Texas has filed its reply with #SCOTUS. Now we wait to see what the Justices will do with this multi-state election challenge.

Regardless of outcome, this action by Texas more or less organizes things for potential secession. I have pondered how such could be organized and executed and it becomes clear that the 9th and 10th Amendments are the keys to a peaceful separation.

Maybe you need to get in contact with some of the Texas groups. I think Texas has been preparing for this for awhile now. I think we moved all our gold reserves back here to Texas for a reason.

Insightful and sadly correct.

These paragons of “blind justice” all have their soft spots. Gorsuch was endorsed for appointment to the court by a number of tribes.

They will punt.

The Supreme Chickens do not want to get involved.

Absent ACB, you are right.

With her on the bench, maybe not.

Time will show.

“You make good points... I’d say they are equally important, though, because if [the Democrats are] allowed to carry this win, they will ensure that election fraud is baked into every election in every state every year until conservatism ... is obliterated.”

Didn’t that already happen in 1960 and we’re seeing the end of the process now?

If this fraud stands then when Biden said “America is dead!” was he not absolutely correct?

Then you are going all in on what the progressives have been shrieking about for 4 years —

You are advocating for fascism.

“No matter the out come we have half the people unwilling to accept the out come.”

The left is a screaming, fraudulent, fake store front for a minority pretending to be far more people than it is. If we had no fraudulent elections “baked in” to the system in so many places, people would see that they don’t have to go along with the leftist bullies.

People need to grow a pair and stand up to the enemies of this country, in particular at this time, the domestic ones. The left uses terror tactics in their quest for absolute power, the same tactics they will use without any restraint whatsoever once they have acquired that power.

Thomas Paine wrote that we could never have a a “half-foreigner” as President thanks to the natural born citizen clause, unlike the German kings of England.

Obama is a “half-foreigner”

My 2 cents:

The Bush v Gore decision was 7-2 to stop the counting of ballots on Equal Protection grounds, then 5-4 against the remedy to send the case back to Florida to complete the recount using a uniform statewide standard before the scheduled December 18 meeting of Florida’s electors. The courts supermajority 7-2 Constitutional ruling made it bipartisan.

I think some number justices are trying to achieve the same outcome in todays TEXAS case. Texas clearly wins on the facts and law, but the idea of sending it back to the states to recount only CONSTITUTIONAL votes is a hard pill for the liberal “justices” to swallow. And by “constitutional votes” I mean votes/ballots that comply with both the US and State constitutions.

Kagan and Sotomayor are complete ideologues - not justices. I think it’s possible to cobble together the 7 votes in favor of Texas. Then Breyer and Roberts peel off on the remedy.

Huh? Seems like if we could see the enemy we could fight them.

I don’t know what options Trump has.

He can’t concede. Even if he leaves, he maintains that he is the true president.

that would be the best thing possible. It would take an enormous amount of courage for the liberals to do this, but it would go along way to bring the country back together.

I am suggesting what the Supremes may be thinking.

Either way, if truth wins the day, or if Xi JinBiden Joe wins, the next few years will have us pining for the ‘good old days’, even for the days of Hussein Oboogaloo! This can all be placed at the feet of the Leftist media and the crony capitalist ‘big tech’.

Hopefully, truth will win out and the ‘big techs’ will be broken up and their heads will be charged with sedition.

His showed up real fast and has made a mess that will outlive him.

So simple to fix but congress will never do it. Too many things like that. Kick the can down the road until they bury someone.

Neither is Harris.

Her parents were NOT USA citizens when she was born in Oakland. They did NOT get their citizenship until 5-6 years later.
