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

[Diogenesis]

has Roberts been given his Orders from Malta, yet?

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

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.

[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.

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.

[BushCountry]

Not trying to be negative, but I honestly believe we are going to be disappointed again. I have no faith in our intuitions of government. That is, two of the three branches, soon the executive branch will be added to that list.

“Cities all over the nation would burn and we would see endless civil unrest for the foreseeable future.”

Those kinds of statements, and I hear them all the time, are irresponsible. The law is supposed to be implemented fairly without fear or favor. Should not be factored in.

“Cities all over the nation would burn” only if allowed to.

[Eleutheria5]

So glad to have been proven wrong, or at least to seem to have been proven wrong.

[MikeyB806]

The Court will punt: it doesn’t want to decide who the President is based on election fraud. It prefers to make decisions on more “important” cases like the right of two dudes to get “married” and have babies or something. (rolls eyes).

Excellent

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.

If the election had been clean, Trump would have been re-elected, and cities all over the nation would burn and we would see endless civil unrest for the foreseeable future.

Unless this issue is dealt with now, every election in the future that didn't please the left would have the same result.

You can't kick the can down the road and expect the problem to fix itself.

[Eleutheria5]

The guy in office for 47 years would be the final solution to those who believe they know what the problem is.
