WASHINGTON — Undeterred by dismissals and admonitions from judges, President Donald Trump’s campaign continued with its unprecedented efforts to overturn the results of the Nov 3. election Sunday, saying it had filed a new petition with the Supreme Court.

The petition seeks to reverse a trio of Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases having to do with mail-in ballots and asks the court to reject voters’ will and allow the Pennsylvania General Assembly to pick its own slate of electors.

While the prospect of the highest court in the land throwing out the results of a democratic election based on unfounded charges of voter fraud is extraordinary unlikely, it wouldn’t change the outcome. President-elect Joe Biden would still be the winner even without Pennsylvania because of his wide margin of victory in the Electoral College.

“The petition seeks all appropriate remedies, including vacating the appointment of electors committed to Joseph Biden and allowing the Pennsylvania General Assembly to select their replacements,” Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani said in a statement.

4. Remember four years ago?

When we scrutinized some peculiar results from some states, looking into whether there were any identifiable irregularities? Trump and his Nitwit Brigade just came unglued, and for four years they've been mooing nonstop about Democratic efforts to overturn Trump's election. Trump has carped about it so much, he even asserted that he was "entitled" to two more terms because Democrats cast aspersions on the legitimacy of his election.

This year, Trump got wiped out, polling 7 million fewer votes than the Biden-Harris ticket, and he can't stand it. He lost to a woman, and he can't stand it. He lost to a guy he's derided in public and in private, and he can't stand it. He's pulling every stunt he can think of to overturn the results of the election, he's lost every last one of them, and he can't stand it.

9. Trump calculates that if he wins in Pa other states cases will follow.

The legal theory behind it move is "I want it so I am going to have it, and the law be damned." (that is learned in the second year of law school)

11. There is no way that will happen!

In such a case where a state’s vote is nullified, it doesn’t move the needle.
Say if it were PA with 20 electoral votes, those votes would be subtracted from the total needed to win. So, the total needed to win would then be 250, not 270.

12. I want a Jaguar

But it ain’t gonna happen. I don’t scheme, bribe or go on about it. It’s not gonna happen. Something is seriously wrong with this man. This just is not fighting for a cause.. it’s psychological or pathological or just nuts. All this taxpayers’ money for his illusions of grandeur. Whatever the diagnosis..he needs help. IF he can get help at this point..

13. SCOTUS has already told him they have no remedy to give him.

It is up to Congress. Period.
