>>Texas is asking SCOTUS to allow state legislatures to do something they are already permitted to do?<<
Not asking the SCOTUS to allow, Texas will be forcing the other states to adhere to the constitution utilizing the power of the Supreme court, thereby bypassing any corrupt local/state election officials that are trying to push Biden across the finish line.
This is very encouraging. Hoping to hear other states either file similar cases with the SC or join Texas.
I'm only commenting on the reportage: Texas is asking the Supreme Court to order the states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors
Ordering something be done and ordering something be allowed to be done aren't the same thing. Now, I didn't read through all the legalese of the case so maybe the reporter got it wrong. If someone has found the precise language of the ask from the suit, please post.
