I heard him say that. Hope he has catsup to eat his words.
Did someone really say that?
If I’m reading the entry at the link below correctly, it looks like the Response to Plaintiffs’ Motion to File Complaint is due by 12/10/20 at 3:00 p.m..

I may be reading too much into it, but since a due date for the Response has been set, wouldn’t that be an indicator that SCOTUS will ultimately hear the case?
So what does that mean?
Good point.
I hope you’re right.
HOW can ANY of them not vote the same????
Well, it certainly can't move forward without responses from the defendants. So this is a good sign.
THEY IGNORED THE PENNSYLVANIA CASE AND TOOK THE TEXAS ONE!!
NO...they ignored the PENNSYL case and TOOK TEXAS :) This is GOOD
Yes I think you are reading too much into it. Briefs were requested in the Kelly case too, dismissed today.
Would the framers accept a foreign power bribing state executives to conduct elections in conflict with the laws passed by the legislature?
I imagine SCOTUS will say no.
Why aren’t there most posts about this.
Who will argue this?
I think the question answers itself.
The problem remains that the GOP is full of squishes and deep staters. This is their easiest chance to be rid of Trump. They plan to see it through. Unfortunately even some who he appointed to the bench will not help him.
I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
“””I plan to read the pleadings tonight, but does anyone know if the “fractional” voting is touched on?”””
Short answer: NO
The long answer is that the Texas case as have the other cases focused on ‘process crimes’. Namely, the failure of these states to follow their own election rules and make up stuff on the fly. “process crimes’ are much easier to prove.
“”Where did you read the four defendant states have until the 9th to respond?”””
In the lawsuit.

1. The Beginning
A number of States are extremely PO’d within a few days of 11/3 and some number of them are talking amongst themselves. Texas eventually takes a lead for direct action. The earliest actions are deciding what action to take and to build a coalition of states. Confidentiality is key and only reliable states and persons are brought into the group. Notice that this filing to the Supreme Court seems to have caught most by surprise.
2. The Middle
The States laid low to allow the chaos to develop and expand. During the chaos, legal evidence was developed and corrupt players exposed. The majority of Americans are brought on board to believing in the fraud and wanting a fair fix to terminate it.
An outline of the Constitutional infringement by the frauds was identified early on and a draft was started for the filing to the Supreme Court. Specific fraudulent actions and lower court actions/inactions were collected and used to build out the State's filing to the Supreme Court
3. End Game
The constitutional outlines of the violations brought about by the fraud were not in themselves the strongest case the State's could allege. More was wanted.
Over the weeks of back and forth of private and campaign lawsuits, hard evidence was produced and deep state players flushed into the open. Some of the evidence referenced in the State's filing are weeks old and others are a few days old. The evidence presented by the States was curated to be those most effectively and simply used so as to make it both easy to explain and difficult if not impossible to refute. The filing is well written and cited to both existing laws and Supreme Court rulings and how specific actions in the fraud are both illegal and unconstitutional.
Timing on the State's filing was critical. To soon and the strongest case would not be possible and it was essential that the Supreme Court had both Original Jurisdiction and detail that that was so strong as to have the greatest chance of a successful outcome.
It cannot be over emphasized how successfully maintained was the confidentiality of the State's intent and the work product were and using time to their advantage.
Kudos to Texas's and AG Paxton’s leadership.
“”””I don’t know why people worry about Roberts. He is now a nonentity on the court.
We have a de facto Thomas court.””””
You are correct. And Thomas has very good memories of the ‘high tech’ lynching he was subjected to by Biden in 1991. As we all do.
