Justice Breyer is retiring, Justice Thomas’ wife needs scrutiny, Justices Duff-man, No Mask and Blank Sheet have no business being on the court, but we might need to start talking about Justice Alito. Let’s let Sidney Powell show us why.🧵👇🏻

Former judge and current congressman from Texas’ 1st District Louie Gohmert filed a lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence. Well, his lawyers filed the lawsuit. His lawyers were from a group called Defending the Republic. See below to know who that is.

Gohmert, sorry Sidney Powell argued that the Electoral Count Act was unconstitutional (📌1). This article from Powell also now reveals that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and his number 2, Whip Steve Scalise, worked to support Gohmert and Powell’s efforts.

In this future 3 page trial exhibit written by Sidney Powell, she also reveals that a member of Congress delivered Gohmert’s suit to SCOTUS on Jan 6th. We should probably find out who that was. But Powell may be revealing a lot more here.

If you’ve ever wondered why it was Louie Gohmert that sued Pence, we may have an answer. Sidney Powell is telling us that the Circuit Justice for Louie Gohmert’s district could enter an injunction against the Electoral Count Act and that Justice was Alito.

Why was Sidney Powell so confident that Justice Alito would take up Gohmert’s case? Why were the number 1 and number 2 Republicans in the House so determined to stop Nancy Pelosi from joining Gohmert’s case?

These questions and many others need to be answered by the @January6thCmte which brings us to our pinned item.

📌1 was Gohmert/Powell’s argument to Justice Alito that the Electoral Count Act was unconstitutional. It’s the same argument in Eastman’s Memo.

And please, do not lose sight of the fact that Gohmert was not suing Pence by himself. There were other Plaintiffs in that case. Plaintiffs that were also Plaintiff’s in the Kraken lawsuits and who were also 🗣🎙FAAAAAKE EEELECTOOORS lectors ectors tors.

And those Plaintiffs weren’t even in Gohmert’s district! That’s right, those other Plaintiffs were in Arizona.

Now why is this important?

Because Arizona is not in Justice Alito’s Circuit, it’s in Justice Kagan’s. Sidney was judge shopping.

@January6thCmte, it’s time to speak with Louie Gohmert. You may also need to speak with a Supreme Court Justice…or two.

We should know if 2 of the 3 branches of Government were willing to throw our democracy away. Had McCarthy been House speaker, it would have been a clean sweep. Vote accordingly.
