Kraken lawyer Sidney Powell says she has "4 cases with massive evidence of fraud pending" at the Supreme Court.
Not one of them is currently listed on the court's public docket.

Trump lawyer @JennaEllisEsq also said the court could still take up the case Rep. @MikeKellyPA lost there last week. It can't unless he files a cert petition, and I don't see one of those on the public docket, either.
Powell is still soliciting donations for this stuff, though.
Between apparently-nonexistent Supreme Court cases and phony alternate slates of electors being approved by legislatures that aren't even in session, what started out as merely a super-longshot effort to subvert the voters' will is now deep in total-fantasyland.
Still nothing on the Supreme Court docket .....
Update: At least two of Powell's longshot election lawsuits are docketed at the Supreme Court. There are petitions dated Friday, but they didn't show up in the docket search for me until this evening.

(Having something on the docket means you filled out the paperwork sufficiently correctly. It doesn't mean the court will do anything. It is significance only in the sense that if you don't manage to get it on the docket, the court can't do anything.)
From the Georgia lawsuit: Powell & Co. are asking for an "immediate, emergency" injunction to prevent various Georgia officials from allowing the state's electors to cast their votes for Biden. The electors did in fact cast their votes for Biden yesterday, so .....
Powell filed a notice today telling the Supreme Court that legislatures in Georgia and three other states "used their plenary authority" under the Constitution to let Republican electors vote for Trump on a "contingent" basis.
No. Georgia's legislature isn't even in session.

Powell repeats that Georgia's legislature endorsed the "contingent slate of Republican electors," though she notes that "it did not go so far as to formally withdraw" the actual electors who voted for Biden.
Puzzle: How can a legislature that's not in session endorse anything?

Anyway, she says these fictional developments show that her clients - who would have been Trump electors had he won - definitely now have standing.
Powell filed something similar in Michigan, where she claimed Trump electors "received the endorsement" of the legislature.
The endorsement in Michigan was so emphatic that the purported Republican electors weren't even allowed inside the Capitol.

The filing says Powell & Co. filed separate petitions for mandamus from each of the four district court cases in which they were obliterated for many reasons. I still can't find entries for the Wisconsin and Arizona cases on the court's docket search, though.
