Challenging the election in courts is just for show. To my knowledge, it has never been done successfully before. For sure, never in my lifetime.

Sooooo.....

You claim you’ve been a lawyer for a half century, but somehow never managed to hear of Bush v. Gore 2000.

Uh huh. Sure pal.

I said a quarter of a century. Not a half a century.

And, Bush v Gore did NOT overturn the election. In Bush v. Gore, SCOTUS ordered Florida to STOP the count, and revert back to status quo ante, which had been a Bush victory.

Also, in Bush v Gore, SCOTUS did not exercise original jurisdiction, and did NOT take new evidence. It just ruled on an emergency appeal.

This frivolous lawsuit is asking for SCOTUS to exercise original (not appellate) jurisdiction. In doing so, it is turning the highest court of the land into a trial court, forcing it to go through thousands of pages of evidence - declarations and exhibits.

Shoot the messenger all you want. But when my predictions pan out, remember this next sentence:

EVERY SINGLE person, party, or entity that signed on in favor of Texas KNOWS the lawsuit is frivolous. Every SINGLE ONE is playing us. They are our enemies.

Now, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
