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.
And Texas v. Pennsylvania was a slam dunk.
Hubby won’t let me do it, he’s Ret 20 yr USN. BI..HING ABOUT ME STILL PUTTING UP TRUMP FLAGS/SIGNS. EVEN THOUGH BOTH VOTED TRUMP. HE’S 80, JUST WANTS PEACE IN HIS LAST FEW YRS. HE WON’T GET PEACE, JUST A EARLY DEATH.
Lock and Load.

LOL!
Maybe God is directing us to form our own Godly union, and let the God-less stew in their own juice.
We are slow to anger. But once ticked off - well don’t discount us.
Read you’re WWII history. Once the Sleeping Giant is awake - look out.
I’ll be 80 next June. I will not surrender. By not taking the case on no standing, we have no rights. We are not citizens; we are slaves.

Well, to be fair, Mark Levin has always been a realist about the Supreme Court and it’s periodic bouts of cowardice.
Yet they heard Gore/Bush. Makes no sense.
Actually I start to have my doubts about their skills when we never ever win a case. Can all these judges be corrupt? I know they can be but are there no exceptions?
I think that all judges have been threatened. None of them seem to want to stick their necks out.
That’s even more terrifying that judges could be intimidated into sanctioning a coup. Not much left if that’s the case.
None of them like exploding cars for themselves or loved ones.
