Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit filed with the U.S. Supreme Court is the “be-all, end-all case” for President Donald Trump’s ongoing and long-running election challenge, Trump lawyer Jordan Sekulow said Tuesday on Newsmax TV.
“The Supreme Court is not just considering what Texas has filed [Tuesday], they are now going the next step, which is to say, ‘We want a response from the states named,'” Sekulow told Tuesday’s “Stinchfield,” referring to four battleground states Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
“This is the case we’ve been talking about to reach SCOTUS. This is the outcome-determinative case, 62 electoral college votes, enough to change the outcome of the election.”
The Supreme Court, in a case of “original jurisdiction,” Sekulow said, will weigh the lawsuit’s proposed remedy of the four state legislatures seating new electors, because the “electors clause” was violated, along with “due process” and “equal protection.”
“These are all constitutional challenges that Texas is bringing,” Sekulow added in his interview with host Grant Stinchfield.
“It’s specifically going at the heart of constitutional challenges.”
The four states above have until Thursday at 3 p.m. ET to “actively respond” to election fraud allegations in AG Paxton’s bill of complaint. Sekulow noted all the other cases brought before – regardless of their lack of success in courts – are included and germane to Paxton’s case, labeled Texas vs. Pennsylvania at the Supreme Court.
I won’t hold my breath! However, I do hear the fat lady’s voice warming up in the hinter lands.
