In refusing to hear Texas v. Pennsylvania, the U.S. Supreme Court abdicated its constitutional duty to resolve a real and substantial controversy among states that was properly brought as an original action in that Court. As a result, the Court has come under intense criticism for having evaded the most important inter-state constitutional case brought to it in many decades, if not ever.
However, even in its Order dismissing the case, the Supreme Court identified how another challenge could be brought successfully — by a different plaintiff. This paper explains that legal strategy. But first we focus on the errors made by the Supreme Court — in the hopes that they will not be made again.
Texas v. Pennsylvania
The Supreme Court declined to hear the challenge brought by the State of Texas against four states which had refused to abide by Article II, § 1, cl. 2 — the Presidential Electors Clause, which establishes the conditions and requirements governing the election of the President of the United States. In adopting that provision, the Framers vested in each State legislature the exclusive authority to determine the manner of appointing Presidential electors. The Framers’ plan was shown to be exceedingly wise, because we have now learned that allowing other state and private actors to write the election rules led to massive election fraud in the four defendant states. Individuals can be bought, paid for and corrupted so much easier than state legislatures.
In refusing to hear the case, the sole reason given was that Texas lacked “standing.” In doing so, all nine justices committed a wrong against: (i) Texas and the 17 states that supported its suit; (ii) the United States; (iii) the President; and (iv) the People.

How are you going to overcome the moral cowards who took a pass when they are still the same worthless slime you started with? One is reminded of the Deed Scot decision which led to Civil War the first time.
Use all means but SCOTUS is corrupted
Dred Scot

Merry Christmas 🎄

Lol, no doubt!
Bump for later
The inarguably worst decisions by the United States Supreme Court:
Marbury v Madison
Buck v Bell
Koramatsu v United States
Plessy v Ferguson
And now what?
American Citizens v Supreme Court?
It seems about right.
Forgot Dred Scott

This is exactly why I still believe martial law is the answer.
