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.

The Georgia AG is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
The only way he will side with the good guys is after enhanced interrogation at Gitmo.
From north to south, fresh-water ports in the south—good to go.
The Supreme Court gets to decide if they want to be the last Supreme Court of the “United” States.
I wonder if there’s a way for the GA Trump voters to file their own lawsuit against the SOS, Governor, or such because their votes were negated. I guess a class action suit, and I assume they’re always civil suits, but I can’t figure out what the remedy would be. They definitely were harmed by the RAT cheating; no doubt about that.
FROM THE AMICI-—
I like how the government fraudsters in these states are called “nonlegislative actors”.
Since mainstream media has been calling the Texas lawsuit ‘audacious’, we should henceforth call the government fraudsters “audacious nonlegislative actors”
. By
identifying the “Legislature thereof” in each State as
the regulator of elections for federal officers, the
Electors Clause of Article II, § 1 prohibits the very
arrogation of power over Presidential elections by
non-legislative officials that the Defendant States
perpetrated in this case. By violating the
Constitution’s separation of powers, these nonlegislative actors undermined the liberty of all
Americans, including the voters in amici States.
Bfl
Makes me want to move to Helotes , Texas. i have a standing invite.
This Amici Curiaein is an Amici brief filed by states supporting the idea that the court should grant Texas the motion for leave to file. They are basically saying this is an important case.
We have to remember there is no guarantee they will hear this case at all. SCOTUS has exclusive original jurisdiction in State vs. State complaints, but that does not mean they will accept it. They could simply, with one sentence, deny Texas leave to file.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of filing “friends of the court” vs plaintiffs?
the orange states filed friend of the court along with TX and the gray are standing with PA only?
"I object, to myself!"
Can’t wait to hear the MSM news at 5:30. How are they going to ignore this?
As President said - this is the big one!
And still the FBI and DOJ are totally silent. Weird.
SCOTUS has original jurisdiction pursuant to the U.S. Constitution.
In other words, the matter has not reached SCOTUS on appeal. SCOTUS is the actual trial court. Rather unusual.
The Gray states are the fraud states
Someone on our side is using their noggin.
oh...d’oh! I wasn’t paying attn as I was thinking there are ‘other’ states that are tied into the PA case (as friends of the courts), right? Wasn’t that floating around yesterday?
Literally, "friend of the court" briefs. As I understand it the states are filing their own opinions on the case without being a plaintiff or defendant in the case. Courts do not have to use amicus briefs, although they could if they wanted to. It is a way for interested parties to express a opinion on a case, without being a part of it.
The lawyers on FR can explain it better than I can (calling FR's resident legal eagles.)
got it, thank you
Dr Jerome Corsi filed his own suit with the USSC
is Sekulow saying anything about the likelihood that the SC takes the TX case?
