Update (1515ET): Just twelve hours after it was filed, the US Supreme Court has officially put Texas’s lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on the docket, meaning the case will be heard.

“Legal challenges” to the Legislature’s decision... on what grounds ?

On the grounds that there is a slate of electors selected by the voters and certified by the state in accordance with the laws in place on election day, and there is a second slate of electors appointed by the legislature after the election results were known. Two slates of electors, I guarantee the courts will have to decide which is the valid one.

They can take it to court or change the law..but they cant just make it up as they go along

Unless I misunderstand how a legislature works, they can indeed "make it up as they go along."

Far too many laws have I seen that are nothing more than "make it up as they go along" bullsh*t.

They can’t do what you want..nor should you want them to

Follow the law.

Or

Go to court.
Or

Pass a law.

How compromised is this Governor? No doubt his handlers are making him say these things.

Anything a legislature passes is a law.

If they pass a law to select electors, the previous law is repealed.

So they’re tripling down, or maybe it’s quadrupling by now. All the China stuff coming down and they’re now in the back room in the basement piling boxes in front of the door.

As many as you like. Passing a law selecting electors is repealing a previous law that did it differently.

Would LOVE to see him and hundreds of others get doors kicked in at 3AM and be awarded a nice set of bracelets followed by a ride to interrogation.

Sometimes I think you have a reading comprehension problem

Where did I say that they couldn’t pass a law. That is Exactly what I have said. Follow the law or pass a law.

They can’t just willy nilly decide to do an act contrary to current law and make it the de facto law as you tried to claim.

I pray you are right... I have to believe that PDJT has known for some time these lawsuits from Texas and Louisiana were in the works. Sadly, it appears the GOP legislatures, institutions etc. of GA, MI, PA and WI are not up to the challenge of sending electoral slates described in the ECA as in “controversy or contest” to the Congress.
