CLAIM: The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case to remove President Joe Biden from office and reinstate former President Donald Trump in his place.

AP'S ASSESSMENT: False. The Supreme Court has not decided to hear such a case. On Feb. 21, the justices rejected for a second time to hear a case that cites baseless 2020 election fraud claims to call for the court to oust from office hundreds of elected officials, including Biden, as well as to prevent them from holding any elected government position again. Several days later, a website published an article incorrectly stating that the case was going ahead, but the post has since been taken down.

THE FACTS: Nearly one week after the Supreme Court justices doubled down on their decision not to hear the suit, social media users falsely claimed the opposite.

One Instagram post shared a screenshot of a headline reading: "Supreme Court To Hear Case To Reinstate Donald Trump Over 'Rigged' Election." It had received nearly 1,400 likes as of Wednesday.

The full article, which was published on Feb. 26, four days after the decision, stated that the court was "reconsidering hearing" the lawsuit "after previously dismissing it earlier this year." It has since been taken down, and an article published on Feb. 28 by the same author correctly reports that the court rejected the case.

Other posts made days after the decision echoed the original article's claim that the case still had a chance of being heard. They received tens of thousands of likes and shares on Twitter.

The suit — Adams v. Brunson, et al. — was previously dismissed by a lower court, and that ruling was upheld on appeal, according to court documents. It was then appealed to the Supreme Court in October 2022. The suit argues that Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former Vice President Mike Pence and 385 members of Congress committed treason when they failed to probe baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged.

Further, it calls for the removal of these officials and a ban on their future ability to hold elected office, as well as "the swearing in of the legal and rightful heirs for President and Vice President of the United States." It does not specifically name Trump.

In January 2023, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case and an appeal was filed later that month. The court rejected the case for a second time on Feb. 21.

Aziz Huq, a professor of law at the University of Chicago who is an expert on constitutional law, told The Associated Press that it is unlikely the Supreme Court will ever hear a case such as Adams v. Brunson, given that it relies on a false narrative.

"Certainly something that is founded upon the irresponsible conspiracy mongering fallacies that this petition is based upon seems to me an unlikely fodder for the Supreme Court," he said.

I guess reading comprehension is still a problem for many.  If you actually read the article it states:

The Supreme Court is set to reconsider whether to hear a lawsuit alleging President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former Vice President Mike Pence, 291 House members, and 94 senators violated their oaths of office by refusing to investigate evidence of fraud in the 2020 election before certifying Biden as the victor on Jan. 6, 2021, allowing for Biden and Harris to be "fraudulently" inaugurated.

Now, exactly what was the lie at the time?  I'd say I'll wait but I know all I'll get is more flapping lips and personal attacks just as I saw in the comments section of that article.

The lawsuit may be moronic, but that doesn't mean it wasn't filed.

I made no claim at all when I read your article but if it's false now (and it is) it was false then.  If you post fake news you should expect to get called out on it.

One would think that the SCOTUS judges are a helluva lot smarter than to fall for conspiracy theories. Sounds like an awful lot of disrespect thrown at said judges

One would think that the SCOTUS judges are a helluva lot smarter than to fall for conspiracy theories.

What these "stop the steal" people wanted were cases to be taken up so they could dig around to find the evidence they didn't have during discovery. One must have enough evidence to present at court for the judge(s) to assume a case has a chance to win for it to go forward. Basing things on inuendo and fake news doesn't seem like a winning proposition.
