Supreme Court shoots down Texas lawsuit, but it isn’t over yet: Unless President Trump concedes, there are still plenty of options available.
NOQ Report ^ | 12/11/2020 | CQ Livingston

Posted on 12/11/2020 5:12:26 PM PST by SeekAndFind

The Supreme Court moved today to dismiss a case brought forth by the state of Texas to delay selection of electors in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia. This is a blow to the Trump campaign’s hopes of correcting the election results that were fabricated by widespread voter fraud.

According to the Supreme Court, they denied the request over lack of standing. As The Right Scoop noted:


The Supreme Court has DENIED Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit, which was signed onto by multiple states and supported by over 100 member of congress. There was a dissent from Alito and Thomas, but it seems to have been based on matters of jurisdiction and not the merits of the lawsuit.

Notably, the three justices appointed by Trump did NOT dissent from rejecting the case.


While this is a huge “downer” for many Trump supporters, the fight is far from over. As JD noted in the last episode of NOQ Report, the best scenario is that this case bought other lawsuits more time to get in front of the Supreme Court without having to worry about the December 14 deadline for selecting electors. Now, they have to rush, which they’ve been doing already, but that doesn’t mean the fat lady has sung.


The case before the Wisconsin Supreme Court tomorrow has real legs. Lin Wood has his case docketed. Sidney Powell and the Trump campaign all have cases working their way up the ladder. Until January 20th comes or President Trump concedes, the battle continues.

According to WND:


The order said Texas did not have legal standing to bring the claim.

"Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections," the court said in the unsigned order.

The court did not provide a vote count, but CNN reported that there no dissents, including among the three justices nominated by President Trump: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Barrett.

Two of the court's conservatives, Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas, said they would have allowed Texas to sue but would not have blocked the four states from finalizing their election results.


This is all true. Texas did not demonstrate standing, particularly because their premise was based on how other states operated their elections. If they could have demonstrated direct voter fraud to change the results of the election itself, they have had a better chance. Thankfully, there are plenty of other lawsuits coming up that do demonstrate what is needed in order to correct the results of the election.

Time is the challenge. Can these other lawsuits get in front of the right people in time? We will see.

This is a blow to the confidence of many Trump supporters, but the fight is far from complete. There are still multiple angles and several weeks before January 20. Don't let naysayer convince you President Trump isn't going to win.

‘This case shown us many states are willing to hold their vote’

unless states totalling 270 EV’s withhold their votes (which will not happen), it matters not at all...

I don’t think these can be done in 2 days ( We have a weekend, so 2 days are gone ). December 14 is the date when the electors have to be chosen no?

This is a good article. I’m seeing a lot of people who think this case was the be-all and end-all. The case the Supreme Court ruled on today involved the question of whether one state can sue over the manner in which another state conducts its elections.

If fraud or some other malarkey occurred during the election, it can certainly still be prosecuted.

When a candidate does NOT concede, a legal process has to be followed, the 12th Amendment. It’s worth being familiar with....

Are you?

All we know is that the Legislature of these 4 states are MAJORITY REPUBLICAN.

The Supreme Court, tenured for life, refused to take up this case. Career politicians in the GOP are not going to do the right thing unless it's easy for them, and this would not be easy.

The proper suit is by people, and legislatures, inside these states that allowed their legislature’s to be robbed of their job.

The second civil war starts today and the resistance is formally born. Strap in brothers a sisters, we’re in for stormy seas.

> I hope he doesn’t concede. I also hope he doesn’t attend the inauguration . . . or even talk to Biden at all. Seeing who does attend will tell us which politicians we can never trust again. (Most of them, I guess.)

Yep, if it comes down to it, he should just vacate the WH on the evening of the 19th, and hold a rally in FL on the 20th.

So what are the other options since it seems like virtually every politician in this country has been bought out by China or $oro$?

Satan is having his day, for now. Jesus is coming soon and all the lying, cheating, and stealing by the democrats will be accounted for. We may have to live through hard times and be hated and persecuted but Jesus told us that like him we would be hated and not accepted. Get ready for it and be strong and faithful to our lord.

“What if Trump refuses to concede *EVER* ?”

There is no moral basis for Trump to concede, ever. There is massive, massive evidence of voter fraud, media manipulation as well as government manipulation to fix the outcome of the election.

If he concedes all of this evidence becomes moot. It’s worthless. This massive fraud is new grounds, if he does not concede, there may be new grounds to continue the fight long after January 20th.

Additionally, if he concedes his base is lost in more ways than one.

Once the electoral college votes on Monday, there is no chance in hell of the SCOTUS ever daring to affect that result at all
