() If a Pennsylvania lawsuit over mail-in voting winds up heading to the U.S. Supreme Court, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told Fox News that he will “stand ready to present the oral argument”.

“Petitioners’ legal team has asked me whether I would be willing to argue the case before the Supreme Court, if the Court grants certiorari,” a statement to Fox News from Cruz reads. “I have agreed, and told them that, if the Court takes the appeal, I will stand ready to present the oral argument.”

Moreover, the case was brought by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) and Sean Parnell, a Republican congressional candidate from Pennsylvania, and they argue that mail-in voting is unconstitutional and thus the mail-in ballots should be thrown out, according to Fox News congressional correspondent Mike Emmanuel on Monday’s episode of “Bill Hemmer Reports.”
This wouldn’t be the first time that Cruz has argued in front of a court, having once served as the solicitor general for Texas and having appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court nine times, Emmanuel told Hemmer.
“As I said last week, the bitter division and acrimony across the Nation needs resolution,” Cruz also said to Fox News. “I believe the Supreme Court has that responsibility to the American People to ensure, within its powers, that we are following the law and following the Constitution.”
So far, President Donald Trump‘s legal team and supporters have launched dozens of legal cases challenging the 2020 presidential election in multiple swing states but none have been successful in changing the winner in any states.
As President-elect Joe Biden continues to name appointees for his incoming administration, Trump refuses to concede the election. There are reports that Trump is considering another run in 2024, possibly even announcing such a run on Inauguration Day at a rumored political rally in Florida instead of attending Biden’s swearing-in ceremony in accordance with tradition.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
