Spanish – A new disappointment in the indomitable battle of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, after the Supreme Court ruling against the complaint filed in Texas to challenge the November elections.
His legal team, headed by attorney Rudy Giuliani, said Friday that Trump’s defense is considering filing separate lawsuits in district court. He called the court’s decision a “terrible mistake.”
“Basically, the courts are saying they want to stay out of this, and they don’t want to give us a hearing, and they don’t want the American people to hear these facts,” Guiliani told Newsmax.
The response of the highest judicial instance, “without wisdom or courage,” represents for the Republican leader the lack of institutional values. Likewise, it translates into the rupture of his expectations sown in the lawsuit that would invalidate the victory of Democrat Joe Biden on January 20, 2021.
Therefore, Giuliani, along with attorney Jenna Ellis, will stick to a different strategy. First, he explained that all the facts reported need “to be aired and somebody needs to make a decision on whether they are true or false and some court’s going to have the courage to make that decision.”
The lawyers are working around the clock and without a break. It is on them to “explore” alternative legal strategies to challenge Joe Biden’s leadership in key states with Jenna Ellis. According to Just the News, the deadline for action is January 6, the date Congress plans to accept the electors’ decision.
“The answer to that is to bring the case now in the district court by the president, by some of the electors, alleging the same facts where there would be standing and therefore get a hearing,” Giuliani continued.
Everything changed quickly
The U.S. president is watching the case. He expressed his displeasure on Twitter. In an extensive message, he related his frustration with a “rigged election” that is demonstrated by the lack of support from the courts for the accusations presented by his legal team, taking into account that the Supreme Court issued this ruling a few days after rejecting a request from the Republican Party to reverse the certification of the Democrat Joe Biden in the state of Pennsylvania, according to the BBC.
Trump doesn’t hide his emotions. In his public statement he said that one day “So, you’re the President of the United States, and you just went through an election where you got more votes than any sitting President in history, by far – and purportedly lost. You can’t get “standing” before the Supreme Court, so you “intervene” with wonderful states….. and suddenly, everything disappears, without even arguing why,” he wrote on Twitter.
He is surprised and does not hide it. However, his efforts to prove police fraud are far from over. He made that clear. He promised. “We will continue the struggle” is part of his protest speech.
So, you’re the President of the United States, and you just went through an election where you got more votes than any sitting President in history, by far – and purportedly lost. You can’t get “standing” before the Supreme Court, so you “intervene” with wonderful states…..

Far from the dispute
The conflict makes the Supreme Court uncomfortable. According to the BBC journalist in Washington, Anthony Zurcher, this decision showed that the instance “seeks to keep away from the post-electoral dispute” although the president’s message is forceful: the mail ballots were counted after the deadline.
“There are questions about who changed these deadlines,” explains Louis Caldera, a former member of the Obama administration consulted by Euronews. Was it the legislator, an election commission, a court? And if it was a court, did it exceed its powers under the state constitution or under the federal constitution to change those deadlines?
Those are some of Trump’s questions for which he seeks judicial answers that are now being denied by the nine members of the Supreme Court, including three judges appointed by him who concluded that Texas had no right to interfere in the organization of elections in other states.
And the court’s decision has supporters, including Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who tweeted in support of the court that the ruling “is an important reminder that there is a nation of laws, and while some may yield to the desire of a single person, the courts will not.”
These positions do not discourage the Republicans who turned to Washington, D.C. to revive the large pro-Trump rally that drew some 10,000 to the capital a couple of weeks ago. On that day, supporters experienced the president’s furor in his official vehicle, but it culminated in some isolated clashes with local activists near the White House.
