Powell, an attorney who has filed numerous lawsuits in a failed bid to overturn former President
Donald Trump's 2020 election loss, made the comments during an appearance on the conservative
Stew Peters Show on Friday.
She said that as a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol that day, her team was seeking an emergency injunction to prevent the certification of Biden's win.
"We were filing a 12th Amendment cons utional challenge to the process that the Congress was about to use under the Electoral Act provisions that simply don't jive with the 12th Amendment to the United States Cons ution," she said. "And Justice Alito was our circuit justice for that."
She added: "Louie Gohmert was the plaintiff in our lawsuit, and we were suing the vice president to follow the 12th Amendment as opposed to the Electoral College Act."
