I’ve been thinking more about this standing thing at SCOTUS ...

I saw a good argument along the lines of you don’t want NY to be able to sue TX to prevent energy production ...

BUT the recent TX case pertained to the Electors Clause and that is what was relevant here.

Yes, that’s right.

States can (and have) sued one another before. And the only place they can really sue one another is at SCOTUS, where the court has original jurisdiction. Original jurisdiction means that SCOTUS acts as a trial court and there are no appeals (because there isn’t a higher court to appeal to).

Plus, Libs have used the commerce clause argument to attack energy, guns, etc... It’s not like they’re having some secret handshake ring presented to them out of the constitutional cracker jack box...

Libs are gonna do what Libs do, Hate on America...
