Brunson v. Adams: why is this frivolous shit on the Supreme Court docket?

[Goodheart]

Mr. Brunson is suing 380+ members of Congress and the Executive branch, alleging that Defendants violated the Constitution and their respective oaths by intentionally refusing to ensure an honest and fair election, committing an act of war against the USA. The remedy he seeks is their removal from office.

1. Because our Supreme Court is now an organization of frivolous shits

What we can haul them in the court for violating their oath of office. Like to protect and defend the Constitution?

3. Only 2/3rds of it is

One third has functioning brain cells

6. Exactly correct. It's so frustrating. How can the assholes have taken over?

9. Supreme Court does nothing without a lawsuit.

They do not make their own lawsuits. I’m surprised that is not understood.

10. Well yeah but you can always count on the nut jobs to file a lawsuit

And it seems like they have unlimited funds for this shit. It’s up to the Court which cases to take

2. because any case that has worked its way through the system can be put on their docket

It being on the docket just means a party has petitioned for SCOTUS to hear the case. Doesn't mean SCOTUS will do anything with it. There are like 7,000-8,000 petitions for certiorari that are received by SCOTUS each year and only around 100-150 are granted.

4. I believe they are deciding on January 6 whether or not they will hear the case.

Sorry I don't have any links. All the chatter I found is on rightwing sites. But I believe that if they actually do decide to hear this case--a very long shot, IMO--it would become huge news.

5. Here is the request for cert for your perusal

It should be noted that this filing is done with the petitioner acting pro se.

7. Because any frivolous shit that gets filed with the Court gets assigned a number

But it doesn't mean the court will hear the case.

I'm not sure why you're so upset by something that is an absolute nothing burger.

8. Oy. It's one of many petitions up for consideration at the 1/6/23 conference...

That's how the system works. If certain criteria are met, anyone (more or less) can appeal a case to SCOTUS. This is a pro se case from a guy in Utah which 'lost' at the District and Appeals level.

Here's its SCOTUS case page:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/22-380.html

On Nov 23, 2022, the US Solicitor General filed a 'Waiver of right of respondent United States to respond' unless the Court requests that it do so. It appears that no such request has been made: the next entry simply scheduled the case for 1/6/2023. (That's a clue!)
