Supreme Court shoots down Texas lawsuit, but it isn’t over yet
This decision has dramatic implications for the presidential election, but unless President Trump concedes, there are still plenty of options available.
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.— JD Rucker (@JDRucker) December 12, 2020
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.

Okay. Whatever.
*sigh*
Can you do us all a favor and give a very short summary of that case so we all know what that is? Thank you
Maybe Trump ought to fire and replace his legal team. They dont seem to know how to argue and win a court case. If I were Trump, I’d ask them for my money back.
Yeah... the fat lady is warming up. Standing? To me that means the Supreme want nothing to do with this case.
Can somebody please explain who in this country has standing? Or is that legal mambo-jumbo for “we are too chicken s&!t to make a decision.”?
Once again, people we fought for so hard to get on the Court let us down. The Communists ALWAYS stick together and we get left holding the bag. They made their decision. Now let them enforce it.
The Republic died today. The Constitution is meaningless.
THERE IS NO UNION OR UNITED STATES.
or maybe we all knew it was VERY unlikely for any court or judge to get involved.
Their absurd thinking is they are disenfranchising voters.
Ironically, they disenfranchised more than if they had taken action
Texas wasn’t his legal team.
Neither is Lin Wood or Sidney Powell.
Not defending anyone, just saying.
Congratulations you cowards on the Supreme Court of the United States. You probably just lit off a hot Civil War II. Hope you sleep well. Again, cowards.
Well, I guess we now know the SCOTUS is going to be nothing but a rubber stamp for the autocratic oligarchy we’re all about to be subjected to.
When there is no Constitution, no justice, no legal recourse, not even honest democratic process anymore, what’s left?
Well, according to Hannity tonight the problem is that Texas cannot appeal to the Supreme Court to make a decision for a different state, ie Pennsylvania.
Bump
Just us. Sometimes you start small.
I go along with the line that until Trump concedes it’s not over.
When do we FIGHT BACK ?
It’s not over, the war is just beginning.
This is a war between evil, non religious baby killers and good. Not a war of bullets. But of prayers, as a prayerful blessing to an evil person is like placing hot coals upon their heads.
