Knew it would all come down to “standing”. Damn. That’s that.
Well the court likes to see the state legislatures take care of their own territory. Those RINO squishes should be picking their own electors. Nobody is stopping them except themselves.
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.
