The Supreme Court has denied a Texas effort Friday that would have essentially nullified the presidential elections in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin.
“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,” the Supreme Court’s order reads. “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.”

COWARDS!
Texas Succeed NOW !
All that’s left is appeals from election fraud states.
That would be dumb
“’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.’”
How can SCOTUS say that? They didn’t allow Texas to present its case!
I smell fear of threats in the air.... Kemp’s daughter’s boy friend car explosion was a shot across a lot of bows. I feel like WE THE PEOPLE are on our own.
SCOTUS had 1 job. They failed!
“The court did not provide a complete vote breakdown, so its unclear how Trump’s nominees, Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett may have voted.”
What a crock of shit? What about 80 million voters who had their votes cancelled by massive voter fraud? Simply unbelievable that these clowns in robes hid under their desks. History will not be kind to the seven who declined to hear this case.
Just yesterday, I heard that SCOTUS had docketed the case. What happened ?
“SCOTUS had 1 job. They failed!”
AGREE
I don’t think it says what we think it says. The legalese is not plain. Mind you, this may seem like the end of the road, but it is not.
Which is the complete opposite of the previous ruling by Massachusetts versus EPA by the SCOTUS. They are going to have to reexamine one or the other.
Busy making cookies....effing backstabbers.
“Just yesterday, I heard that SCOTUS had docketed the case. What happened ?”
Who knows???? Lady justice’s blind fold has been slipping for a long time.. but now she is not only looking but is also look the other way.
The justices who supported this travesty need to be outed. At least one of the Trump appointees stabbed him in the back and cut America’s throat. Who played the role of Judas? 😡
I’m sure Fox is smiling ear to ear reporting this.
So, what to do?
The Supreme Court most likely wants to tell Texas that this is a political question that should be decided by the legislatures of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin because the Constitution states that each state Legislature shall select the electors.
So, The SCOTUS will pass the buck back to the politicians in the four states.
This means that the Legislature of each state should investigate the election and make the decision.
Well, And this is the ingenuity of the suit - it banks on the SCOTUS being as cowardly as the lower courts ( and they WILL BE. They don’t want this election to be on their shoulders).
The remedy is black-letter, constitutional, and convenient.
If the state legislatures fail, then it goes to the House of Representatives.
n other words, in the end, to use a basketball analogy, the final foul shots will have to be fired by the LEGISLATURE, not the courts.
The legislatures of each of the 4 problematic states are MAJORITY REPUBLICAN! It remains to be seen if after seeing the evidence of fraud presented, they will be convinced to choose electors who will favor Trump ( Too many Republicans hate Trump’s guts anyway ).
The most complicated result is if the electors are not unified and divided in their view and the Electoral College results in a 269-269 tie!
he genius of the framers of the Constitution is that they still have an orderly process put in place. If worse comes to worst it results in an electoral tie, the US House of Representatives - Congress gets to vote for the President.
Under the Constitution’s 12th Amendment, the House would select the next president and the Senate would pick the vice president if no candidate has a majority of Electoral College votes.
It all depends on how the legislators of each of the 4 problem states will choose electors.
If the state legislature looks at the evidences and his convinced of the massive scale of fraud, and decide to choose electors who will vote for Trump, it is still possible.
Though the House has a Democratic majority, such an outcome would almost certainly benefit Trump. Here’s why: In a concession to small states concerned their voices would be marginalized if the House was called upon to choose the president, the founders of thus country gave only one vote to each state.
House delegations from each state meet to decide how to cast their single vote.
That voting procedure gives equal representation to California – population 40 million – and Wyoming, population 600,000.
This arrangement favors Republicans. The GOP has dominated the House delegations of 26 states since 2018 – exactly the number required to reach a majority under the rules of House presidential selection.
HIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN AMERICAN HISTORY...
The founders proved prescient: The elections of 1800 and 1824 did not produce winners in the Electoral College and were decided by the House. Thomas Jefferson was chosen in 1800 and John Quincy Adams in 1824.
All the above discussion of course, assumes the the Electors chosen by the 4 problem states will NOT select Biden. We don’t know that. All we know is that the Legislature of these 4 states are MAJORITY REPUBLICAN.
