There are no Justices with the courage to make a ruling in their favor.

And certainly not 5 of them.

I don't know the law in this case; but someone else here may know if SCOTUS can decide on the question of whether the accused did break their oaths (assuming that is actionable), without the High Court having to be the ones to exact the consequences asked for in the case (that all those hundreds of individuals step down)?

Could SCOTUS refer the consequences over to the House, or the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate? I have no idea.

I'm almost sad that I read this, which gives hope, when it is so likely to be unanswered in the present swampadoodle. But it would seem that more than a handful of those named in the suit will no longer be in office after January; so the destabilization of the government would not be quite as severe. Or, the court could order some stages of discovery that would scare many others into stepping down, when the truth is about to come out from emails or other evidence.

Asking God's favor on this pleading.

Justice Alito had ordered a stay in Pennsylvania in 2020 and IIRC, he had the support of Thomas and Gorsuch, but our darling Amy girl wouldn't commit to hearing that case. IMHO, the justices didn't want a repeat of the 2000 election in which the court decided the election in favor of Bush. That damaged the court's reputation with many, as it was viewed as a political decision. What is intriguing about this case is that it allows the court to criticize Congresscritters for not investigating the election returns before certifying them, without themselves adjudging the facts of the 2020 election themselves. All they need show is that there were serious issues raised, but they were never investigated by those under oath to investigate them.

Personally, it appears to me that the venue is wrong, and this case should have been brought in D.C. due to jurisdictional issues, and it resembles a quo warranto action in some regards. The Justices might order the case transferred to the U.S. District Court in D.C. for further proceedings. We will know more after the results of the SCOTUS conference Jan. 6, 2023.
