Following the 2020 election, certain legislators, Senators and others brought forward evidence and claims suggesting there was some sort of malfeasance during the 2020 election.
Once these claims and evidence were brought forward following the election, Congress was required to pause in order to investigate and ascertain the validity of these concerns. Among other things, this pause would have delayed the January 6th vote by Congress to certify the Electors and thus confirm the results of the election and next President of the United States.
Mike Pence and members of Congress voted NOT to pause nor did they implement an investigation surrounding these claims. Congress proceeded to confirm the Electors and their votes and name Joe Biden as newly elected President.
The case asserts that by failing to fulfill the requirement to investigate, all those who refused to investigate failed to fulfill their Oaths to protect the Country and Constitution. Failure to protect the Country is tantamount to committing treason. Consequently, these officials are open to investigation on such charges and if found guilty they could face the associated penalties.
The case asks that all those who failed to protect the Country be immediately removed from office and barred from holding future public office for the remainder of their lives. This would potentially include the President, Vice President and more than 380 members of Congress. Were this to be granted it could be followed by further investigation into their actions which could lead to criminal proceedings.
Why is this case now before the Supreme Court?
The Supreme Court has thousands of cases brought to it for review each year. It is the Court’s decision which cases to take on and typically they review a relatively small number (several hundred per year of the thousands submitted.)
This case is before SCOTUS because they CHOSE to review this case.
Why would this case of all of those brought forward be one of those chosen for review? Most Constitutional professors and those familiar with the Supreme Court would suggest that the Court would be extremely unlikely to take this case on. It’s too controversial, too volatile, too outlandish. So the question remains “why did they agree to review this case?”
Who asked for Congress to pause and investigate?
During the first week of January 2021, prior to January 6th, amidst numerous instances of emerging evidence and concerns, U.S. Senators Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, James Lankford, Steve Daines, Marsha Blackburn, and Mike Braun, along with Senators-Elect Cynthia Lummis, Roger Marshall, Bill Hagerty and Tommy Tuberville, issued a statement calling for a 10-day pause in the Electoral process, and further asked Congress to appoint an Electoral Commission and to perform an emergency audit on the election results from the disputed States.
Was there precedent for such a “Pause”?
In fact, in 1877 allegations of fraud and illegal conduct arose surrounding the Hayes-Tilden Presidential Race, Congress appointed an Electoral Commission including five Senators, five House members and five Supreme Court Justices who were charged with investigation and resolution of the disputed returns.
In 2020, Congress refused to be guided by this precedent and chose not to conduct such an investigation.
They have several choices –
- They could review and do nothing. This amplifies the open question: Given the extreme nature of the case, why would they take it on and how could they then elect to do nothing?
- They can review and issue an opinion. If such opinion were “soft” and simply recommended some sort of further study, why would they put themselves in such a position? What would be accomplished?
- They could issue a finding and orders. Granting the requests of the Plaintiff would result in the removal of the Defendants from office. The court could then refer additional actions to other authorities. This earth-shattering step would have historical significance. The result would likely include the setting-aside of 2020 (and 2022 Election) results and potentially a re-do of both elections.
What happens next?
The Supreme Court Justices can consider the case in private conference, which may occur in the next week. If four of the Justices agree, the case can move to a full hearing.
All should keep a sharp eye on the Brunson v. Adams case as new information and findings emerge.
The SCOTUS has accepted on the Docket for this Lawsuit Brunson v. Alma S. Adams; et al., – Biden Harris Pence and 385 members of Congress
Loy, Raland, Deron and Gaynor Brunson (the brothers) witnessed the 2020 election along with claims from members of congress that the election was rigged. What got their attention was when the proposition to investigate those claims was presented to Congress and put to a vote. What came as a shock to the four brothers is when they discovered that 387 members of Congress along with VP Mike Pence actually voted against the proposed investigation, thus thwarting the investigation. Whether the election was rigged or not was no longer their main concern. What now became the concern was when those members of Congress violated their sworn oath by voting to thwart the investigation.
The brothers wanted to do something about this. Their brother Deron had quite a lot of experience in the legal field, which started out when he began suing banks in an attempt to show the corruption in that part of the financial world, so he had enough knowledge to file a lawsuit against the now current 385 members of Congress along with VP Mike Pence, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. He already had experience with the SCOTUS by bringing two petitions to them, both of which were denied, but this experience gave him enough success along the way to give him the confidence that maybe, just maybe, he might be able to do something about this thwarted investigation.
They decided to have their oldest brother Loy to be the name on the lawsuit, which is called a “Complaint” and because he would be on the Complaint, the Court would refer to him as the Plaintiff. The 388 people being sued will now be called Defendants. Loy filed the complaint, which eventually got stuck in the Federal Court, so they got together and decided to have their brother Raland file the identical lawsuit with his name on it, in the Utah 2nd District Court. While Loy’s lawsuit continued to be held hostage in the Federal Court, Raland’s lawsuit eventually made it to the SCOTUS.
