Newsmax: Giuliani Wants Supreme Court to Decide Election

Rudy Giuliani, the attorney for President Donald Trump, said the campaign is prepared to lose election cases in an effort to throw the final decision on the presidential race to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Giuliani’s comments came during a Tuesday interview on Fox Business' "Mornings With Maria."

The Daily Mail reported that Giuliani was due to appear in court remotely on Tuesday in a case involving an attempt to have hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots removed from the count in Pennsylvania.

“Frankly this is a case that we would like to get to the Supreme Court,” he said. “So we're prepared in some of these cases to lose and to appeal and to get it to the Supreme Court.

The election has already been decided. Nobody needs to ask the Supreme Court about anything. It's a done deal. Bye Rudy!

you haven't won a lawsuit yet, what makes you think the SC will take up any of your failed lawsuits?
What Constitutional issues are at stake here that would impel the SC to take up any of you and your boss' lawsuits?

He really is as dumb as he looks! Though a lot of this might just be theater to placate Trump.
