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.
It’s coming very soon.
Did you see how fast the country rallied around that Texas court case? How about when one county, city, state decides ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. That is coming very soon.
People are pissed.
Add Johnny Cochran to your list
Yeah, it’s over. Our courts are as corrupt as the rest of our system.
“When there is no Constitution, no justice, no legal recourse, not even honest democratic process anymore, what’s left?”
Time for the patriots to take up arms and restore our republic.
bump
According to the black-robed fascists, nobody has standing to contest voter fraud, before the election, during the election or after the election.
The fascist courts are hereby designated as irrelevant. I do believe that we will find fairer judgments with vigilance committees, which can pop up from time to time, wherever or whenever needed.
Welcome to our new wild west. Sharpen your six-shooter skills as that is what will be the law-giver from this day forward.
That was an ignorant statement. This wasn't Trump's legal team, was Texas. Besides, doesn't matter what their argument is, these judges refuse to hear it.
It’s time to contact your state reps and ask them what they (and the state) now plan to do to keep the tsunami of crap from drowning Texas. If you don’t get an answer, start pushing for secession. DO IT NOW!
On standing. Whatever that means.
I fear the next revolution in America will resemble France’s.
Yes. The state reps MUST feel the pressure to the point where they ACT in the interest of our rule of law and U.S. Constitution. REMIND them of their OATHS of OFFICE.
“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.”
Well Trump picked them. So there’s that. Of course Trump could represent himself. I would pay money to see that show.
Meanwhile it’s Friday evening and the electoral college does it thing on Monday. Life goes on.
Remember when no one “had standing” to challenge Bammy?
An omen of things to come
A SCOTUS decision was never the Constitutional option anyway. SCOTUS wasn’t created by the Constitution. The constitutional solution is for one representative and one senator to object to the electors and force a vote in the house by state delegation
Yep, Nah - its over.
Is that your hope, or really your fear?
Headline should read, “SCOTUS blesses voter fraud.”
SCOTUS just cut its own throat.
