Judge dismisses Gohmert's attempt to force Pence to decide election (1429 hits)


Judge dismisses Gohmert's attempt to force Pence to decide election
By Caroline Linton 1 hr ago

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit brought by Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas that sought to empower Vice President Mike Pence to unilaterally decide the 2020 election results rather than have Congress count the electoral votes on January 6. Pence and the Department of Justice on Thursday had urged the court to reject Gohmert's lawsuit, saying the power lies with the House and the Senate.

U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy Kernodle of the Eastern District of Texas said the plaintiffs lack "standing" to sue, since they claim "institutional injury" to the House of Representatives, but "that is insufficient to support standing."


The court also said Gohmert "does not identify any injury to himself as an individual, but rather a 'wholly abstract and widely dispersed' institutional injury to the House of Representatives."

On Saturday, a three-judge panel on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's ruling. In the one-paragraph ruling the judges wrote "We need say no more," but also noted, "We express no view on the underlying merits."

The appeals court ruled so quickly that the plaintiffs' request for an expedited decision was rendered moot.

The House and the Senate are set to count the Electoral College votes on January 6, an event that usually draws little fanfare. But some of President Trump's supporters are using it as a last-ditch attempt to overturn the election results.

Gohmert had claimed in the lawsuit that Pence has the "sole" power to decide the outcome of the election, and Gohmert claimed he had 140 House members willing to object to the election results.

No Steve, I am not a totalitarian. I guess, I fall into the category of “Something.”

Steve Williams
Steve, why you are playing Brand New NOW? We have been talking about your failed Hero Louie Gohmer and his 60 FAILED court cases because of a lack of creditable evidence.

Steve, this thug has been thrown out of 60 courts, what embarrassment you are for following people like this.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Gohmert only brought the one case.

Wednesday, January 6th 2021 at 2:49PM
Steve Williams
That BULL💩 was thrown out as well.


Wednesday, January 6th 2021 at 3:20PM

Wednesday, January 6th 2021 at 7:00PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I told you you'd be surprised at what was in store for you today.

Wednesday, January 6th 2021 at 7:47PM
Steve Williams
You did not mention anything about an attack on The United States Capital Steve, WHY?



Wednesday, January 6th 2021 at 8:22PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I said there would be many twists and turns and I was right.

Wednesday, January 6th 2021 at 10:10PM

You know from the reactions of the way Trump is handling things, I must thank Trump for opening up more Americans' eyes to what he is doing, every day.

Steve, did you know, not only has Trump lost his race to be a two-term president of The United States of America, but he also lost The Senate and Georgia turned BLUE to elect two democrats as Senator's indirect defense to the lasting legacy of Trump and all this happened under TRUMPS watch?

Now in your inactions, you act like you have missed anything that we have been talking about over the many years about Trump Steve?

Remember this Steve, you can't prove a LIE and you saw it all in living color.

Thursday, January 7th 2021 at 12:03AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Well Ron, there doesn't seem to be much left to argue about. We're sunk.

Thursday, January 7th 2021 at 12:50AM
Steve Williams
No, it's not and you still can answer the simplest of questions:

"Steve, did you know, not only has Trump lost his race to be a two-term president of The United States of America, but he also lost The Senate and Georgia turned BLUE to elect two democrats as Senator's indirect defense to the lasting legacy of Trump and all this happened under TRUMPS watch, did you know that?"



Thursday, January 7th 2021 at 8:29AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
No Ron, I didn't know that.

Thursday, January 7th 2021 at 8:48AM
Steve Williams
This is what TRUMP will be remembered for in U.S. History, this DARK DAY in American history which you support Steve. This is truly a dark day, Thanks, Steve!

All this happens without any proof at all, just LIES from Donald J. Trump.



Steve, this is just another example, "THAT YOU CAN'T PROVE A LIE.


Thursday, January 7th 2021 at 9:15AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I'm waiting for you to discover it was Antifa.

Thursday, January 7th 2021 at 9:16AM
Steve Williams
Steve, just stop and think for a moment and ask yourself, why would a left wing group like Antifa help right-wing groups like "THE Q" and or The Proud Boys gain from a protest in D.C., that Trump invited on Jan 6th?

Still being that good Trump supporter Steve?
