SCOTUS ^ | 12/9/2020

[tarpit]

1STATEMENT OF INTEREST OF AMICI“In the context of a Presidential election,”state actions “implicate a uniquely important national interest,” because“the impact of the votes cast in each State is affected by the votes cast for the various candidates in other States.” Anderson v.Celebrezze, 460 U.S. 780, 794–95 (1983). “For the President and the Vice President of the United States are the only elected officials who represent all the voters in the Nation.” Id.Amicicuriaeare the States of Missouri,Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,Montana,Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah,and West Virginia.1Amicihaveseveralimportant interests in this case. First, the States have a strong interest in safeguarding the separation of powers among state actors in the regulation of Presidential elections. The Electors Clause of Article II, § 1 carefully separatespower among state actors, and itassignsa specific functionto the “Legislature thereof” in each State. U.S.CONST. art. II, § 1, cl. 4.Our system of federalism relies on separation of powers to preserve liberty at every level of government, and the separation of powers in the ElectorsClause is no exception. The States have a strong interest in preserving the proper roles of state legislatures in the administration of federal elections, and thussafeguarding the individual liberty of their citizens.

[enumerated]

Yeah as long as there is an odd number of stars it will work

[Savage Beast]

"If they can’t do that, then the matter is ultimately resolved in the House via 12th Amendment."

The US House of Representatives? How would it be resolved favourably there?

[Hypo2]

It will be a great Christmas surprise for their viewers...LOL

[enumerated]

Right, but epic crimes were committed.

There have to be consequences besides just declaring President Trump the rightful president. The Democrats and other coconspirators have to pay.

[RinaseaofDs]

Under the 12th, if the state legislatures can’t resolve their slate and send them to DC and neither candidate has 270, then the election is conducted in the House.

Each DELEGATION of Reps gets a SINGLE vote. 1 vote per state. If the majority of the reps in the state is R, then the vote goes to DJT. If vice versa, the vote goes to the senile pedophile. Interestingly, Vermont has one rep, who is I. The state has no candidate in the election, and cannot cast it for either candidate.

Currently there are 26 R majority delegations, and 23 D majority delegations.

DJT retains the WH.

[Freee-dame]

If all the R delegations vote R. I hope there is not a McCain-like traitor amongst them.

[RinaseaofDs]

There’s no ‘faithless elector’ hazard here. Nobody caucuses and decides. It’s a nose count, essentially, with an entry into the Congressional Record like any other vote.

[Savage Beast]

Thanks!

Glad we've got such smart people here on FR. (That's why I've been posting here for so long.)

[CottonBall]

Thanks for the explanation. Here’s hoping the SC does the right thing, as well as the states’ legislatures. Anyone know if they can be trusted? I know they are GOP, but that neans nothing...

[Jane Long]

Someone made a great point, last night....

Why would the four....possibly five SC Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Barret-Coney....and sometimes Roberts (like vowels...and, sometimes y...lol) want to completely hand over the country....knowing that if Bidet were to ‘win’, the first thing to happen would be to pack the SC.

NONE of their opinions, if conservative, would ever matter, again.

Praying they will do the right thing, for all of the right reasons.

[DiogenesLamp]

Here's another one. :)

[Presbyterian Reporter]

We need a similar map showing the States where in the US House of Representatives the states where the Republicans have the most Representatives and the states where the Democrats have the most Representatives.

I believe we are headed towards the US House of Representatives voting on Jan 6, 2021 as to who will be our next President.

[CottonBall]

LOL, sometimes Roberts

Yes, it’s their careers too that will be affected, their votes would never matter again. Who wants to work for decades at a job like that?

[Freee-dame]

Good to know. Thanks.

[BTerclinger]

BUMP!

[CA Conservative]

A number of state legislators from PA, including the Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives in PA filed an amicus brief in the case on the side of Texas, opposing their own state...
