FLORIDA HAS ALREADY JOINED. With Arizona being the latest to file an Amicus Brief, there are now 19 states.

For the last week, I’ve been telling people on my shows that I was annoyed by the Pennsylvania case hitting the Supreme Court first. It was the weakest case that I’ve seen, in my non-attorney opinion, but in being right about it I may have been proven very wrong.
I assumed it would get kicked over timing, not merits. The merits of the case were strong but there’s no reason it should have been brought up after the election. Some have countered that you can’t file a complaint until the crime is committed, but this particular piece of legislation was constitutionally flawed from the start. There was no need to wait for the election to declare it unconstitutional.
Now, I’ve been going down a different path. It seems I may have been right for the wrong reasons. It’s conspicuous that the emergency injunction request was kicked without accompanying comments from SCOTUS. They justify pretty much everything they rule for or against, so the fact they simply said no is interesting. That usually only happens when they have a future ruling possible that they do not want prejudiced by previous judgments. In other words, if you don’t want your words to come back to bite you, say nothing.
Enter the Texas case. It’s a doozy. It essentially says the same thing, but from a national perspective that includes three other states. That’s big. Is it possible that the Supreme Court, having seen the upcoming case already docketed for Texas, chose to push the Pennsylvania case aside for the larger case to come forward? Yes, that seems very possible. I’m not saying that’s what happened, but it could make a whole lot of sense, as I detailed in the latest episode of NOQ Report.
Whether the Pennsylvania injunction relief was denied to make room for the Texas case or not, many Trump supporters turn to the Supreme Court to get it right this time around. We wait with bated breath.
It wasn’t dismissed.
The case is alive.
The emergency injunction was denied.
The guy subbing for Mark Levin tonight, Doc something, said yes!
I read the Texas case has grown to 17 states.
RE: I read the Texas case has grown to 17 states.
Including Texas, 19 states ( Arizona just joined by filing an Amicus brief )
And Florida will make 18 if they decide to join.
The key thing is four states overturns the ejection. Pa alone does not
Thus Texas is prescient
I only stated that the case was not dismissed.
That is a fact.
I wondered about that myself.
RE: The guy subbing for Mark Levin tonight, Doc something, said yes!
That would be KARN-FM radio host Doc Washburn.
Yep, that is my understanding as well. Emergency injunction denied but the request for cert not acted on.
I suspect the Supreme Court decided to hang back to see if a more solid case would come their way. If not then they would address cert. it appears the Supreme Court believes the Texas case is a better choice to move forward and the PA case can wait on the side.
That’s him! Yes,he said he was subbing out of Arkansas.
What does it mean “to intervene”?
"I love how she [SCOTUS Justice ACB] made the point several times during her hearing process that “Judges are not Policymakers”. Thats a lot of what the Texas lawsuit is arguing. Judges in all those states cannot just rule to change the voting laws. If they didn’t know, they’ll be finding out very soon."
I think we're gonna win this.
Bill O’Reilly on today’s Hannity radio show (December 9, 2020) predicted that the US Supreme Court will deny Texas with any excuse not to overturn the election. Bill said they will likely push the narrative that Texas has no standing in the case. Sean Hannity sort of agreed with him.
I disagree with Bill in the sense that Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett were all nominated by Trump. It doesn’t mean that they will vote with Trump but if they vote no, they at least want to explain their reasons why. The Pennsylvania case with a one sentence order denying the injunction against the certification of Pennsylvania’s election results doesn’t seem like what Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett would do to Trump. Maybe they are just waiting to rule for Trump in the Texas case.
I hope the Supremes invalidate the elections in those rebel states.
