A lawsuit surrounding the 2020 presidential election was fast-tracked to the Supreme Court in January because of its impact on national security.
The case, Brunson v. Adams, was brought against 388 federal officers, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Mike Pence for failing to evaluate states’ warnings about illegal votes.
The plaintiff, Raland J. Brunson of Utah, argues that these federal officials violated their oath to defend the Constitution by certifying the 2020 election without any investigation after receiving valid requests.
The question before the court is not whether the election was valid, but that by violating their oath to defend the Constitution and investigate possible interference, they invalidated themselves from holding public office.

The Supreme Court initially rejected hearing the case after a meeting on Jan. 6. However, the plaintiff filed a petition for a rehearing, arguing that there must be a penalty for violating oaths of office or else they are "not binding."
In the 10-page petition, Brunson compares a rigged election to war, since both “put into power” a “victor.” He adds that “when members of Congress become aware of such allegations an investigation into these allegations is required or they become violators of their Oath of Office.”
Last Tuesday the Supreme Court shot down the case for a second time. A vote tally of the nine justices was not made public and no explanation for the two rejections was provided.
“Moving on to plan C,” Brunson wrote on Facebook after the rejection announcement. “We understand this to be a possible long but worthy goal. The result is that everyone in this nation will have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that the candidate of their choice will be bound by their oath to protect the rights and freedom of the people they represent.”
He added that more details on his next course of action will be shared in the coming days.
