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.
The Texas case wasn't our best shot, contrary to what so many have said. As I noted in the show last night, it had fatal flaws, and I didn't even mention standing.
But the truth is coming out. Better cases are coming up. I'm still at 90% sure President Trump wins, Lord willing.

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.
Antifa will get it’s head smashed if they mess.
The Warren Court certainly didn’t rule that segregation should be a matter for state legislatures in the deep south.
Yup. The Electoral College will meet on Monday. Congress will count the votes on January 6th. And the president will be inaugurated on January 20th. Unfortunately it's looking like that will be Biden.
Then what did you mean by this:
“When a candidate does NOT concede, a legal process has to be followed, the 12th Amendment. It’s worth being familiar with..”
It is over.
Breathtaking institutionalized corruption. Mountains of debt. Debasement of the currency. Endless war. Two-tier justice system.
The government can do whatever it wants. You need their permission to have a party.
It’s over.
From Ayn Rand
``Then you will see the rise of the men of the double standard - the men who live by force, yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money - the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue. In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statutes are written to protect you against them. But when a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law — men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims — then money becomes its creators’ avenger. Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men, once they’ve passed a law to disarm them. But their loot becomes the magnet for other looters, who get it from them as they got it. Then the race goes, not to the ablest at production, but to those most ruthless at brutality. When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter.
``Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice — you may know that your society is doomed.
Trump owes Biden no courtesy whatsoever.
bttt
Take me to the window one more time. I want to say goodbye...
The option that Trump can use but has wanted to avoid, is to show the evidence that hostile foreign powers/governments interfered in the election. The reason he has avoided showing this evidence is that it would require declaring a national emergency, as proof of interference would have far-reaching consequences, both politically ,economically, and likely militarily, as this was basically an Act of War.
LOL! Why would you think that these runoffs would be any more fair than the general election? Are you paying attention at all?
Why would anyone concede to an opponent who has openly cheated and stolen their contest?
At this point the Democrats are saying, “So what? What are you going to do about it?”
It’s an outrage and a national crisis.
“The case before the Wisconsin Supreme Court tomorrow has real legs.”
We need a case with legs and this one could be it.
AMEN!
Ditto. Have been seeing the same thing. Lots of avenues and items being worked. That was just a high exposure item. And still has legs on that too.
Thanks for being a voice of reason and Hope.
The problem is that his cases all get thrown out in lower courts though.
They are bei g brought before courts in corrupt states that zllowed the cheating in the first place. Gonna be hard finding ours that don’t suffer tds
OK, that makes sense.
Thanks.
Oops, finding courts that don’t suffer tds
The second civil war starts today and the resistance is formally born.
Strap in brothers a sisters, we’re in for stormy seas.
