(1/4) Breaking: #Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court continues injunction of further #Election2020 certification actions.

The case, brought by PA voters, @MikeKellyPA & @SeanParnellUSA doesn't allege fraud but challenges PA’s mail-in voting law as violating PA’s state constitution.
(2/4) Significantly, court holds those challenging PA’s mail-in law "have established a likelihood to succeed on the merits because [they] have asserted the [PA] Constitution does not provide a mechanism...to allow for expansion of absentee voting w/o a constitutional amendment."
(3/4) Excerpts from opinion and summary here:

(4/4) More than 150 years of PA Supreme Court precedent support the position of those arguing the mail-in voting law should first have been approved by Pennsylvania’s voters in a constitutional referendum (it never was). The case is about the rule of law.

(1/6) Interesting case in #Pennsylvania re: #Election2020 & mail-in voting. Did PA’s General Assembly enact the mail-in voting law in violation of PA’s Constitution? More than 150 years of PA Supreme Court precedent suggests they did.

post-gazette.com/news/crime-cou…
(2/6) One case requiring in-person voting (unless PA Constitution otherwise allows) goes back to 1864. Another precedent in 1924: “The ballot cannot be sent by mail...[PA Sup Ct] cannot be persuaded that the [PA] Constitution ever contemplated any such mode of voting."
(3/6) The precedent continues: “The [PA] Constitution meant, rather, that the voter, in propria persona [i.e., in person], should offer his vote...”

The PA Constitution has been amended to permit absentee voting, but not general mail-in voting.

(1/4) #Catholics for Biden event in #Pittsburgh? Seriously?

@JoeBiden chose a running mate who is overtly & stringently anti-Catholic, imposing religious tests on public office when asking if a judge appointee was a member of #KnightsofColumbus. #prolife

(2/4) And then there’s @JoeBiden’s total support for #abortion, the greatest human rights issue of our time.

And it’s actually not just one issue-it’s 60 million issues.

60 million lives have been lost since #Roe.

60 million.
(3/4) Every year, thousands of #lateterm babies who feel pain are aborted.

Thousands feel pain. Science says so. @JoeBiden supports late term #abortions & he wants taxpayers to pay for it.

#Catholics for Biden are comfortable w/ thousands of late term, pain-filled abortions.
