The three Democrat-appointed Supreme Court justices have all recused themselves from a lawsuit against them brought by an activist for failing to hear lawsuits challenging the “results” of the 2020 election.
The high court ultimately rejected the lawsuit, brought by Utah's Raland J. Brunson. The three Democratic appointees, Justices Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson noted their recusal requirements in an unsigned order, due to being named parties.
According to the petition filed by Mr. Brunson, a lower court ruled that the justices are not immune to the litigation. He wrote in the filing, representing himself, that “the issues presented in this case are very sensitive, serious, and wide-spread and affect all of America.”
Brunson sued for fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil conspiracy, and breach of contract, which he contended was all developed under their oath of office.
According to his filing, the justices have taken the oath of office and, after doing so, violated that oath by providing comfort and aid to those who oppose the Constitution, which is a breach of contract, fraud, and an act of treason.
Brunson filed a lawsuit in 2022 against more than 300 federal officials, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, VP Mike Pence, and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, as well as dozens of congressman over their failure to investigate obvious election fraud during the 2020 election. The justices refused to hear that case.
For oral arguments to have been granted, at least four justices would have had to vote in favor of hearing the case.
