(Posted in CHAT) I honestly don't know. What happens if SCOTUS takes the case and what happens if they don't?

I don't have a clue about all the legal stuff going on and I certainly don't understand the latin terms being used.

My question(s) are: 1) What will the SCOTUS decision be if they hear the case and 2) What happens if they don't?

In my opinion, this election has been stolen through blatant, in your face, slap your mama fraud with the guilty parties not caring they were caught since big media (the networks) and big tech (facebook, etc.) are denying and deleting any dissent.

I grew up in the 50's. This makes me fear for the future of my grandkids..

My prediction is that they won't due to the turmoil it will ultimately create......

Let the attacks begin......

They WILL and they ARE taking up the case. According to Thomas, there is no option to not take up an Original Jurisdiction case (OJ’s are in the minority, most are appeals).

I think the most likely is sort-of a punt, but not really: Rule that the electors are invalid, and the legislatures must pick new ones.

Then, each of those four legislatures could choose Bitem electors or Trump electors. SCOTUS need not “select” a POTUS.

But, the net effect is - SCOTUS selecting electors, but indirectly. Kind of like sharing the selection.

If they don’t take the case:

1. we do nothing and live under a tyrannical oligarchy
2. we rise up, full on national strike, in the streets until the government falls and we have honest elections again.

If they take the case:

1. rule against us - then see above
2. rule for us - the BLM / Antifa restart mass rioting, or the left takes it quietly, complains constantly, and waits until 2022 to try the same thing again

What happens if Congress refuses to seat electors from PA, GA, MI and WI? What if state legislators refuse to appoint electors?

There are issues raised in the case that the court can decide- most notably the extent of state legislatures control of their federal elections.
I don’t see how they can rule on any evidence though.
Perhaps they can keep cases on those charges from closing down from liberal rulings on “laches” (timeliness) and “standing”.
We desperately need the charges tested in court!

Anyway, the Congress will decide the election. As always.

Neither does anybody else.

The outrageous level of fraud perpetrated by the Democrats has mired us all in quicksand.

Law and precedent doesn’t have anything to do with it at this point.

It all depends on five of the nine justices understanding that America ends if the theft is allowed to stand.

What would Jesus do?

I think they go ALL in.

They won’t do nothing at this point. They will take up the case. They may say nothing to see here. But, one thing they won’t do: refuse to hear the case.

It’s going to create turmoil no matter which whey they rule.

They are in a definitely unenviable position, and they just have to do what’s right (ruling solely on constitutional grounds) and step back. Whatever happens is not their fault, but the fault of the forces that have built up this crisis. The justices can’t stop it no matter what they do.

This case isn’t about “widespread fraud”. It’s about who has the authority to hold and administer presidential elections. A handful of states used COVID as an excuse to ride roughshod over Constitutional and statutory standards.

You know. We can be the cause of turmoil too.

There aren’t any half measures in this case. It’s either constitutional or not.

I however, I guess there is the possibility that they will kick it back to the state legislatures.,..although the legislatures couldn’t control it in the first place, and the fact that there are so many states involved in the suit (which is at the state level) makes it seem to me like this is within their competency only and they will have to make a decision.

First off, the likelihood that the court will hear the case is MUCH higher than many people (including so-called experts) are saying. The full court hasn’t gone on record as to their feelings on the matter, but since the USSC is the only venue for this type of case to be heard, Alito and Thomas are on record as believing that the court MUST accept all such cases. I just read what they wrote on that and they wrote it as part of a dissent on a case between states. The fact that others didn’t chime in and say they felt the same way does NOT in any way mean that others on the court don’t have a similar view. It merely means that they didn’t chime in on the dissent. I expect that there are others on the court (perhaps even a majority) that hold this view.

Either way, original jurisdiction makes this case much more likely to be heard than appeals to the court.

What will happen if the case is not heard is...nothing. It’s over. And really, IMHO, Trump’s challenges in the legal arena end there.

If it is heard, it could go a number of ways. They could hold hearings. They could even have a full blown trial, which is unusual in the USSC, but possible with this rare kind of case. Nobody knows.

But if they take the case, our cause lives on another day. If they don’t, we will immediately know just how hopeless things are, where we stand, and what needs to be done.
