The first thing to notice about Texas’s desperation lawsuit, which seeks to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election, is what does not appear on the front page: the name of the state’s solicitor general, Kyle Hawkins.
The lawsuit is brought against four other states — Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin — that have certified Joe Biden as the winner of their electoral votes. Thus, Texas attorney general Ken Paxton invokes the original jurisdiction of the United States Supreme Court to hear disputes between states. Yet the brief is not signed by the lawyer who typically represents Texas before that nation’s highest court (as Solicitor General Hawkins did, for example, in the recent Obamacare case).

I don’t think it is frivolous at all.
More than one-third of the states is not frivolous.
I just sent Andrew Wilkow a tweet if he’s going to continue to have McCarthy on his show after this BS.
NR has evolved into an Never-Trump GOP-e rag.
Is National Review really still the gate keeper of conservative thought when no one reads it anymore? It should have shut down when William F Buckley passed away.
Andrew McCarthy, Never-Trumper Extraordinaire, calling the Texas Lawsuit now joined and backed by 18 States and counting, calling it “frivolous”, “desperate” ...
is there any reason anyone should read his tripe?
It’s not frivolous. You see, what this is, is Conservative, Inc. trying to save its ass. 4
What a frivolous article. And irrelevant publication.
Andy McCarthy looks like an old woman in a Monty Python skit
A globalist rag. WFB would smack them until they remained plsastered.

Et tu, Andrew ?
“I doubt the Court will say anything other than that leave to file Texas’s complaint is denied. In the unlikely event of elaboration, the justices may convey that if Texas has a problem with the way other states administer elections, it should address that through the political process, including through Texas’s large and influential delegation of elected officials in Congress. ”
Apparently, the author is blissfully unaware that the Court has already agreed to hear the case.
His opening statement: “There is no way the Supreme Court is going to entertain Texas’s lawsuit.” is akin to a child declaring that they will never, ever, EVER eat peas.
National Review = Neo-cons who hate Trump.
Everybody knows that. Another worthless rag.
The more adjectives a headline contains, the more lies in the underlying story.
