Conservative Legal Team Sues Mike Pence, Demands He Reject Unconstitutional Electoral College Slates
In one of the most potent lawsuits to reach the US Supreme Court, the Amistad Project has filed a lawsuit on a point of constitutional order that would force the President of the Senate Vice President Mike Pence to remand the Electoral College votes of five states to their respective legislatures for certification.
The Thomas More Societys Amistad Project filed a lawsuit on December 22, 2020, claiming that a several federal and state laws, some enacted under the guise of COVID protection, had unconstitutionally and illegally delegated the authority of the various state legislatures to certify Electoral College votes to state executive branches.
The Amistad Project is arguing that the state legislatures of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona by virtue of this unconstitutional transfer of power, were prohibited from exercising their rightful power under the US Constitution to certify the presidential Electors votes cast on December 14, 2020, in their respective states.
