According to 7 of the 9 SCOTUS judges, any number of states can brazenly violate the US constitution in order to achieve what political aims they favor – and no other state(s) can have leave to argue the issue before the premier federal court. Of course Texas has standing! If any state of a republic violates the laws (US constitution) that apply to all, any other state has standing to at least have a hearing – if not eventual justice.
Let’s say a neighbor does something obnoxious that not only violates local laws but impacts me – e.g., burning auto tires in his back yard – enveloping my house in smoke. What? Local “law enforcement” does nothing because he is politically connected? So, I can’t even go to ANY court for remedy?
What is the purpose of that court if not to hear disputes between states? If a state violates the US constitution where is that wrong redressed if not in SCOTUS?
Three presumably conservative judges; Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh apparently agreed with others that whatever happens in a state is only that state’s business, regardless of how it affects others. Apparently, they are no better at integrity than Roberts – with his re-writing of Obama care as a tax bill and then not returning it to the House in accordance with the constitution. Obviously, none of their oaths to uphold the constitution meant anything.
We are no longer a republic. We are now a single political entity with all orders issued by DC. And, we are expected/told to shut up.
Follow the Sanctuaries for illegal aliens model. Anything liberals mandate, reject it as a city or state. No need to secede, but make it illegal to cooperate with liberals in power. For example, Second Amendment Sanctuaries already exist.

>> The three blind mice, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh, were recommended to Trump by the swamp, just like many of his appointments. The prediction here is they will all be Roberts clones. <<
Nahhhhhhh, can't be. I was informed over and over again on here that the mere fact a judge is described as "originalist", it magically means they will be awesome SCOTUS judge and a "Scalia-like" appointment. Those who questioned this "fact" were told that we're just bitter nasty NeverTrumpers who want to derail the appointment of a great constitutional conservative judge just to "get back" at Trump and stop from another MAGA victory.
4D Chess! God Bless PDJT for keeping his campaign pledge to give us Scalia-like originalists on SCOTUS! Promises made, promises KEPT!! I can't get enough of the #winning!!! Go Gorsuch! Go Kavanaugh!! Go Barrett!!!
Man, it worked out so well to blindly accept and rubber stamp anyone Trump nominates to a lifetime appointment on the highest court on the land.
