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.

Interesting point.

That said, I hope they enjoy sharing the bench with another 11 justices by this time next year. I believe the Dem goal is 20 justices.

That’s for sure, the Constitution will become meaningless at noon Jan. 20.

That might be the quickest way and the least painful one for our side!

Primaries don't have to be open. If the Republican Party is willing to pay the expenses then they can hold their own primaries like the smaller parties do.

If the Republicans depend on the state to run their primaries, then the state has the right to decide how it goes. But if the Republicans are willing to pony up the costs, then they can run closed primaries.

But why would RINOs want closed primaries? All it would mean is that the more conservatives candidates would have a better chance of winning. The RINOs love open primaries because if a Republican ever does get one of the top two spots, then it is most likely to be a RINO.

I like your post. A humorous way to express hope.

It’s not over until it’s over.

Those three jackasses he put on the court screwed him. Now it’s too bad Kavanaugh didn’t get the thumbs down. He’s no better than the communists.

I could be wrong but I think they mean other filings that are part of the Texas filing not other cases.

Then, we no longer have a Constitution nor a Republic or a country!

Ah, the usual “Texas sucks” gang always shows up. Tell us about the conservative states that you live in.

Just a thought... maybe SCOTUS thinks this is the best way out in order to avoid any violence from he left since the right rarely does anything about it.

I am pointing out reality.

I have said this many times over the last few weeks.

Conservatives preach logic, reason, and law.
Liberals practice emotion, power, and violence.

Guess which one is more effective?

Why would you expect a mother to take a stand when she knows what will happen to her kids if she does? Or a father whose adoptive children are perhaps not legal as could be. Or the one who has lived and worked in DC for decades?

Was it cowardly? Yes. Most people are cowards. Most people on FR are cowards. Hell, at times I am. I would prefer to live a quiet life.

But to expect 9 people to take on the Swamp is mad. It isn’t going to happen. The SCOTUS judges did not get to where they are without knowing how the game is played.

And people keep expecting some sort of Deus Ex Machina to appear and do the work. Here is what you, and everyone here needs to internalize.

There is no one coming. You must self rescue. No one is going to help.

Be free, but don’t expect anyone to do ANYTHING for you. Live morally, but don’t expect others will do so. Be honorable, but know that the reason Honor was held up as something to aspire to is because it is so rare.

But first you have to acknowledge reality. And that begins with realizing institutions will do the easy thing to minimize their discomfort before doing anything to help. The Catholic church hid horrible abuses for decades, because facing the fact they had a problem with devil worshiping buggery was embarrassing. An institution dedicated to God and morals used that ego to bugger children.

The Boy Scouts knew they had an assault problem. They chose to hide it in order to protect their standing. Now they are going to die.

And don’t get me started on the crap in schools. That makes both the Catholic church and the boy scouts look like small fish.

Now those two institutions had a lot more reason to be honorable, to do the right thing. And they chose the easy way out. Covered it up. Blamed the victim. Accused the people trying to protect their loved ones as evil.

Yet somehow, the kings in black dresses who have been selected by political appointment and vote by the “swamp” are supposed to be computers that rule according to the law.
They are not. They took the Ticket in order to get where they are. They have betrayed us with so many small things, why would they be faithful on a big thing?

No one is coming. It is up to us. Do what you can and put not your faith in Princes.

/////
Amen

If we are alive in 2024 EVERYONE will be begging for him to be back. Unless they can make 100 million fraud votes then Trump wins. It’s left to the people. I can’t believe this.

There will be no 2024 anything. There will be no “real” elections again. Unless we act.
