Sen. Ted Cruz said on Monday he would make oral arguments to the Supreme Court should they agree to hear an appeal from Pennsylvania Republicans suing to flip their state's election results from Joe Biden to President Trump.
"Because of the importance of the legal issues presented, I have publicly urged the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case brought by Congressman Mike Kelly, congressional candidate Sean Parnell, and state representative candidate Wanda Logan challenging the constitutionality of the presidential election results in Pennsylvania," Cruz said in a statement to the Washington Examiner, which was first reported by Fox News.
Republicans in Pennsylvania asked the Supreme Court to overturn the state's 2019 law on mail-in voting, a legal endeavor spearheaded by Kelly and Trump ally Parnell. They argue that a state statute known as Act 77 violates the state and federal Constitution by allowing for “no-excuse mail-in” votes on a large scale. The act allowed voters to cast their ballots by mail up to 50 days before an election without giving an excuse, which was previously required in order to receive an absentee ballot.
The lawsuit argues that Pennsylvania's Constitution sets "two, and only two, constitutionally-permissible methods of voting : 1) offering your ballot in propria persona at the polling place on election day; and 2) exceptions to the first method limited to those persons qualifying under the absentee voting provision" within the state's Constitution.

Good.
I am at least happy that Rudy will not be the one doing it. He has turned into an inept fool. Yes he was a great Mayor many years ago but that does not mean he is a good lawyer now or that he even ever was.
Should be an easy case to win. The only question is whether the justices have the balls to follow the law.
He has the experience. This is clearly in his wheelhouse.
I hope so — otherwise, they’re capitulating to the active destruction of the Constitution.
Excellent! When Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena, two young girls, were viciously raped and murdered by Mexican young “men” ....
Ted Cruz argued to USSC to keep the killers here. Mexico wanted them back. Ted won. He is good! W was president and wanted to send them home. They were kept here and EXECUTED.
Nice of Cruz but this too important to entrust to someone who has been a political rival. Jay Sekow is more experienced and would be a better choice in my opinion.
Watching Lou Dobbs from FOX literally explode at Jason Miller from the White House for not immediately agreeing to it was surreal.
I like Jay Sekulow, he is a long time member of the SCOTUS
Bar, presented and won many times arguing at the SC.
Rudy put many a Mafioso away in court, and he headed the biggest DOJ office in the country with a staff numbering
over 10,000.
The problem isn’t Rudy, Lin, Jenna or Sydney, its the GOP
lazy assclowns who won’t “Fight For Trump” and the coward
judges who won’t even listen and read the evidence.
Our justice system died so far.
Very good. Sen. Cruz had a good record of arguing cases before SCOTUS when he was Solicitor General of Texas.
Huge.
Plus He has photogenic like memory only it's what he hears rather than what is written.....he can repeat verbatim anything said.....which we saw at the debates when he went through all the candidates quoting them word for word.
Rudy’s down for a bit. Cruz has experience.

Thanks.
Agreed. Cruz has a proven track record before the SCOTUS. Good for him for volunteering for this.
Sorry but that’s not correct. I saw an interview with him just a few days ago and the exact subject came up. He said he was 5 wins and 4 losses overall.
I like Cruz. He was my first choice when the 2016 primaries first began. But he’s been debating in the Senate now for over a decade, not a court of law.
It was a nice gesture. But as a politician he should be out making the President’s case politically more. The President has over $200 million in his Stop the Steal war chest from which he can hire those who haven’t yet retired from Supreme Court debates.
Ted was my guy for Pres. I ADORE President Trump, but Ted was my guy at the first round. I am happy he is doing this, now!
You are an ignorant fool. Rudy investigated and prosecuted the Mob and was good enough to have them convicted. The quality of posters on this site has noticeably declined. Pity.
I'm not sure what the remedy will be, I know what it should be, but do they have the guts to do the right thing?
[W was president and wanted to send them home.]
Figures. Jorge being Jorge, and all that.
[They were kept here and EXECUTED.]
Good.
