“may need to consent of the Gov, who is a D “
I don’t think the governors have anything to do with this.
Montana has joined.
But it only looks like an Amicus brief — not as if the states are actually participating in the suit as co-Plaintiffs with Texas.

I’m no lawyer but an Amicus Brief seems to me to be the appropriate way states can put into writing their support for the Texas lawsuit.
To the MSM it is just a “long shot” or a “last gasp effort “ to overthrow the will of the people with zero evidence. That is their story and they are sticking to it.
I think it is a big deal. Adding 17 states in support of Texas has to impress the Supremes even if it it goes unnoticed by the NYT.
I would not count on Chris Carr to cross Kemp and Raffy.
Wow, that was relatively quick. Excellent...
The more the harder it is for the SCOTUS to thumb it’s nose.

You would never know it from the local media...not a peep. The marxist media is ALL-COVID, all the time. As DFW would say "SPIT!"

Sekulow explained it well today - the amici brief gives weight to the Texas lawsuit.
I’m aware that Georgia is one of the defendant states. Kemp (Gov)and Raffensperger (SoS) are the two RINOs defending the integrity of their election but I haven’t heard of the AG, whoever that is, coming out with a position and it would be so choice for the AG to file a Amicus in support of Paxton’s lawsuit.
“You would never know it from the local media...not a peep.”
You’re probably right. I try to avoid local media at any cost, although DH has it on often, mostly for weather. What I DO overhear is — you’re right — Covid. Cases. Patients. Tests. Have heard ZERO about deaths, however.
Any minute now, California...
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha...
Not happening, but if Texas succeeds it will send a clear
message across California’s bow.
https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/amicus+curiae
Amicus Curiae
Literally, friend of the court. A person with strong interest in or views on the subject matter of an action, but not a party to the action, may petition the court for permission to file a brief, ostensibly on behalf of a party but actually to suggest a rationale consistent with its own views. Such amicus curiae briefs are commonly filed in appeals concerning matters of a broad public interest; e.g., civil rights cases. They may be filed by private persons or the government. In appeals to the U.S. courts of appeals, an amicus brief may be filed only if accompanied by written consent of all parties, or by leave of court granted on motion or at the request of the court, except that consent or leave shall not be required when the brief is presented by the United States or an officer or agency thereof.
An amicus curiae educates the court on points of law that are in doubt, gathers or organizes information, or raises awareness about some aspect of the case that the court might otherwise miss. The person is usually, but not necessarily, an attorney, and is usually not paid for her or his expertise. An amicus curiae must not be a party to the case, nor an attorney in the case, but must have some knowledge or perspective that makes her or his views valuable to the court.
what’s the difference, do you know?
MCSA- “Mid-Continental States of America”?
Ports, LOCs, Gas, Oil, Minerals, Breadbasket of the world, Lumber, Tennessee, Missouri and Mississippi Basins....
here is the link to the amici brief
The amici has some strong words such as this-—
Second, amici States have a strong interest in
ensuring that the votes of their own citizens are not
diluted by the unconstitutional administration of
elections in other States. When non-legislative actors
in other States encroach on the authority of the
“Legislature thereof” in that State to administer a
Presidential election, they threaten the liberty, not
just of their own citizens, but of every citizen of the
United States who casts a lawful ballot in that
election—including the citizens of amici States.
FROM THE AMICI-—
And within each State, it
explicitly allocates that authority to a single branch of
state government: to the “Legislature thereof.” U.S.
CONST. art. II, § 1, cl. 4.
It is no accident that the Constitution allocates
such authority to state Legislatures, rather than
executive officers such as Secretaries of State, or
judicial officers such as state Supreme Courts. The
Constitutional Convention’s delegates frequently
recognized that the Legislature is the branch most
responsive to the People and most democratically
accountable.
Looks like the nice start of a secession block.
If the US decides to nullify its own Constitution with a massively fraudulent election, then secession is a totally reasonable next step.
