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.

Translation please.

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?

Be funny if the AG of Georgia joins the suit.

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.

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?

Amicus curiae
Amicus Curiae

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.)
