If the Supreme Court takes up the Pennsylvania election case from Congressman Mike Kelly and Sean Parnell, Senator Ted Cruz will be the one arguing the case before the high court:
If #SCOTUS grants cert in the PA election case, I have told the petitioners I will stand ready to present the oral argument.

Ted Cruz last week urged the high court to take up the case:
Because of the importance of the legal issues presented, I've publicly urged #SCOTUS to hear the case brought by Congressman Mike Kelly, congressional candidate Sean Parnell & state rep. candidate Wanda Logan challenging the constitutionality of the POTUS election results in PA.

Petitioners’ legal team has asked me whether I would be willing to argue the case before #SCOTUS, if the Court grants certiorari. I have agreed, and told them that, if the Court takes the appeal, I will stand ready to present the oral argument.

As I said last week, the bitter division and acrimony we see across the Nation needs resolution. I believe #SCOTUS has a responsibility to the American People to ensure, within its powers, that we are following the law and following the Constitution.

Just yesterday, Justice Alito moved the deadline for a response from Pennsylvania officials from Wednesday to tomorrow morning at 9am. So I would expect that some time tomorrow we will hear whether the Supreme Court has taken up the case or not.
