It will be interesting to see if the court grants leave to appeal.

This is the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction if it agrees that a state is a party to a legal claim against it. No leave to appeal is needed, although SCOTUS typically frequently declines to excercise its orginal jurisdiction in less important cases like prisoners' habeas corpus applications. As I read Article III regarding SCOTUS's original jurisdiction, even if Texas and the other states lack standing, but Trump clearly does, his claims can be haard by SCOTUS through it original jurisdiction.

There was a reason that Trump himself did not file suits in the lower courts where hostile judges could prejudice his claims. There was a plan here to do this from the start. Normally, when hearing cases like this, SCOTUS will appoint a retired judge or justice to act as a special master to hear testimony. Depositions and exhibits from lower courts can be referenced as well.

I am curious as to why Texas didn’t bring this suit sooner, like before the election. And what the court will have to say about it.
