“In a three-sentence order, the court said Texas has no legal standing to sue another state on these grounds…”
Thus we acknowledge that we’ve landed at the bottom of the rabbit hole.
And the only thing here is a looking glass, through which we reluctantly slip, having no other choice. It leads us to a rigged chess game where all the pawns are kept busy battling each other while the bishops, rooks, knights and royals go about their respective business of collecting all the chits and building up their war chests.
The normal rules of the game don’t apply. In fact, cheating is not simply condoned, it’s rewarded: handsomely.
And you dare not question the rules…because SCIENCE!
Just accept it: it makes no sense.
“A vaccine was developed in record time, frontline workers busted their butts for everyone else during a pandemic, a sitting president made multiple historic middle east peace deals, but give it to the guy who spent most of it in his basement. Sure” – Nate Madden
Remember, nobody knows how it can be like that.

and…
So let’s not hear any talk about hari kari just yet.

Here is a suggestion, have the Republican National Committee file the same suit as Texas had filed. The Supreme Court could not use the 11th Amendment as an excuse to turn the suit down.
I would think the best order was —
Decide the GA case: have the Supreme Court agree that there was fraud.
Then hear the TX case: Yes, there was fraud, we’re going to be stuck with a demented cheater as president, and TX feel that it is being harmed by this outcome. Would the court agree?
But that’s not the order we chose.
That's the spirit of the law, equal protection across the nation against a fraudulent Federal election. State and local offices are not any other State's business, but the Federal offices are. If it affects every citizen, then their State has standing as their representative. That's what AGs are for.
The issue of fraud or irregularities were not in front of the court. Thus, SCOTUS was not able to rule on any of that. Even if they wanted to. (They don’t).
The only issues were the four rogue states’ violations of their own election laws. Texas’ standing comes out of 14 A (you might even make a colorable 5 A argument). By allowing the Secretaries of State and local election tyrants to invent their own rules, at any point in the process, the Court allows US elections to become lawless. In all 50 states, the rule of law, as properly written by the state constitutions and legislators would be rendered null. And this would happen with *no* input from the citizens.
In essence, SCOTUS has legalized vote theft.
The other issue is vote dilution. Your legal vote is wiped out by the illegal votes.
Perhaps I have been out of law school too long to understand how not only the individual states have standing but, every single lawful American voter as well.
