BREAKING: Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives Joins Texas in Suit Against Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 10 Dec 20 | Joe Hoft

Posted on 12/10/2020 6:11:22 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

The list of states joining Texas continues to increase.

The state of Texas sued Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on Monday night with the US Supreme Court challenging their unlawful election procedures.

Texas argued these four states violated the US Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions. But these states did not make the changes through the state legislatures as spelled out in the US Constitution.

We reported earlier today that President Trump joined Texas in suing the four states being sued by Texas.

Last night we reported 18 states have to date joined Texas in their case against the four states

Next we reported that 106 US House Republicans have signed a brief backing Texas in this case (the list should be over 200).

Now this afternoon, the Pennsylvania House joined the case.

“Gateway Pundit is often referred to here on freerepublic.com but their reporting is inaccurate.”

They’ve always been bullshit.

Remember the good old days when we would ‘pei ping’ each other to articles with ChiCom relevance?

Now it’s pointless since every article has ChiCom relevance.
And it turns out that half of all articles have been written by ChiComs.

Actually 20 have joined including Atlanta and PA. Why do you negative people think the most important job you have is throwing cold water on any good news?

See SCOTUS Update. Many have filed in support of plaintiff, and others have filed in support of defendants. Only 6 have filed to Intervene, not 18.

In addition to the original filing by the State of Texas, there are other filings, including:

A motion to intervene by President Donald Trump
An amici curiae (“friends of the court”) brief by Missouri, on behalf of itself and “Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia” in support of Texas's case
An amici curiae brief filed by Carter Phillips and other “Never Trump” Republican opponents of the president, supporting Pennsylvania and the defendant states
An amici curiae brief filed by Roy Moore and other “constitutional attorneys” in support of the Texas case.
An amicus curiae brief filed by Arizona, urging the Court to act quickly
Responses to the Texas filing by each of the defendant states
An amici curiae brief filed by the District of Columbia and “States and territories of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Guam, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington” in support of Pennsylvania and the defendant states
A motion by Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Utah to intervene as plaintiffs
Two amicus curiae motions by members of the Pennsylvania house and senate, respectively, urging the Court to take the Texas case
An amicus curiae motion by the Christian Family Coalition in support of the Texas case
An amici curiae brief by the speaker and majority leader of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in support of the Texas case
A motion by “state legislators and voters” represented by the Justice Foundation and the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, seeking to intervene and join the case as plaintiffs; their complaint was also filed
An amici curiae brief by 105 Republican members of the House of Representatives
An amici curiae brief by elected officials from four states in support of the Texas case
An amicus curiae brief by the City of Detroit in support of Pennsylvania and the defendants
An amicus curiae brief by the Justice and Freedom Fund in support of the Texas case
The sheer scale of filings in just three days — including from Democrats and groups on the left — for a case that the Supreme Court has not yet said it will hear may increase the chance that it will do so.

Yes there are a number of filings, especially today. The posted table at Scotus Update has the majority though 3 additional filings were added later in the evening. There are still only 6 states that filed for leave to intervene, not 18 or 20.

Technically, the case has not been accepted - only filed. So with a single sentence SCOTUS could simply say ... denied. IF (and yes, it is a big if), SCOTUS accepts, then and only then will an intervening party (including President Trump) find out if their motion will be accepted. For example, SCOTUS could accept accept Texas and deny L. Lin Wood (who also filed tonight to intervene).

My point still stands. Gateway Pundit is claiming 18 states have joined, but they should clarify that to mean 18 states have joined along with others "in support of" Texas, and not joined as a party to the complaint.

The main significance of this is that THE PENNSYLVANIA EXECUTIVE USURPED THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
