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.

Never had an interaction in which Mariner didn’t display himself as an ass. We may be completely on the same page issue for issue, and he’d still be an ass.

Hmmm... Best 2021 investment opportunities:
  1. Camp-building construction companies;
  2. Railroad freight lines;
  3. Boxcar-manufacturing companies;
  4. Companies that can manufacture very large ovens;
  5. Natural gas infrastructure; and,
  6. Pawn shops that buy gold from tooth fillings and jewelry...

There is always a price to be paid when you dance with the devil...
Almost no one listened... Now it is too late...
The sheeple will continue to remain in the fetal position...

The 1000-year clock has started...

Declaration of Independence: A Transcription!

In Congress, July 4, 1776:

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are insufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

nobody is more depressed, angry, and despondent over this election then me....

but I don't blame God....its all our fault....maybe not ours individually, but we've let so much slide by for decades now...its chickens come home to roost....

I still have some hope that Wood will win...I still have some hope that the Insurrection Act is invoked...

Yeah that would have been believable if he was losing from the get go and ALL OF THOSE STATES didn’t close at the same time.

I saw HUNDREDS of batches comer in during the days after everybody got tired at the same time and went home to bed.

Which is absurd in itself.

Trump didn’t win ONE batch after Tuesday.

So EVERY batch of votes from those states, whether 1,000 or 100 or 10,0000....NONE gave more votes to Trump.

Come on man...

I’m not a conspiracy theorist.

But in this case, it’s not a theory.

Anyone who can’t see that...

Do you really think electing a couple of RINOs in GA is going to create any type of gridlock? Any type of resistance the GOP can run on?

Please.

Even if they win (which they absolutely will not win now because the USSC just institutionalized any type of voter fraud the left can concoct), all you need are a few “bipartisan” RINOs to “reach across the aisle...in unity” to give Biden/Harris whatever communist BS they want.

There will be no more free and fair elections.

The Republic was taken out with assisted suicide on 11-Dec-2020.

One of the few cognitive posts among the hundreds of hair-on-fire, couch fainting, pearl clutching posts that had to be waded through. Matter of fact there are fresh threads up outlining what you alluded to. This Texas suit thing was another sideshow to the main events still in the works and coming up.

Do you think POTUS/VPOTUS will file a new suit? Trump was a co litigant I thought, in the TX case...is that different?

I just heard Rudi Guiliani on Newsmax saying they have suites cued up and ready to go in District Courts, but this was the prefered option to combine everything into one big case before SCOTUS. I also emailed a suggestion to someone on the Trump legal team. Something more will follow. Trump isn't finished yet. He will fight to end.

The Insurrection Act is always an option. There will be many peaceful protests on Monday in certain state capitals

I thought they ruled that the other filings are moot and threw them out also.

Generally, SCOTUS hears appeals from Circuit Courts of Appeal. And Circuit Courts of Appeal hear appears from District Courts.

To take a case right to SCOTUS, (and bypass District Courts and Circuit Courts) you have to invoke its original jurisdiction. But there are very, very few lawsuits where SCOTUS has original jurisdiction.

In disputes between states, SCOTUS has original jurisdiction.

"Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.

It sounds like Roberts didn't understand the filing. It's not about how a State conducts its election its about how a State violates its own laws regarding elections.

Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: ... I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, ...

Given that, it doesn't really matter that SCOTUS refused to hear the case since Alito and Thomas agree that they would grant no relief even if the case were heard. I was afraid that might be the court's decision if they had.

Absolutely! People are saying 2022, 2024. but if the Democrats are allowed to steal the 2020 election, the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America is gone. Both Biden and Harris have promised to come after your guns. And if the Democrats can steal the 2020 election, they can steal the 2022 and 2024 election.

The GOP is dead to me.

It is Patriots vs. the Globalists/Communists.

You’re on one side or the other.

If you’re on the other, better be careful. Payback’s a bitch.

State and local election have to be managed by the states and localities, and this is now a big problem because of the corruption and lawlessness in the democrat-controlled states and cities.

They've seeded our government at all levels. More then just a problem.

After decades of having "America Last" globalist in power who've made American citizenship all but pointless, flooded our country with tens of millions of illegals and foreign nationals, it's way more than just a problem.

My point being our government at all levels has been completed infiltrated by Communist and Communist sympathizers.
