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.
Read and cry later. Trump probably has a plan.
That is a very disgusting reality isn’t it.
Blatant, obvious fraud, cheating with nothing to stop it. That is exactly what a 3rd world shit hole does.
War is coming, there is no way we can abide to live with thieves and liars that would let loose the murderers and jail the faithful.
This law is for physical rebellions or disruptions, like riots. A court wouldn’t allow its use to fight non-violent election fraud.
At the end of the day the only question is whether the military would listen to the courts or the president, and I think they’d listen to the courts.
Games Over this time team and Q is not going to suddenly manifest into a functioning entity so stop with that nonsense. Wipe off the dust, pick up your ruck and keep marching for the cause you believe in. Make Change, Create “THE AMEERICAN” party. Eff this pity party sh*t. Solider up and figure out how to fix this together.
And that can be appealed to higher courts.
Centurion, I believe you are exactly right!
Unfortunately, I'm also pretty sure that your suggested action will be extremely difficult!
God help us!
‘’ Texas, and the states that joined them, don’t send any electors. no votes in the electoral college from these states means nobody gets 270.”
I think that’s a good idea. If they’ve tossed it back to the states, then it’s up to the states to assert their rights.
>>Lock and load America.<<
Better hope you stocked up early. Fixin to be an even heavier shortage.
I agree with your post—the Kleptocracy is doing its thing...
As bad as the Democrats are, the Big Tech firms are even _more_ dangerous long term.
Well, shit.
So, there’s really no rules now. No rule that says you have to do much of anything — pay taxes, pay anything, no allegiance.
There is no country.
45 days is December 18
When the Constitution fails and the contract is broken the Declaration of Independence is our guidance.
Thrre is no rule of law, so the free for all begins. Welcome to the land of chaos.
The Supreme Court is an appellate court and these days has almost complete discretion as to what appeals it will hear.
However, Article III of the Constitution gives the Court original jurisdiction to hear lawsuits by one State against another State. The Supreme Court becomes the trial court and obviously there is no appeal from its decisions.
In the last century those have mostly been water rights cases where one State sues another claiming the other State is taking too much water and is depriving the other State of its property. Colorado has been sued by some downstream States.
The Supreme Court in those cases does not actually conduct a trial. The trial is usually delegated to an appointed Special Master who conducts pretrial proceedings and a trial if necessary. The Supremes then base their decision on that record.
I don't know how Texas proposed the Supremes should have proceeded if they had accepted this case.
The Alito/Thomas dissent was as to a technical procedural issue. They contend the Court does not have discretion to decline to accept a case filed as an original jurisdiction case. As a practical matter that would mean the case is filed and docketed, but the Defendant States would then file Motions to Dismiss which would be briefed and then decided by the Court. It wouldn't have made a difference in this case since at least seven Justices believed that Texas did not have standing and would have voted to dismiss the case.
Trump does not need Twitter and it would be great if he exits.
President Trump has been politically Assassinated. He has died politically for his country.
what a beautiful and powerful thought in our time of despair
thank you
