The Unites States Supreme Court will consider the Pennsylvania election case, Sidney Powell's Michigan case and Lin Wood's Georgia case for February 19, 2021.

The Washington Examiner reported:

The Supreme Court on Friday listed several high-profile election lawsuits for consideration at its mid-February conference.

The cases include challenges to the 2020 election from Trump-aligned lawyers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, as well as Republican Rep. Mike Kelly's Pennsylvania lawsuit. Nearly every lawsuit takes issue with the expanded use of mail-in ballots by many states.

The decision came after the court declined to fast-track all election-related litigation in early January.

In nearly every plea for expedition, lawyers backing former President Donald Trump told the court that if the cases were not heard before President Biden's inauguration, their success would be unlikely.

But after the court pushed them off, many lawyers said that the challenges were still important and could have long-term implications for election fairness. Trump lawyer John Eastman told the Washington Examiner that even with Trump out of office, it was important to settle the issues raised by expanded mail-in voting.

US President Joe Biden has just revoked the National Security Council (NSC) reform undertaken by his predecessor, President Donald Trump [1].

Upon taking office, the latter excluded the CIA director and the Chief of Joint Military Forces from the regular sessions of the Council [2]. In so doing, he isolated the SNC from the influence of the chief architects of US imperialism. That reform enabled him to become the second president since World War II not to start a new war. The first president was Democrat Jimmy Carter, who was elected in the wake of a flurry of revelations highlighting the coups d'état and assassinations carried out by the Agency around the world.

President Biden's recent move makes it clear that he intends to resuscitate the Agency's dirty tricks. The director of the CIA and the Chief of Joint Military Forces will again attend all meetings of the National Security Council, but not necessarily those involving the "Principals", i.e. the main government officials.

The metal detectors were installed just outside the House chamber after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) said she intended to bring a Glock onto the House floor.

That was shortly after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot during which supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the building and disrupted certification of President Biden's victory, leaving five dead.

New York Democratic Rep. Grace Meng tweeted last month: "This isn't really helpful in terms of potential future rioters but it's actually to help protect us from our own colleagues."

Some Republicans, including Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), said they would defy the metal detectors on principle because they believe the Constitution says lawmakers cannot be detained coming or going from the floor.

Roy and Massie, who both previously breezed through the detectors without stopping when they flashed red, were not among the first to face fines.

Pelosi separately imposed a $500 fine last month for legislators who don't wear face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. A second offense costs $2,500. That rule brought into quick compliance a group of conservative Republicans who had declined to wear masks on the House floor.
