Fox news:

155, ORIG. TEXAS V. PENNSYLVANIA, ET AL. The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot. Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. See Arizona v. California, 589 U. S. ___ (Feb. 24, 2020) (Thomas, J., dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.

Texas is getting all those California folks with their California ideas.

We saw that in VT with the influx of New Yorkers and CT folk who thought VT was Ben and Jerry’s and Bob Newhart.

They have pretty much ruined the place.

But while they can give Uncle Touchy the win, they can’t give him influence or legitimacy. The 80MM+, maybe 100MM+ voters they’re disenfranchising aren’t going to take him seriously. The victory they’re handing him is meaningless, hollow.

I never considered Obama to be a legitimate president, either - but the media sure did. Politics is crooked around the globe; Biden and Harris will be treated as legitimate by foreign governments, and that is all they need. Nope, this is far from hollow.

The only open path to fix this is the old and bloody one.

They won’t arrest him. He hasn’t broken any laws and they have no case against him for anything. He’ll have Secret Service protection even after he leaves office and nobody will want to mess with those guys. All that stuff about tax violations in New York is all fabricated political attacks with no substance. His family has had top tax lawyers for decades and I’m sure their tax filings are completely within the law.

This is the WORST time for FReepers to be going for each other’s throats.

But I understand.

Everyone is VERY frustrated. And angry, rightfully so.

But we must HANG together or we may HANG APART.

I’ve wanted to use that line my Whole Life! :)

Tomorrow is another day.

The fight continues.

It just may end up being a nastier fight than anyone wanted.

Texas had no standing which is why cert was denied. Keep firing away until you find a question that will pique at least 4 justices.

It sure seemed like someone was giving the TX lawsuit enough equipment to get to the river bank, but not enough armament to cross the river.

How do you expect the GOP to use this to rid the Democrats?

THE VOTES DONT COUNT!!!

We all voted, Trump won.....now look.

Simple relying on old fashion voting doesn’t work.

The courts failed.

What does this leave us?

The Democrats will cheat every election now without fear of getting caught. Without fear of penalty.

If evil wins, I will have a very hard time believing that there is a just, and fair God that would forsake us, and allow this to happen to our country.

As the great Edmund Burke once said, for evil to succeed, it is only necessary for good men to do nothing. If it's any comfort, God WILL BE the final arbitrator.

Pretty much exactly what I thought would happen, including the statement by Alito, although the wording is interesting. Does he mean he thinks there is standing, or does he just mean they should grant leave for the complaint to be filed and that jurisdiction can be determined after that, as it is in normal lawsuits?

Alito and Thomas have pointed out several times in recent years that the Supreme Court’s practice of treating original proceedings as discretionary is unconstitutional, because the Anglo-American tradition is that courts must hear cases that fall within their original jurisdiction.

Sorry to tell you that our God is a cruel God...and that he has turned his back on us.

No. We kicked Him out of our schools. We kicked Him out of our culture. We kicked Him out of our communities. We kicked Him out of our institutions. No. We kicked Him out.

“ there is no other way for one state to redress such grievances against another...and 19 joined them...”

Only secession. That is the only other way.

But mostly, the electoral process is now a joke...a poor joke. Basically, if you can get the right positions and hire the staff...cheat until the cows come home. One side has to out-cheat the other now. And honestly, there’s now way to stop the Democrats if it’s a cheating contest. They are born to cheat, we’ll have to learn how.
