Having the Supreme Court decide who the president should be is the essence of Democracy.
Compare this issue to slavery. Some states wanted it, and some states were adamant against it.
Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), often referred to as the Dred Scott decision, was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court in which the Court held that the US Constitution was not meant to include American citizenship for black people, regardless of whether they were enslaved or free, and so the rights and privileges that the Constitution confers upon American citizens could not apply to them.
Four years later, the Civil War began.
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.
Something I’ve learned from Trump is to not quit; just keep going. If you hit an obstacle, don’t curl up and whimper; ask what you have to do next. That’s what he did over this latest setback. Whether or not you like his personality, he’s like an iron man who keeps going regardless of what is thrown in his way.
How will the Supremes legitimately entertain any lawsuit against the violation of the Compacts Clause?
I would add that the republic is not dead as long as there are people who understand it and believe in it. It may be in retreat; it may be attacked by many outside and inside forces, but it’s not dead.
It only takes a dedicated 5% minority to radically change a society. There are far more than 5% of the people who believe in Constitutional principals.
My own personal solution is to donate to the Barney Charter School Initiative. It’s a charter school project involving classical education overseen by Hillsdale College. I personally think that the head of the snake starts with the schools. The left does the same - it targets the schools.
Defeatism is not useful.
Several secession efforts were mounted to remove states in New England from the Union. The subject was not abhorrent in the thinking of leading scholars of the time.
In 2020 it appears that we have come to a possible flash point where irreconcilable differences between the States no longer has a legal path to resolution because the US Supreme Court is a bunch of Ivory Tower cowards who don't have the courage to lead and to settle the differences according to our Constitution that they so fervently declare their allegiance to.
Patrick Henry, the great orator from Virginia, warned against the centralization of power in the capital city and the corruption that would come from creating such a place. He said (paraphrasing) that Liberty was the language of America's youth, and that guarding that liberty was the sole purpose of our government and our courts. He also predicted quite correctly that the centralization of power would lead to avarice and corruption which in turn would destroy our precious liberties and potentially our Republic.
Well, Old Pat is probably gloating with an âÂÂI told you soâ smirk on his face as he rests at Red Hill.
So begins the deconstruction of a once mighty Republic. I hope to see it in it's splendor and glory one more time before I pass from this earth, but i fear that the greed of men and the thirst for power at any cost has turned good people into practitioners of evil.
May God save His people and may God Save the once glorious United States of America
Not an unreasonable decision, if Texas suffers no direct harm from the corrupt elections in The various states named. Hence no standing.
The arguments central to the case are however ironclad, obvious and blatantly unconstitutional. And already proven by public action taken by courts and executive branch in those states and not the legislature as require.
These are the arguments the trump team should have made. Many of the claims the trump team made are valid. Some are ridiculous. All of them would take time to prove. The burden of proof is on the trump team.
As the Texas v. Pennsylvania brief explains, it is perfectly clear that two different processes occurred on Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 (and following):In combination with equally unlikely results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia - the combination of which not being a transparent national election overall being 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% certain - implies that Benjamin Franklin’s famous warning about “A republic - if you can keep it” has proved prophetic. And that neither you nor I - nor for that matter the many thousands of PA-resident blacks who wanted to see the president reelected - had a meaningful vote for Pennsylvania’s presidential Electors.
- On election day a transparent election gave President Trump a commanding lead in PA. But (as we know with a confidence level of 99.9999999999999%),
- in the dark of night “men” who “loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19) instituted a different, non-transparent pseudo-election which cancelled out the transparent votes of actual people with fraudulent, mass-produced bidenballots.
Without dramatic remedial action by the legislature of Pennsylvania there seems to be no prospect of recovering the Republic in the future. As you know, under the US Constitution you do not need the signature of the governor on a bill directing the manner in which the commonwealth’s Electors are appointed. It therefore appears that you can direct that the nominee of the Democrat Party be excluded from the ballot in the commonwealth in 2024. Leaving open, if necessary, the possibility of a write-in.
In prior years such a drastically “partisan" proposal would seem absurd. And the need for such is a bitter pill. But in the present state of affairs it does not appear that the US can be a republic in the future without comparably drastic action of which only Republican-majority legislatures of competitive states are capable.
And this conclusion is valid even without reference the burden of the Kindle book Neither Free nor Fair: The 2020 U.S. Presidential Election by Joel Pollak. That book documents the astonishingly unified and powerful propaganda campaign executed against the ability of the persuadable voter to discern the truth about the candidates as it relates to their fitness for office. A propaganda campaign which made “Campaign Finance Reform” a bitter joke.
Now establishment journalism and Big Tech tells the public at large about Hunter Biden’s laptop!?!?!?
If Texas has no right to complain when another state corrupts the nation’s elections then no other state has a right to complain should Texas leave this nation.

Indeed.
We need to suck it up and man up for the fight.
Doomer vanities by FReeores help nothing.
This is more akin to antitrust laws where a company can sue another for illegal anticompetitive behavior.
True... But that has been true since the 1960's or 1970's...
Didn't take long... From 1906 to 1966 was all it took for Marxism to complete the Republic's final destruction...
What we are seeing now is the Nation's final gasp as the United States of America disappears and the Soviet States of America rises permanently in it's place...
//Obviously, none of their oaths to uphold the constitution meant anything. //
Too thrilled with themselves for the honor of serving on the Court. Not thrilled enough with the idea behind the Court.
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.
