Fox news:

155, ORIG. TEXAS V. PENNSYLVANIA, ET AL. The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot. Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. See Arizona v. California, 589 U. S. ___ (Feb. 24, 2020) (Thomas, J., dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.

OK then. From now on just cheat in elections. Cheat like there’s no tomorrow. The penalties are light and that’s only if/when they actually care to investigate.

Stuff ballot boxes

Do not report how many ballots you have until after Democrat strongholds report 100%.

Ballot harvest

Get our operatives in charge of the counting

Throw out Democrat poll watchers

Administratively cancel Democrat votes

Just win at all costs. There are no laws. It’s only about obtaining and holding power.

Texas and other states are expected to abide by the National election, are expected to abide by the laws passed by the elected administration...But have no standing on how that election is conducted?

not just the next 4 years. there is now no way to ever overcome massive democrat voter fraud.

You're correct, of course. My stupid mistake. Looks like "forever" now. Why vote if this is the way it's gonna be??

NEVER admit he is President. Pray and work for a Democrat massecure in 2022 and 2024. Above all, stay righteously angry. President Trump will go down in history as a great President.

Well... Not a shock, I assume Trump would have standing, but his team seemed slow, and now no way SCOTUS would do anything since next week is 14 Dec.

They are saying its outside the court’s jurisdiction.

They are right - but the affected state legislatures can simply step in and assign their electors in any way they think is just. Or they could, if they had the courage...

Actually, I predicted that the matter of standing would block this case from consideration.

My fellow Freepers, while I acknowledge the moral righteousness here and also acknowledge that "no standing" is a typical judicial dodge to avoid making controversial rulings, we have to ask ourselves if one state really has standing to sue over how another state runs its business.

Common sense and morality are not necessarily the basis on how The Law works.

Trump and Team USA are never going to win in the courts due to the bipartisan nature of the ongoing coup.

Thomas and Alito wanted to hear the case. Decision then was 7-2 against hearing the Texas filing.

The Court chose to evolve toward irrelevancy.

Well the lower courts said Wood, as a Ga voter, doesn’t have standing. What will SCOTUS say?

I’m not feeling very optimistic.

It’s now up to the state legislatures to appoint their States Electors.
