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.
I believe the SC will hear the case after they review the responses of the four defendant states. Deadline for their responses is tomorrow, 12/10.
First, because this is state-to-state issue of original jurisdiction and it is important to the integrity of the elections which are detailed in the Constitution. This is a real constitutional issue, not a fraud case.
And second, remember the court now has a real 6-3 conservative, constitutional majority. Barrett replaces liberal Ginsberg and neutered Roberts siding with the liberals.
But one never knows what they will do. We wait and see.
