This is surely one of the most significant cases ever brought to the USSC. It goes to the core of our constitutional republic.
These four states through the executive and judicial branches have put their hand on the scale of free and fair elections that will impact the entire country.
If the USSC lets this stand, the republic could be at risk.
Incorrect. The Republic will be no more.
SCOTUS has exclusive original jurisdiction for state v state complaints. This means that the plaintiff *has* to bring it to SCOTUS because there is no possible alternative venue. So... if they do not agree that this is indeed a state v state complaint, and that there is no other possible venue, then they may accept it. Otherwise, it will get punted to a lower court to deal with it. This does not mean they think it is bogus, just that they are not the right venue.
‘These four states through the executive and judicial branches have put their hand on the scale of free and fair elections that will impact the entire country.’
to name just one other state (there are many more) that changed procedures to account for covid was North Carolina, who extended the counting period for mail in votes to Nov 12, whee previously it was capped on election day itself; how come Paxton didn’t include NC in the suit...?
