Pennsylvania officials on Thursday filed a blistering brief at the Supreme Court rebuking the Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn President Donald Trump's defeat in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, casting the move as using a "cacophony of bogus claims" to support a "seditious abuse of the judicial process."

"Texas seeks to invalidate elections in four states for yielding results with which it disagrees. Its request for this Court to exercise its original jurisdiction and then anoint Texas's preferred candidate for President is legally indefensible and is an affront to principles of constitutional democracy," wrote Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

The lawsuit, the court filing said, rested on a "surreal alternate reality."

"Texas's effort to get this Court to pick the next President has no basis in law or fact. The Court should not abide this seditious abuse of the judicial process, and should send a clear and unmistakable signal that such abuse must never be replicated."

[diplomatic_immunity]

I saw nothing blistering in the Pennsylvania response. Quite the contary.

It was very tepid and implied “Yeah, we got caught..but so what?”

[libh8er]

Their argument is no different from “Trump is a threat to Democracy”.

My my my, they seem very emotional.
What’s the old saying? The facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you argue the facts. If the facts and the law and the facts against you...pound the table.
