Fox news:

155, ORIG. TEXAS V. PENNSYLVANIA, ET AL. The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot. Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. See Arizona v. California, 589 U. S. ___ (Feb. 24, 2020) (Thomas, J., dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.

Btw, the Chinese are already working on a genetically engineered Caucasian killing bio weapon... They’ve all but admitted it.

Doesn’t matter. They intend on following MMT, and as such, do not need to ever collect a penny in taxes again. They actually think they can print unlimited amounts of money to pay for all the social welfare programs. SMDH.

Then you’re off by more than 100 years.

The Boss Hogg days?

The Nixon/Kennedy election?

I’m pretty sure we still had a constitution.

This was seen coming for YEARS!!

I thought we would have people ready to respond anywhere in any state within a half hour.

NO I don’t know exactly how they should have prepared, but they should have prepared.

Whatever comes, comes.

We just need to be prepared for it.

Voting is the easy part.

Getting active in the process is time consuming.

This wasn’t even close... 7-2

possibilities i’m seeing:

1. SCOTUS has more sellouts on it than we thought. (we knew Roberts was dirty)

2. We are already in a state of War with China, and SCOTUS knows this. (ANTIFA/BLM = internal chinese operatives)

3. SCOTUS does not want to set a precedent where states challenge other states outcomes and succeed. (this WAS an unprecedented move!)

4. SCOTUS is overwhelmed by Election cases already, and this was their way of whittling down the workload. (They havn’t thrown out all the cases... just the state vs state case)

5. SCOTUS is under severe death threats if they rule against Biden in any way (related to possibility #2)

Let us NOT jump to conclusions, like the one we jumped to when SCOTUS asked the 4 states to respond. (which they never should have bothered doing!)


Weren’t those 4 states supposed to respond by yesterday or next Thursday?

It's very hard to believe that the beautiful country I was born in, in 1947, has been taken over by evil forces so easily, and without a fight. Have I been the one who has been deluded all these years to believe that this Republic that was given to us through the blood, sweat and tears of our forefathers, could survive anything? Whatever faith I have is teetering on the brink. Whatever happens in the days ahead will determine which road I take. If evil wins, I will have a very hard time believing that there is a just, and fair God that would forsake us, and allow this to happen to our country.

Now that you bring it up, I guess that’s true. This case and it’s expectation has sucked all the oxygen in the room for the past week. Still, I fail to understand the use of ‘standing’ or lack there of in this case and in general. It seems like a cop out excuse to dismiss. But I’d welcome anyone explaining the legal concept and how any state doesn’t have an interest in the other states fairness in a federal election.

So what are any remaining legal cases pending?

Prayer works. It’s arrogant of people to believe God should think and operate like humans.

He said “My ways are not your ways, your thoughts not My thoughts”

It’s hard not to be frustrated and upset. But it appears that this SCOTUS ruling is about jurisdiction not the merits of the case.

We all need to let the story get a day or two of air.

The Republican political machine wants those Senate seats so they better act quickly since the EC votes in the 50 states on Monday. That isn’t going to happen.

TX is inviting every liberal large company it can here. The coast is already getting overrun from people from up north. Migration always destroys. It takes time, but the south is almost dead. All will fall due to migration.

It’s not a Federal election.
