So this is really happening ...

Incidentally, the author is a lawyer.

On the docket means filed. It doesn’t mean it will be decided. Upon receipt of the responses the court can still decide not to hear the case

has Roberts been given his Orders from Malta, yet?

...hopefully, SCOTUS will do the right thing...

Roberts can’t do sh*t.

Note that Court decisions to uphold the law are now considered “shocking”.

Why Breitbart doesn’t have this story posted is a mystery.

“to appoint a new set of presidential electors in a manner that does not violate the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment, or to appoint no presidential electors at all.”

Exactly what I’ve been saying. SCOTUS cannot “overturn” the election or force the states to lose their electors. They can, and hopefully will, order the states to remedy this themselves by appointing their electors in a constitutional manner or else lose them entirely.

One has to wonder why the Trump campaign never got this lawsuit filed long ago by the red states.

[utahagen]

You are correct...but I think SCOTUS justices of all stripes may have motives - good and bad — to WANT to hear this case. I am hopeful it will be heard. PRAY.

[Religion and Politics]

Needless to say, if the current election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are overturned, the left will have a massive temper tantrum. Cities all over the nation would burn and we would see endless civil unrest for the foreseeable future.

Why is this always a one way deal? Why not a tantrum regardless of which way the Supremes decide?

No way they overturn IMO.

And since all four of those state legislatures are controlled by Republicans, that would seem to favor President Trump.

The Democratic response to this is very clear and probably effective. Terrorize the legislators via Antifa stormtroopers showing up at their houses and burning them, killing family pets, terrorizing their children, blackmailing them, and, if they are still not amenable to appointing the Biden electors, killing the legislators and disposing of their bodies offshore.

I was afraid that the evil empire might attempt to censure the article and therefore posted it in its entirety.

Snyder is widely published and the article might be innocently timing out due to volume ... or maybe not.

I suggest you try again from time to time.

[utahagen]

I am betting Trump's/WH’s lawyers have been working behind the scenes to get this lawsuit filed.

[glennaro]

And if the states refuse to do this, I presume that because neither candidate will have 270 electoral votes the presidential election goes to the House and the vice-presidential election goes to the Senate ... right?

[AnglePark]

Have more red states actually joined the case? I was seeing this last night, but so far haven’t come across anything this morning.

[kjam22]

This court will find a way to side with Texas without overturning the election.....

[KevinB]

This is very good news. Obviously, though, we would not be able to trust the week-kneed Republican legislators in the contested states to do the right thing and award their votes to Trump. Hopefully, they would just refuse to award any votes and let it go to the House.
