Couple thoughts about the SCOTUS decision:
LittleLinda:
Did we ever find out why PDJT and/or his team met with the USSC last week? I know there was some discussion about ex parte communications.
Maybe he gave them proof that there was interference by a foreign state and provided a copy of his EO covering this exact situation. I don’t remember the timing of that meeting versus the lawsuit events timeline, but this could explain why the Court asked for defensive briefs and then killed the suit a day or two later. They were inclined to consider the case until they learned about the foreign interference.

Texas doesn’t have standing because the fraud was in collusion with foreign states making the fraudsters enemy combatants...
and therefore classifed and under military law not constitutional law.
see executive order on election interference.

My thoughts yesterday fwiw:
A thought just occurred to me about this SCOTUS ruling and applying gnerally.
For years, and I heard AG Barr give a speech about this quite some time ago, the judiciary has become MUCH too powerful. Instead of legislative action, people turn to courts, and judges have become bloated and power mad (my words, not Barr’s). The judiciary needs to resume their proper position in the balance of power between the three branches.
So maybe in the ultimate issue this ruling will actually help to pave the way for a less bloatedly powerful judiciary.
The problem is that it is supposed to be up to state legislatures to set the laws with regards to elections for federal office - not the state Secretaries of State or state courts.
