The U.S. Supreme Court denied a day-old bid by a Republican congressman to reverse President Donald Trump’s election defeat.
In a one-sentence order Thursday, the justices rejected Representative Louie Gohmert’s request to block Vice President Mike Pence from invoking the law that governed the congressional-vote counting session. The court acted even though the case was seemingly moot after Congress ratified Joe Biden’s victory win early Thursday in a session interrupted the previous day by rioters.
