Imagine the AG’s of GA, MI, WI, AND PA explaining to Amy Cony Barrett why their dirty deeds are constitutionally justified required by Covid-19.

I wouldn’t want to be in ANY of their shoes.

This is going to get real , very, very fast.

I predict that we now have a female Justice Antonin Scalia.

Thank Divine Providence for THAT!

I’ll always believe Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered so hussein could replace a Constitutionalist with a leftwing communist.

From the pillow on his face to everything afterwards rushed including no autopsy on a sitting SCOTUS jurist - just too many unanswered questions.

Not mentioned in the complaint is the Guarantee Clause, also known as, the Republican Form of Government Clause, Article IV, Section 4:

Nor should it be. That clause is to restrict the interference of the federal government in domestic and internal affairs of the State.

It may not be amiss further to observe, that every pretext for intermeddling with the domestic concerns of any state, under colour of protecting it against domestic violence is taken away, by that part of the provision which renders an application from the legislative, or executive authority of the state endangered, necessary to be made to the federal government, before it's interference can be at all proper.
George Tucker, Blackstone's Commentaries (Annotated), 1803

This was repeated verbatim by >Joseph Story in § 1819 of his Commentaries on the Constitution in 1833.

////////////

Trying to 'enforce' a Republican form of government it totally contradictory to the clause.

I just pray it won’t be dismissed for lack of standing like all the other cases in the lower courts. Is the difference here because it is a state and not an individual or group of electors?

So is this where we bring all our evidence.

The "evidence" is in the public square. There are two things going on here.

First is Art II Sec I states in part:

Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors
Meaning that the late changes in the way ballots were allowed did not get approved by the state's respective Legislatures. So mail-in ballots and other changes such a signature verification ect. would not be allowed.

Second is Bush v Gore decided that equal treatment under the 14th Amendment violated the equal protection clause.

Seven justices agreed that there was an Equal Protection Clause violation in using differing standards of determining a valid vote in different counties, causing an "unequal evaluation of ballots in various respects". The per curiam opinion (representing the views of Justices Kennedy, O'Connor, Rehnquist, Scalia, and Thomas) specifically cited that:
  • Palm Beach County changed standards for counting dimpled chads several times during the counting process;
  • Broward County used less restrictive standards than Palm Beach County;
  • Miami-Dade County’s recount of rejected ballots did not include all precincts;
  • The Florida Supreme Court did not specify who would recount the ballots.
In all the states listed in the Texas complaint were there different treatment of ballots across different counties, be it signature verification, ID, application for a ballot opposed to simply receiving one...ect.

Now there are other states adjoining Texas, like Florida yesterday.

Bottom line When we look at the number of ballots effected by a ruling in favor of TX then Trump wins all the states listed in the complaint.

Why do they have to respond before the court accepts or rejects taking the case?
The case either is legitimate or not,looks like the Supremes are Supreme aholes and are just looking for excuses from the States that violated the Constitution.
I’m no lawyer but it looks clear enough they violated the Constitution.

“They will blame changes made for the election was because of the pandemic and risk to public health. That’s about all they got and it won’t fly.”
Agree, but they will also use a Separation of Powers argument to try to limit the remedy.

A state is assumed to have standing, as long as the issue is proven to be constitutional.

You cab see the pleadings at this link. They are historical, every American should read them:

Does it take 5 votes to give permission to texas to file its case?

I’ll always believe Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered>>>>>>

I also believe this.

The local Texas coroner’s conclusions were highly suspect.A full autopsy with bio chemical analysis for bio-toxins should have been ordered.I think he could have been poisoned by a nerve toxin , likely from China, such as puffer fish poison concentrate.

The “tells” were not only the autopsy was blocked but the body was almost immediately embalmed.

Clearly, whatever was done to Scalia was being quickly covered up...and all roads point to hussein with a touch of soros.

When one files a lawsuit (complaint) the other side must file an answer indicating they wholly disagree with the complaint or agree with parts (and which parts) and disagree with others. This usually helps courts narrow in on issues of contention.

If SCOTUS dismisses this on lack of standing, then the entire Federal judiciary is unconstitutional by definition.

But I am sure they are frantically looking for a way to weasel out of this without damaging their gravitas for more important things like giving illegal aliens more rights than actual citizens...
