This is in line with all that I have read. I don’t see how SCOTUS could avoid taking this case if it was only Texas.

With all of the additional States joining in I believe it makes it impossible for SCOTUS to ignore this case.

It could not be more clear-cut that these swing states violated the Constitution, to the detriment of everyone who voted legally.

You can’t crown slo joe ceasar by violating the constitution toward your preferred result.

Your unconstitutionally constructed election invalidates the whole state.

You get nothing!

I expect foot-dragging until December 15th, at which time the SC will say the matter is moot.
I suspect more radical solutions are needed. I hope Trump is up to the task.

I have witnessed many rulings by our State Supreme Court where they have been asked to make decisions where there were conflicts between what our state Constitution laid out clearly and what the leftists on our court desired. Our State Supreme Court is made up of lawyers and ex-judges just as our Nation's Supreme Court is. A truly astounding observation in my personal experience in the last 40 years is that not once have they ruled in a way that contradicted the court's political makeup. Instead, they ALWAYS have used judicial gymnastics to twist our state constitution to fit whatever political agenda that they had. And it has sometimes been pretty awkward and ugly.

The US Supreme Court politically has been fairly evenly divided for the past few of decades which made it a bit unpredictable, but thanks to President Trump... it is now decisively conservative. Anyone who thinks that a conservative judicial body which has just been presented with the opportunity to rule in a way that will save the country and keep it from being dominated by the radical left from now until eternity... is crazy if they think the ruling will not come out in a way that is helpful to not just the country, but to the survival of the current political makeup of the court.

It is hilarious that Biden and Harris, the leftist media, and big tech have all been back tracking on their promises to pack the Supreme Court with leftists if they are handed this stolen election and get control of the Senate. I guess that they think that the Conservative justices haven't been watching over the past year.

The Supreme Court will hand down an opinion that will maintain the “integrity” of the court, but it is going to be a SLAP DOWN of epic proportions to the fraudsters who tried to steal this election and hoped to “fundamentally change America” by swinging a still largely conservative nation radically to the left. Thank God, President Trump, and Mitch McConnell for the recent confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett. Without her Justice Roberts would have sided with the Liberals and this country would have been plunged into chaos for decades. So sorry Puerto Rico and D.C. you are not going to be getting two Senators apiece any time soon.

Thanks for the post. It is great to have a summary of Texas lawsuit for us nonlawyers. The federalist’s view of the lawsuit is totally opposite of what ABC and CBS reporting of what most “legal” experts say. Most “legal” experts say the U.S. Supreme Court will throw out the case and not permit an oral hearing of it because Texas has no standing. I think the fact that so many other individuals (especially those who reside in those 4 states) will put pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to allow oral arguments to be presented.

Texas did its homework.

4. Texas’s Standing to Sue

It all hinges on this, IMHO. If SCOTUS determines Texas has standing, I don't see how they can lose. But a GOPe article I recently saw in National Review argues that they don't have standing and that even residents of the states in question don't have standing.

If SCOTUS wriggles out of this, I think it will be via declaration that Texas does not have standing.

To me, everything hinges on that specific determination.

[ADSUM]

My prediction is that the US Supreme Court will rule for the US Constitution and the state legislators will decide the appointment of presidential electors.

The questions will Democratic governors allow them to proceed. Can they stop the legislature?

This could result in Congress making the final decision.

Will they be intimated if chaos ensues?
