Thank you for posting the entire thing. I went to the site to grab it for my friends. All the ads are so distracting.
They can. Want to bet on that happening? No chance. They will kick it back to the legislatures..... who have zero backbone
I hope so too, but SCOTUS, or at least John Roberts, ruled that the 1st Amendment doesn't apply, at least in California, during Covid-19. They/he ruled that California can restrict the number of people who can go to church at one time.
My guess is they will duck it, just like they did the ineligibility of Obama.
Twitter rumors are borderline malicious at this point.

Not much control of what is put on twitter thus people
need to take their statements with caution until verified.
Maybe and maybe not. With what I see breaking out on the National Security news they better. There are very serious issues going on here which will go way beyond the courts. The only thing that will matter is the power of the iron fist and don’t think it won’t happen because it very well can from what I’ve been seeing from places you can’t.
“...zero backbone ....”
Now if the shoe was on the other foot & these were Rat controlled legislators they’d seize that opportunity in a heartbeat. Rats have party discipline, its all about the revolution and\power. Also they don’t care what you think of them if they. Hate them all you want call them names if they have power they don’t care. Besides they will later make you regret you said anything. Now Republicans who have been in office a long time want to be liked, they’ll quiver in the corner if you call them names. They are satisfied with just enough power to line their pockets.
I think our best chance to prevent a Biden presidency is trump declared martial law based on report from DNI, Radcliffe. Just my humble opinion.
Bingo and that is not off the table. Heating up big time.
Exactamente.
Seven more state have joined with Texas already. I would expect more today.
Yes, they will say that the States, unconstitutionally, changed the rules in the election. The only way to change rules for elections is through the legislature. That did not happen. The change, delay the times, not verifying signatures, accepting questionable ballots, etc., was done by those who had no authority to do so.
Yes I agree. The Texas case is basically The same premise except it appears to be more succinctly written and with 9 other states enjoined it gives the court a better excuse to hear it. States only have one place to go for relief so the SCOTUS would have a hard time turning them away.
Also in my opinion it would be easier for the court to find 4-5 states guilty of the same conduct and grant a remedy than just Penn. It would carry more weight.
So there is no other body to throw it back to. It's theirs and theirs alone.
You could be right but the constitutional process has to play out first and it ends at the Supremes. I believe Trump said during his recent speech words to the effect that if the Supreme Court does not do its job He will and he will not be so kind and gentle about it.
Is it now? What's pending about it? The plaintiff was looking for an emergency writ of injunction (or alternatively a stay of lower proceedings). That was denied yesterday. They asked for the court to grant certiorari on the questions presented. And then what? To get the emergency writ that was just denied? The matter is dead for all practical purposes.

Nah, if the Court is good at anything, it’s good at deflecting. IF they can find a right to two dudes getting married, they can find a reason to throw the Texas case out, e.g., standing. I hope I’m wrong.
Missouri has joined.
If they refuse, or they appoint electors that don't result in either Biden or Trump getting 270 electoral votes on 12/14, then the whole mess in thrown into the House where they will appoint the electors and pick the new president. Vice president is selected by the Senate.
The House favors Trump in numbers. There are currently 27 Republican state delegations in the House and 22 democRAT state delegations.
I worry about the RINOs. They don't like Trump anymore than the democRATS do. But if they publicly threw their weight behind Biden by selecting Biden electors, I don't see their political careers lasting long in their next reelection effort.
There is a good chance the court will hear the Texas case and rule in its favor. But the outcome for Trump is still up in the air.
