The Pennsylvania response... is a NON-SERIOUS effort.
It is a clown show. They appear unaware of the facts and the law, not only in relation to specifics in the complaint they’re responding to... but even in how they relate to their own arguments in response.
They are badly confused on the courts own criteria for hearing cases under original jurisdiction... even conflating cases between states with cases between states and individuals in other states... apparently hoping the Justices will fail to notice that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia are not persons, but states, thus hoping they’ll chose to not take a case between a state and persons in another state ? And, all of it is that bad...
It is so bad that it is painful to read... and it makes it painfully clear that the defendants are (deliberately ?) ignorant of both the facts and the law... are not depending on an informed, much less a fully proper and skilled reading of the law, or their skills in argument as lawyers to succeed...
What are they expecting in this should enable a success ?
Whatever it is, it isn’t really present in this filing.
They phoned it in ? Too busy making other plans ?
Having read enough... my take on it...
Either Texas wins... or if this pile of garbage in a reply “succeeds” in preventing that... Texas probably (and, in that case, quite probably rightly) secedes...
I’ve mostly dismissed this sort of language, before now...

More popping up on the Server / CIA war with the military:
1. The story on Gina Haspel being killed in the firefight that supposedly took place in Germany still taking on a life of its own... now somewhere between “Gina is Dead” being heard on an album if you play it backwards, and the SNL running gag as “In further news, Generalisimo Francisco Franco is still dead”.

2. The MSM lagging a bit behind the timeline in reporting here while badly soft-selling the fact of it in a vapid effort, this from 3pm today:
Pentagon weighs cutting most of its support to CIA’s counter-terrorism missions

References this from yesterday as “first” to report it:

3. This SPECTACULAR report by The New American is from the 8th of December, a full day before the “first” report from defenseone... and it is VASTLY MORE IMPORTANT than the vapid reporting of MSM or the slick, glossy war porn purveyors... Watch the linked Youtube video... for actual context re National Security Action Memorandum 57... it links next to MacInerny’s presentation re the CIA Server War for context, but that’s followed by quite well reasoned analysis and actual HISTORY... Well worth the time spent watching this:
Battle Between the CIA and DoD?
