II, \u00a7 1, cl. 2 (emphasis added). That power is \u201cplenary,\u201d and the statutory provisions enacted by the legislature in the furtherance of that constitutionally-assigned duty may not be ignored by state election officials or changed by state courts. Bush v. Gore (\u201cBush II\u201d), 531 U.S. 98, 104-05 (2000).\u201d the Trump campaign wrote in its appeal to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>The petition also cited a \u201crelated Pennsylvania case\u201d \u2013 <em>Republican Party v. Boockvar<\/em> where Justices Alito, Clarence Thomas and Gorsuch observed the constitutionality of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court\u2019s decision to circumvent the state legislature and unilaterally extend the deadline for receipt of mail-in ballots THREE DAYS after Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis case presents in stark relief several of the violations that occurred in Pennsylvania. Together, those violations alone affected more ballots than the current margin of difference between the two principal candidates for President in Pennsylvania,\u201d the campaign\u2019s legal team wrote in its petition.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump camp also argued equal protection laws were violated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, Section 1 provides, in relevant part: \u201cnor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The campaign\u2019s petition asked for an expedited review and a reply from the highest court of the land by this Thursday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Read the petition filed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TeamTrump<\/a> Campaign to the U.S. Supreme Court. \u2b07\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PAnFll397E\">https:\/\/t.co\/PAnFll397E<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JennaEllisEsq\/status\/1340743511985950721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 20, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2020\/12\/new-trump-campaign-takes-fight-pennsylvania-election-mail-ballot-laws-us-supreme-court\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">NEW: Trump Campaign Takes Fight Over Pennsylvania Election and Mail-In Ballot Laws to US Supreme Court<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump campaign on Sunday filed a writ of certiorari to the US Supreme Court to reverse several Pennsylvania Supreme Court rulings that changed the state\u2019s mail-in ballot law &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2180918,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/9EAD41A5-EE84-4951-887B-EE0C0E822D9C-600x303.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"NEW: Trump Campaign Takes Fight Over Pennsylvania Election and Mail-In Ballot Laws to US Supreme Court","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/9EAD41A5-EE84-4951-887B-EE0C0E822D9C-600x303.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"NEW: Trump Campaign Takes Fight Over Pennsylvania Election and Mail-In Ballot Laws to US Supreme Court","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2180918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
