The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Saturday evening reversed a lower court’s block on certifying the state’s elections issued Friday night, dismissing with prejudice a lawsuit brought by Republican candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives that sought to have the results nullified over constitutional concerns about a 2019 change in absentee ballot rules. The lead plaintiffs in the case are Rep. Mike Kelly and Sean Parnell.

The Supreme Court has already said "Presidential Elections are different, we ALWAYS have the right to poke our nose in as it's a Federal Issue."
Secondly the PA Supremes are apparently inventing de novo the idea that tolling applies to Constitutional violations.
Tribe can go gargle his own bodily fluids somewhere else.
I realized the trial judge’s order had problems upon reading Ed Morrisey’s comment on Hot Air that the plaintiffs knew of the problem nine months ago, when the law was enacted, and waited until after the election to file suit. That posed a clear defense of laches and my wife told me that was what the Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw it out on.
But didn’t the Pa Supreme Court, in helping the Pa SOS, allow the rules to be changed a month or so before the election? Didn’t they allow the SOS to change the law when it that responsibility is on the legislature? And isn’t that one of the things that is/was being challenged?
Good!

Just means it goes to the U.S. Supreme Court faster. 8>)
Yes, especially when the state supreme court is taking actions interfering with the 12th amendment right of the legislature to set election process. They have no clean hands.
Is the law unconstitutional or not? Does it evade the required constitutional mechanism for altering mail in balloting?
How can the PA SC ignore this?
Update!
Judge rules pro-Trump case established a ‘likelihood to succeed on the merits’ in Pennsylvania

What would “I” have “we” to do? I wouldn’t tell anyone what to do per se, but the conservatives sat on their hands during mid-term elections and allowed many GOP seats to be lost to flaming liberals. We sat on our hands while domestic terrorists rained down hell on the areas they lived. We allowed Pelosi and company to attempt impeachment on a president who did NOTHING wrong. We should have been out there picketing her day and night tormenting the hell out of her. Then the ballot issue....hundreds of thousands, if not millions, were mailed to incorrect addresses or with incorrect return addresses. Rather than raise holy hell they be made invalid before the fact, we did nothing. Instead they were used/abused after the fact which is how we have the walking corpse as the new president elect. We did nada as a whole because it feels safe with Trump at the helm. I admit it felt safe for me anyway....and now I am sure walking corpse and the CU*T VP will make 11 million illegals citizens and there will never, at least in our lifetime and that of our children and grandchildren, be another conservative president.
Along the same line of your points..... how about them having a chance of getting a big stack of Supreme Court justices to join them in the future.
PA’s “Supreme Court” is relegating itself to irrelevance - bigly and quickly.
Latches?
So according to the PA Nazi judges, I can pass a law making you a slave and lock you in the basement to do slavery stuff. And if you don’t catch me within a specific time, I can claim “LATCHES!”
LOL!!!!!!
Deep state operatives outing themselves
they can’t help it
Different lawsuits involving different issues. I agree the PA supreme court is dirty, but even a stopped clock can be right twice a day. This particular lawsuit was one of those instances.
All of the conservatives justices are newbies except for Thomas. Thomas is a rock.
You’re not homophonic, are you? ;)
The real screwup here was by Trump. We all thought he had thousands of lawyers ready to go but he didn't and was caught by surpise. It looks like he was the only Republican in the country who didn't know the Democrats had a nationwide criminal conspiracy going to cheat massively in the states of Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
That cost us our freedom. We shouldn't give him another chance to screw up.
I guess I don't know how this works. Where does Trump get "thousands of lawyers ready to go?". And once there are voting irregularities, what could such lawyers do that were already done? Replican inspectors reported the abuse and tried to receive relief. The crooked organizations in these democrat counties violated the orders to permit the inspectors back in by corralling them impossibly far away. Local courts see uninterested in hearing about these abuses. The president's team went straight to the PA legislature in an attempt to circumvent these politically motivated counter meansures. Tomorrow, Monday 11/30, we shall see what fruit the President's lawyers can produce in this approach -- COTUS Article 2, Section 1.
Act77 was challenged by plaintiffs as soon as they had standing. Here's the thing about unconstitutional laws -- they are null and void from their inception. And as soon as they were applied to federal elections, those damaged parties harmed by the law had standing to sue. And they did. No, the PA SC abrogated their responsibility by floating this absurd excuse not to enforce the constitution of the State of PA.
And there is still outstanding the earlier PA case when the PA SC changed the election laws, another COTUS Article 2, Section 1 fight. That was a 4-4 vote with Alito indicating that it was a clear violation of COTUS. With Trump's appointment of ACQ, when that case is revisited, which it should be thanks to the appeal of Act77, we should see Act77 ruled as violating not only COTUS Article 2, Section 1 (even Legislatures must act in accordance with their Constitutional responsibiites) but also a violation of equal protection. It's not clear what the relief/remedy migh be -- invalidating mail-in ballots not scrutinized according the PA law, demanding a new election in PA with the Legislature appointing the presidential electors, or some combination thereof.
You still have your freedom. But I surely won't be counting on you to fight for it when push comes to shave and when the sun isn't shining.
That’s neaux excuse ;-)
