Rep. Louie Gohmert has
filed a new document in the lawsuit brought on by him and other
Republicans to stop the Democrats from stealing the 2020
election.
The new filing argues that Vice President Mike Pence has the
authority to count Republican electors in contested states, or
ignore the electors from those states altogether.
The filing asked that the court displace Congress’s
longstanding role in counting the votes of the Electoral College in
Presidential elections, which would bring a “peaceful
conclusion” to the presidential election process.
On New Year’s Day Judge Jeremy Kernodle ruled that
Republican lawmakers, led by Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas,
lacked the proper standing to sue Mr. Pence in the
matter.
Americans no longer have proper standing in their
elections.
The New York Times reported:
A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit led by President
Trump’s allies in Congress that aimed to pressure Vice President
Mike Pence to overturn the results of the election, dealing a blow
to lawmakers’ last-ditch effort to challenge President-elect
Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory.Judge Jeremy D. Kernodle of the Eastern
District of Texas ruled that Republican lawmakers, led by
Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas, lacked the proper standing
to sue Mr. Pence in the matter. The lawsuit challenged the more
than century-old law that governs the Electoral College process, in
an attempt to expand an otherwise ceremonial role into one with the
power to reject electoral votes that were cast for Mr. Biden.As the presiding officer of the Senate, Mr. Pence has the
responsibility of opening and tallying envelopes sent from each
state and announcing their electoral results when Congress meets on
Jan. 6 to certify Mr. Biden’s victory. Mr. Gohmert, along with
his colleagues and electors in Arizona, had hoped that the lawsuit,
filed on Sunday, could force Mr. Pence to take on an expanded role,
opening the vice president up to pressure to invalidate the
election results.
Rep. Louie Gohmert joined Emerald Robinson on Newsmax to
discuss the ruling.
Gohmert will appeal the dismissal.
