Supreme Court Rejects Sidney Powell Election Fraud Petitions in Less Than 10 Words

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Supreme Court issued the latest rejection of an election fraud challenge in under 10 words, denying three cases filed by pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell and others Monday morning.

The succinct dismissal of the three "release the Kraken" cases marks only the latest blow to former President Donald Trump's legal efforts to overturn President Joe Biden's November election victory. Powell and other Trump-aligned attorneys pleaded with the nation's highest court for "extraordinary" speed in addressing their petitions. They described the cases against Arizona and Wisconsin's election results as being of the highest "public importance."

But the Supreme Court's brevity in responding clearly illustrated that the justices did not agree with the importance of Powell's filing: "The petitions for writs of mandamus are denied," the court announced Monday.

The Supreme Court's denial for an "extraordinary writ of mandamus," which would have forced lower courts to take immediate action on the cases, did not address any of the four questions posed by Powell, a former federal prosecutor. Instead, the court's casual rejection of the petitions comes as only the latest of dozens of legal challenges Trump-aligned attorneys had hoped would be seen favorably by the high court.

Smacked the hell out of her Kraken.

2. Petitions for writs of mandamus are rare birds

That's because there are several very specific criteria that have to be met, and they have to be apparent on their face. Among those criteria, the petitioner for the writ has to clearly be in the right, like the case isn't even close; and demonstrable, irrevocable harm will befall the petitioner if the writ isn't issued. I'm pretty sure Powell's petition failed on both criteria.

The ruling just means that Powell can't take a short-cut through the court system and get a ruling from the Supremes without going through the District and Circuit courts first.
