Here’s part of a good article, imo:

“,,This case presents an extremely important question of law: Did the Defendant States violate the Electors Clause (or in the alternative, the Fourteenth Amendment) by taking—or allowing—non-legislative action to change the election rules that would otherwise govern the appointment of presidential electors. Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution provides in pertinent part:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.

Since the nation stands at an important crossroads, the Constitution must be followed, even during inconvenient times that include a pandemic. This is especially true now because lawful elections are at the heart of our constitutional democracy. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to grab power, government officials in the Defendant States of Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania apparently usurped the authority given to them by the state legislatures. ....

....but Justice Thomas noted that while the Court has discretion to decline review in other kinds of cases, the Court does not have discretion to decline review in cases within the Court’s original jurisdiction that arise between two or more states. Why is this true? Justice Thomas answers this question by noting that the Constitution, in Article III states that “[i]n all Cases … in which a State shall be [a] Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.” This signifies that the Court has no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction, which is given, than to usurp that which is not given (See Cohens v. Virginia, 6 Wheat. 264, 404 (1821).”

15 minutes and counting . . .

So what happens if those states do not respond?
They get an extension?
What if they want an extension?
What if they run out the clock?
What happens when the clock runs out?
