Mike Lindell Has High Hopes for Supreme Court

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is confident that the U.S. Supreme Court will soon vindicate his 2020 presidential election fraud conspiracy theories.

Lindell, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, said changes were afoot during a Thursday webcast of The Lindell Report and predicted that the Court would soon have no choice but to issue unanimous pro-Trump rulings.

The pillow tycoon specifically mentioned Trump's appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court ruling last month that keeps him off the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado, saying that liberal justices would join with the conservative majority to issue a "9-0 ruling" in the former president's favor.

The Colorado Supreme Court's decision was based on the former president's alleged role in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol—when a group of his supporters violently protested the 2020 election results in an alleged effort to block President Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. The state's supreme court said that Trump violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Trump, the frontrunner in the 2024 GOP presidential primary, requested on Wednesday that the U.S. Supreme Court overturn the Colorado decision, arguing that his removal would "unconstitutionally disenfranchise millions of voters in Colorado and likely be used as a template to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters nationwide." The former president has also maintained that he did not engage in an insurrection during the riot.

"The changes you see out there now...these cases that are going to the Supreme Court now," Lindell said. "One of them being Donald Trump's case in Colorado...that should nine to zero to say, 'Hey you can't go against our Constitution.'"

He continued: "I argued somewhat with [former Trump adviser] Steve Bannon. He said, 'None of your cases are going to [the Supreme Court]'...I go, 'No, I disagree.'"

Meanwhile, Lindell told Newsweek via text message on Friday that he has four other cases that he expects the Supreme Court will take up, without specifying the cases in question.

During his Lindell Report appearance, Lindell said that the cases would be heard because "the difference right now" is that "the public is well aware" that the 2020 election was "stolen."

Lindell argued that widespread adoption of his false election fraud beliefs would force the media to take the claims more seriously and put "pressure" on judges to take up related cases and rule in favor of the falsehoods.

"If you're a judge, you've got a little more pressure on you," Lindell said. "The Supreme Court will have to [do] what they do to protect our country...As these cases start getting there, it's not going to be a 5-4 vote or a 6-3 vote."

He added: "They're going to have to start really being judges. This isn't to be political thing. If it doesn't happen now where these judges, especially the Supreme Court, stands up for our country, it's over."

Lindell did not respond to Newsweek after being asked about the Supreme Court refusing to intervene last October in his appeal of a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against him from Dominion Voting Systems.

The MyPillow CEO has been sued by Dominion and fellow voting machine company Smartmatic for falsely claiming that their machines facilitated voter fraud during the 2020 election.

With his finances having taken a hit, Lindell suggested in October that he would be representing himself in court due to his lawyers withdrawing over millions of dollars in unpaid bills.

Last month, Lindell said during an appearance on Lara Trump's The Right View that he would not have to represent himself after hiring cheaper lawyers.

"I've financed lawsuits, people on the ground, I put $50 to $60 million, every dime I had into this bucket," he said. "Our lawyer bills at MyPillow were $2 million a month to fight these frivolous lawsuits...It's been very hard the last couple months."
