatorial masters stole or steal elections as long as you are in power.
You are the type to defend the idiocy that your democrat dictatorial masters claim. "You want to make certain only U.S. citizens vote in U.S. elections & that there is no voter fraud? That's voter suppression... After all illegals, non-citizens, cats, dogs, dead democrats, hundreds to millions of conservatives who go to vote in person and are told "you already voted" when they didn't, and citizens of other countries all should be able to vote in U.S. elections."

As I see it, it all dosn't add up to a hill of (Rotten) beans.
The question then becomes, the head of the SC. John Roberts. Speaker of the house, Majority Leader, Or head of the SC. If those key people are compromised, you can forget Justice.
We desperately need a Christmas Miracle..

I'm trying to imagine a universe where Roberts would take up that case. He folded over Obama care, he was heard yelling at fellow SCOTUS after the 2020 election, worried more about riots than the constitution.
Someone has something nefarious over Mr. Robert I believe.
Roberts did the RvW decision to screw republicans at the direction of the DNC. this will be dismissed.
I also agree that secrecy is a big part of our problem and what got us to where we are as a nation, as a planet, in the first place. Though it may perhaps be of well intention, it does appear to inevitably morph into a giant rug that a mountain of wrongdoing may be swept under. State secrets.
How do we moderate that in the future to prevent this sort of thing? How do we keep some secrets that must reasonably be kept without enabling wanton lawlessness from those who are privy to such special authority? How do we achieve that balance? Can it even be done?
Let your imagination, be your limit...
Can it even be done?
It's not necessarily all bad then. Where's the line there? Less secrecy from government, but what is realistic to expect and require? There will always be practical considerations that will necessitate secrecy at times...Banning civilian bureaucrats from secret proceedings? Changing the enforcement precedent on the Sunshine Act? I dunno. What do you think?
The Emoluments Clauses of the U.S. Constitution - CRS Reports
Language
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them."

As I said, the only thing the government should keep secret, is its plans to ring in, the Adversary. The founding fathers knew the dangers of our new form of government as they saw first hand what can happen when power falls into the wrong hands.
They made it clear that if someone was beholding to another government, potentate, king, they were not worthy to hold office in this new government. Was it a oversight on their part or something else that they did not realize the dangers of Secret society members holding office. Maybe, they just couldn't see the dangers because most of them had a bias for one secret society, not realizing that even their beloved brotherhood could also, be infiltrated.
Secret societies are the right of the people to gather as they wish, this is true. But when one takes a oath to serve the people via a government office, in a open government, they should not have secret associations. You cant serve two masters at the same time.
I would draw the line on that point. No secret society members in public office. The Sunshine act can not remove nefarious skull&bones (Satanic Cults) members from the CIA and FBI. Nor could it even expose these people for who and what they are, and the damage they have caused throughout time.
The problem does not lay in legitimate secrecy, it lays in the criminals who use that secrecy to live above the law.

The US Supreme Court has recently docketed a case for review bringing suit against Biden, Harris, Pence, hundreds of members of congress, and 100 John or Jane Does, for refusing to uphold their oaths of office. The allegation is that 100 members of congress brought serious election integrity concerns to the attention of the defendants on January 6th, and instead of allowing the customary ten day inquiry into the integrity of that election, the defendants thwarted any such efforts.
As of the time of this writing, the Brunson case does appear to be docketed. The defendants have changed representation from US Attorneys to the Solicitor General. The most recent activity that I've seen was the 23 November deadline for the defendants to respond, which appears to have been waived by the defendants. It looks as though the next step is for the court to decide whether they will rule on the petition or not. The remedy requested by the plaintiff is that the defendants be removed from office and barred from holding federal office in the future.
I'm going to provide a lot of sources from alternative media. Zero mention of this by MSM that I've seen.

First saw it mentioned in this post:

I think this is the same Nino's Corner podcast that I recently viewed on it, one of the Brunson brothers is on the show answering questions:
rumble.com...
I think this is the same Godlewski video on it. Godlewski claims that this has already been heard and decided on months ago, and that the dates cited are fabrications. Godlewski's video on the subject:
rumble.com...
I liked this Conservative Daily video on it. Loy Brunson is there to give a synopsis, and they hash most of it out in the first thirty minutes or so. All of the videos I'm linking here are pretty long, there aren't any concise short pieces on it yet that I could find. If you were only to watch one, this provides the most concise information in the first half:

If granted, this petition could overturn the 2020 election results. Those people all took oaths, which they ignored when they certified the 2020 results without first seriously considering the serious claims of election fraud that were made by 100 congresspeople.
I think there should be consequences for that, if rule of law still means anything in this nation. It should be interesting to see how the court rules, and what comes of it, if anything. This is an opportunity for the SCOTUS to implement a legal remedy to our corruption problem. I can't help but like that, and be hopeful that they will serve us some justice.
I thought some of you might not have seen this, since it seems to be subject to a media blackout. What do you think? Discuss.
Edit to add Supreme Court's docket search results for the case:
