I think the lawsuit asks the court to give the state legislators the ‘go-ahead’ (i.e. ruling that there are so much ‘irregularities’ that the election’s validity is in doubt, so the state legislators should do what they are constitutionally authorized to do.) to appoint R electors for Trump
“I think the lawsuit asks the court to give the state legislators the ‘go-ahead’”
I still say that it’s a mistake to even imply that the Judicial Branch has any say in whether or not the Legislative Branch can exercise its Constitutional authority.
This gets to the entire purpose of the separation of powers. One of the great failings of Trump’s first term was the tendency to defer to improper rulings from rogue federal judges. Ridiculous rulings that should have just been ignored created years of delays as appeals were filed.
The Judicial Branch has no more power or authority than the Executive or Legislative Branch. We might just as well ask the legislature to pass a bill giving the Supreme Court permission to make a ruling.
