LMAO!
The Pennsylvania document is about what I would expect.
One side says “Yes we do” and the other says “No you don’t”
A lot of people had that view in 2016, including many here on FR. Many have changed their views, including Jenna Ellis, Trump’s election attorney, who was once a never-Trumper but has seen the light. You’ll need to find something more recent to demonstrate that he is still a never-Trumper.
Yost’s brief is in support of the suit, but disagrees that the SCOTUS can appoint the electors as Texas requests. He argues, and I agree, that is is the state legislatures’ job.
Taking away the votes of an entire nation is preferable?
I agree with your assessment.
The headline does not match what the Ohio AG actually said.

Dave Yost @Yost4Ohio
“I asked SCOTUS to rule on the Electors Clause question
presented in Texas’s lawsuit. It is unconstitutional for
judges and bureaucrats to change the rules set by state
legislatures for selecting electors.”

This is exactly what the Texas lawsuit is about.
State judges and state election boards changed
the rules established by the state legislatures.
But that does not stop FReepers from jumping off the ledge.
I’m embarrassed by my state, politically. I remember the high hopes I had for Kasich back in the Bush years. I couldn’t wait for him to run for president so I could vote for him. Then he got butthurt when Trump made fun of the way he eats, TDS set in, it rapidly advanced to stage iv to the point where he actually spoke at the DNC for Biden. Literally Kasich destroyed himself politically and tarnished his own character in his failed attempts to spite Trump.
Great, just great. Well, I guess, what else should we have expected?"
Do you have a list of states that have filed opposing Amici?
Im no lawer but what I read in PA reply is
texas has no standing, COVID forced changes, PA followed rules, texas is not harmed, SCOUS has no jurisdiction over this dispute, and////drum roll.....it’s too late to do anything about it anyway
“But that does not stop FReepers from jumping off the ledge.”
You noticed that, too, eh? LOL
OMG, this thread!
One question that I have though comes from this part of the article: “Yost’s reasoning is consistent with a legal brief he filed last month asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that ordered elections officials there to continue accepting absentee ballots that arrived within three days following Election Day.”
Isn’t Texas (and other states) challenging the very improper things that took place in Pennsylvania and elsewhere because of absentee ballots arriving within three days after Election Day and other such things that deviated from the rules set up by the state leglislatures?
For the first time in my life, I’m ashamed to be a lifelong Ohioan. Yost has just put himself into the same treasonous category as John Kasich.
Gee, Ohio recruiting homeless guys to work in the legal division
How noble
“Isn’t Texas (and other states) challenging the very improper things that took place in Pennsylvania and elsewhere because of absentee ballots arriving within three days after Election Day and other such things that deviated from the rules set up by the state leglislatures?”
Yes. Yost simply disagrees that SCOTUS has the authority to directly appoint new electors and that that power is reserved to the state legislatures by the Constitution. He is correct. SCOTUS’ proper action is to invalidate the elections in those states and remand the decision for whether to appoint and which slate to appoint to the state legislatures.
Yost is on our side. He’s just being a stickler for the rules and I cannot fault him for that no matter how much I might like to have the SCOTUS appoint Trump electors themselves.
That’s it???
That reads like they just kept or captured the text from a CNN broadcast, and submitted it to the Supreme Court...
Full of ‘baseless’ and ‘Without evidence’ And a lot of name-calling.
SCOTUS has previously ruled that individual citizens do not have a constitutional right to vote for electors. Only state legislators do.
The list of PRIMARY targets just keeps getting larger & larger...
What is wrong with Ohioans?
