After listening to Jay Sekulow’s radio program today, I can tell you that there’s not an easy path to overturning the election in favor of the President.
He said the Supreme Court had multiple options, one of which would be to dismiss the Texas case outright, request more briefings on the issues involved, send it back to the legislatures, which he believes is the most likely outcome.
And depending on what the individual state legislatures decide about their electors, they could retain their original election results or choose other electors.
Jay said that overturning the election is possible, but it’s an “uphill climb.” His words.
He also recommended prayer when someone called and asked what they could do. And that appeal is to the highest court of all.
Sekulow was bullish the previous day and the day before that...I think he was just trying to temper expectations today. It IS an uphill climb, however, a fantastic case has been made on our side and the answers from the defendant states were hot garbage. The PA one in particular read like they grabbed some gender studies major off Reddit to write it. The response from TX today ripped their arguments to shreds and it was a very convincing rebuttal.
We should have a majority that agrees with it. Gorsuch has touched on the idea of doing what’s legally right without taking into account other factors. Thomas and Alito are almost sure to agree with this argument. Kavanaugh is likely on board, but we have less data. I’m betting that Barrett is on our side as well. If that was the deciding majority, I predict Roberts joins the winning side no matter what it is.
The biggest problem is in the relief. We want them to throw out the electors, but they may say that the legislatures can appoint an alternate slate on their own without SCOTUS intervention. If they do that, will the worthless RINOS actually do that? I wouldn’t bet on it.
