Supreme Court won’t hear case brought by a group of voters against Dominion Voting Systems and Facebook
CNN ^ | 11:59 AM EST, Mon December 5, 2022 | Devan Cole

The Supreme Court declined on Monday to take up a case brought against Dominion Voting Systems and Facebook after the 2020 election by a group of voters who claimed the companies illegally “influenced or interfered with” the contest.

Lower courts had previously rejected the case, ruling that the eight voters lacked the procedural threshold – known as standing – needed to bring the suit against parties including the Center for Tech and Civic Life, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan.

“The court’s refusal to take up this case is no surprise; the lower courts threw it out because the plaintiffs didn’t have standing, and, even if they did, their claims are frivolous,” said Steve Vladeck, CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor at the University of Texas School of Law.

“The fact that no justice even asked Dominion or the other defendants to respond to the petition says everything that needs to be said about how seriously they took this appeal – which is to say, not at all,” Vladeck added.

...

The voters claimed that the company, along with the other named parties, “engaged in concerted action to interfere with the 2020 presidential election through a coordinated effort to, among other things, change voting laws without legislative approval, use unreliable voting machines, alter votes through an illegitimate adjudication process” and “privately fund only certain municipalities and counties.”

A federal judge in Colorado dismissed the case last year, saying the group of voters “allege no particularized injury traceable to the conduct of Defendants, other than their general interest in seeing elections conducted fairly and their votes fairly counted.”

“When the alleged injury is undifferentiated and common to all members of the public or a large group, courts routinely dismiss such cases as ‘generalized grievances’ that cannot support standing,”

Voters do not have standing. Candidates defeated through fraud do not have standing. Who does?

Elections are illegitimate

Courts won’t help

What’s left?

Yes and more to come. Not only will Walker loose tomorrow we will never again see the Republicans win all three chambers. The only reason they won the slim majority in the house was because the rats aren’t stupid…they will apply the fraud tourniquet slowly and by 2024 they will have all three chambers.

Therefore, the SC ahos need to stop Dominion from making millions off of lawsuits of people who supposedly hurt their friggin’ feelings. Nobody knows if Dominion helped the commie RATS steal the electoon or not. Therefore, lawsuits are a waste of time.

It appears the Supreme Court has a painting of judge Roy Bean in their quarters.

Are the laws and court precedents defining standing themselves constitutional?

The courts don't want to get involved, so yes, they got away with it.

Our judicial system is nearly wholly corrupt, referring to the stance that voters and watchdogs have no standing.

That is to be expected as fascists take power and they have planned and strategized for more that four decades. Idiots think the money they were paid will save their status.

A rude awakening awaits the useful idiots.

This isn’t going end well for the world, unless unbridled evil floats your boat.

You don’t have standing to sue before the election. You haven’t been harmed yet.

You don’t have standing to sue after the election. The point is moot.

Election law is unenforceable therefore our elections (so called) are completely lawless.

No one has standing, but perhaps those invoking their 2nd amendment rights. That’s where this is heading. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.

Nobody.

Siddown and shaddap.

We, the Ruling Class, make The Rules. Everything not mandatory is forbidden.

You will own nothing, eat garbage, serve our whims, and be miserable.

Voters who had an electoon stolen from them have no “standing”. Its time to defund these Feral courts and fire all of the Feral “judges”. They are too anti-American. If a group of freeloading illegal aliens brought a lawsuit against Dominion, they’d be rolling in the dough right now. They have “standing”. Americans don’t.

"The fact that no justice even asked Dominion or the other defendants to respond to the petition says everything that needs to be said about how seriously they took this appeal – which is to say, not at all,"

This was noted days ago when this case was first posted. It had zero chance, and not just because of standing.
