3 Supreme Court Justices Recuse Themselves

Yesterday, in a rare move within the U.S. Supreme Court, three justices recused themselves from a case related to the 2020 presidential election. Specifically, all three of the liberal justices on the court, Alina Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, as well as Katonji Brown-Jackson, all three of them recused themselves from a lawsuit that's currently on the Supreme Court docket. Although this whole thing requires a bit of backstory. All the way back in the year 2021, a man from Utah named Roland Bronson filed a massive His central claim was that they violated their oath of office by not investigating allegations of election fraud prior to certifying the election winner. The list of respondents in the case was rather long. In fact, it was 388 names long. However, because Congresswoman Alma Adams from North Carolina appeared alphabetically first, the case was given the title Bronson v. Adams. Now, obviously, this is a rather unorthodox type of lawsuit where Mr. Bronson was making the central argument that, quote, And ultimately, he was seeking the very lofty remedy of having Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, as well as the hundreds of members of Congress removed from office. Now, as you would imagine, the lawsuit was dismissed by both the lower courts as well as the appeals court. However, Mr. Bronson then appealed the case all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, who back in January of last year, likewise rejected his petition, quote, In that appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition for certiorari or review in an unsigned order on January 9th, 2023. No justices dissented. No reason was provided for the decision. At least four of the nine justices have to vote to approve a petition of certiorari for it to advance to the oral argument stage. A month later, Mr. Bronson tried again to get a rehearing on the case, but that was also denied. Quote, But as it's becoming clear, Mr. Bronson does not appear to be the type of man to give up so easily. That's because after having his case denied by the appellate court as well as the U.S. Supreme Court, he went ahead and filed this new lawsuit right here called Bronson vs. Sotomayor, wherein he accused the three liberal justices of the court of violating their judicial oath. Specifically, Mr. Bronson, he argued that, quote, Meaning that he took the unusual step of suing the Supreme Court justices themselves for denying his earlier appeal. Now, the second lawsuit of his bounced around the system quite a bit, starting initially within the state's court system before moving on to the federal district court. Quote, Sovereign immunity is the legal doctrine that the government cannot be sued without its consent. Essentially, after the case was moved from the state circuit to the federal circuit, it was ultimately dismissed because the finding, at least, was that the Supreme Court justices enjoyed sovereign immunity. Mr. Bronson then, he appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, arguing that, quote, The doctrine of sovereign immunity runs afoul of the First Amendment's right to petition for redress of grievances. Now, the appellate court did not buy that argument. And back in February of this year, they ruled against Mr. Bronson. However, he's obviously a man on a mission. And as such, Mr. Bronson appealed again to the U.S. Supreme Court itself. Now, in this case, the Solicitor General of the United States, Ms. Elizabeth Prelliger, she functioned as essentially the attorney for the Supreme Court justices being sued. And on May 2nd of this year, she waived the U.S. government's right to respond to the petition, leaving the decision up to the Supreme Court justices themselves. And just yesterday, the following happened, quote, In a rare move, all three liberal Supreme Court justices recused themselves, citing judicial disqualification mandates in the U.S. Code and the Code of Conduct for Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, which was adopted in November of 2023. Essentially, they recused themselves from the case because the case involved them. However, despite that fact, the petition for the case to be taken up was still ultimately rejected. Quote, The Supreme Court denied the petition for review in Bronson versus Sotomayor in an unsigned order without providing a reason. No justices dissented, but Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson did not participate in the ruling. And so with that, the case has met its end, at least for now. However, perhaps the most interesting aspect of this entire case is that the whole thing was done as a petitioner in pro se, meaning that Mr. Bronson did not have a lawyer, but rather he was representing the case himself, making it all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, not once, but twice. If nothing else, these chaotic lawsuits, they do show that a single man can push the envelope quite far. If you'd like to go through the details of the case for yourself, I'll throw the links to the PDF versions of the different court documents. You'll be able to find them down in the description box below this video if you're the type of person that likes to dig into the weeds. And also, if you appreciate content like this, I do hope you take a quick moment to smash those like and subscribe buttons so that the YouTube algorithm will be quite literally forced to share this video to ever more people. All right, just to pause here for a super quick moment. Listen, it's obvious that the financial system is not looking too great after being pumped up with trillions of virtually free government dollars for many, many years now. Well, the stock bubble might actually burst in the near future. And in that process, unfortunately, it could take away the nest egg of anyone who happens to be exposed to it. And so consider taking this opportunity to diversify into something which is beyond the grasp of Washington, D.C. and Wall Street, physical gold and silver. And the best company to use, in my opinion, is the sponsor of today's episode, American Hartford Gold, who I should mention is also my own personal gold and silver bullion dealer. And besides myself, they have thousands of five star reviews from other Americans, and they also have an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. And working with them is rather simple. They have a huge selection of coins, bars and rounds to choose from. They have super friendly staff who you can call and they can set up either gold delivery directly to your doorstep or they can even set you up in a gold IRA. And lastly, best of all, if you tell them the Romans sent you, they will throw in a free gold coin with your first qualifying purchase. So give them a call. The number is 866-242-2352. That's 866-242-2352. Or you can simply text Roman to 65532. I'll also throw a link to their web page. They'll be down there in the description box below. And lastly, if you do appreciate content like this and you just want more content every single week, well, you're in luck because over on Epic TV, our awesome no censorship video platform, I publish anywhere between one to three exclusive episodes of Facts Matter every single week, usually on topics that are unfortunately too spicy for here on YouTube. Of course, everything on there is properly sourced. Everything there is fact based, just like the episodes here. It's just that the topics we cover. Well, they're just not welcome here on YouTube. They have an algorithm that calls crawls my speech. And if I say certain words, it might just take down my video and then I have to fight with the system on the back end. And that's let's just say it's not easy to say the least, to fight with a machine that is programmed to just detect certain things and then just, you know, either suspend the channel or suspend that particular video or give a strike to the channel. It's like it's a mess to say the least. And so that's exactly why we created Epic TV, a platform where we can publish content without even having to think of self-censorship. And until next time, I'm your host, Roman from the Epoch Times. Stay informed. Most importantly, stay free.
