Bilbo Bagpipes assures us the election was kosher, should satisfy at least 4 of 9.
Yes, because it’s citizens are being disenfranchised by the actions of the other states.
Just sent a message to Nebraska AG. Nothing to lose by asking.
It is an Equal Protection argument. Texas played by the constitutional rules and the defendant states did not. No state should be forced to accept a presidential election outcome arrived at in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Every American voter and every American state complying with the constitutional rules is disenfranchised by the rogue states.
If that is correct, then the issue may simply be whether the legislature is empowered to have a rigged election decide the issue. Are they obligated to set aside an imperfect election? When has there ever been a perfect election?
I am having trouble seeing the Supreme Court dictating anything other than pointing out that the legislature has the power to reject the election results or accept the results as they see fit. Would that be enough to help us? I am not so sure.
Awesome posts!
Your crossbow does not hit far from the mark. There is definitely a separation of power issue. Marbury v Madison avoided the problem by declaring a law unconstitutional. Assuming that SCOTUS decides that the U.S. Constitution or Federal Law was violate and therefor votes cannot be counted based on the violation. Since we do not know exactly which votes are illegal, the only choice is to decide that none of the votes can be counted. So far so good. What if the State decides to certify? SCOTUS could say the certification is a nullity. What if Congress decides to certify the election for each of the defendant swing states.
The effect would be that Biden is not a legitimate president and you can bet that Trump will not leave the whitehouse under these circumstances. Furthermore, if Democrats are in control they are going to pack the court. I’m pretty sure the Justices do not want that.
Texas have any standing as to the internal affairs of these 4 other states?
I think so. It is a national election. The only court that can hear a case by a State against three other states in SCOTUS. Texas represents all it’s voters who chose Trump and if a constitutional violation occurred that diluted their votes, meaning their choice for President was wrongfully taken. .....
