This is a rather interesting move
Texas Sues Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin at Supreme Court over Election Rules
The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.
Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were “voting irregularitiesâ€Â in these states as a result of the above.
Texas is asking the Supreme Court to order the states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors. The lawsuit says:
Certain officials in the Defendant States presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting. The Defendant States flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted. Whether well intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect—they made the 2020 election less secure in the Defendant States. Those changes are inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.
…
This case presents a question of law: Did the Defendant States violate the Electors Clause by taking non-legislative actions to change the election rules that would govern the appointment of presidential electors? These non-legislative changes to the Defendant States’ election laws facilitated the casting and counting of ballots in violation of state law, which, in turn, violated the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution. By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.
Ultimately, this will not succeed even if the suit wins, because the fix is in. There are so many irregularities with the elections, so many cheats, and the group that is supposed to be the watchdog of government, the news media, couldn’t care less, and are protecting the Democrats. If the situation was reversed, and it was quite obvious there was cheating all around for Trump, they would be investigating non-stop.
Pennsylvania’s mail in ballot changes were unconstitutional. There is no question on that. It’s black and white. It doesn’t matter if there is a COVID pandemic, we are either a nation of Law or a nation of Men. The standards for the mail-in ballots was significantly lowered. Signatures were ignored. Etc and so on, you’ve heard this all before. Unfortunately, the fix is in, and has been for quite some time. Why did we see all these changes in the swing states that Biden needed to beat Trump in, and all the irregularities? And those who are in on it are saying “what are you going to do about? Go on home, boy, you bother me. Get over it.”
Teach typed: this will not succeed even if the suit wins, because the fix is in
Bullshit. There is no fix, unless you consider trump getting outvoted as being the fix.
Whom do you feel is controlling the state and federal courts so that they refuse to accept all the “overwhelming evidence” Ghuoliani, Wood, Ellis and Powell keep supplying?
Sounds like connie-snowflake whining to us.
You fraudulent election shenanigans won’t fly with the SC. ONLY the legislature of the state have the power to change election laws. Not leftist AG’s, leftist mayors, leftist officials and not leftist state courts.
You keep insisting you didn’t cheat then why don’t you want a recount and an investigation to make sure it was honest? What are you commies hiding? I(As if we don’t know).
We see where Swalwell had Red Chinese spy’s working and doing campaign bundling for him. Also several other Congressmen. All fukin Democommies. Why are those Dems so enamored with Chicoms? They once again were projecting Trump with Russia-Russia-Russia while deflecting their own treasonous associations. Liars, traitors, cheaters, frauds and haters. That’s all the Democommies have become.

Kye,
Trump lost all 3 counts in Georgia.
There is no credible evidence that there was cheating, after nearly 50 cases.
Trump is fight now trying to STEALTHEVOTE just as Maduro, Chavez, Hitler would do. It’s how tyrants work.
If the new activist, reactionary court (5-4) wants to overturn the election with no evidence, they do so at their own peril.
Trump lost to local leftist operatives not a real recount. You and your ilk are liars. You’ve been lying to us since 2016 and now you expect us to believe your treachery without confirmation? Fuk you.
“Trump is fight now trying to STEALTHEVOTE just as Maduro, Chavez, Hitler would do. It’s how tyrants work.” That’s not how tyrants work you historically ignorant ass. Tyrant murder the opposition.
“If the new activist, reactionary court (5-4) wants to overturn the election with no evidence, they do so at their own peril.”
At their own peril? Are you threatening the Supreme Court of the United States you commie fuk? Threatening the democracy with fake elections isn’t enough? What are you gonna do when you lose? Gonna send out your BLM/Antifa goons to kill us and our families?
You blind bastard can’t even see what a foreigner can see. Open your eyes.
Destroying democracy by Baron Bodissey ( and Englishman)
Destroying the democratic foundations of America will certainly have real world consequences. When Donald Trump won the Presidency in 2016 the far-left cried Russian collusion and displayed their visceral hatred across the entire left-wing spectrum, but their anger wasn’t based on the undermining of democracy; their anger was merely that of the petulant, spoiled child denied a shiny bauble. Their anger was lukewarm, false, unjustifiable. Their anger was mere political posturing and they now think the anger of Trump supporters is the same — mere political posturing.
But how wrong they are. How dangerously wrong they are. The anger of Trump’s supporters is white hot, it is incendiary, it is real and it is entirely, eminently justifiable, and it is not the anger of the loser, it is the anger of the wronged and is about so much more than Trump, this is about the democratic future of the United States of America. When a country reaches the point of such legal corruption and such moral degeneracy that democracy can be overturned in full view of a complicit and unquestioning media and liberal establishment there is very little guarantee that democracy will ever recover. This is why the anger is at boiling point, and even now, the left cannot understand what they have done.
I don’t need to spell out the numbers of Americans with guns, but I do need, apparently, to point out that the anger of millions of armed Americans is being stoked to stratospherically dangerous levels and that these angry people are justifiably enraged. Many supporters of the 2nd Amendment will right now be saying that the main, overriding reason for the 2nd Amendment is not to shoot deer but to defend America against a tyrannical government. Perhaps now is a good moment to say that in times of war our dead soldiers are always politely remembered for having died in the defense of democracy, but the dying part was never their intention. Their intention was to very impolitely kill the aggressors who wanted to impose a tyranny upon them and here we are today, in late 2020, looking at a scenario which consists of a tyrannical coup d’état in the face of a hundred million armed and angry Americans who are convinced their democratic rights have been trampled upon and subverted.
I hope and pray this will be resolved by the legal process, but I implore the Democrats, the left-wingers, the socialists and the communists to stop pretending what you have done is acceptable. It is not, and the consequences could be catastrophic both for you, for America and for the world. You are amongst the luckiest people ever to have existed on this planet. You represent a fleeting moment in time when you can live as no people before you have ever lived. Yet still you are unhappy. Cut off and cosseted from a world of brutality, poverty and misery you exist at the furthest extremity of decadence where your immense good fortune goes unrecognized and is instead replaced with a misplaced sense of bitterness, envy and hatred. You live in a wonderful country at a time of never before seen peace and prosperity, of freedom and democracy, yet you are now engaged in an action that could bring about the horrors of 20th century Europe. I am, as I say, an upstart limey, but this upstart limey is filled with a sense of foreboding and I beg you to stop what you are doing before the unthinkable becomes a physical reality. If you overturn democracy then America will become just another part of the brutal undemocratic world and if that happens nothing will ever, ever be the same again. END
If it’s civil war you want then civil war you’ll get but we will not be disenfranchised by a corrupt voter fraud system run by America hating communists. Like YOU, Elwood!!!
Kye, I don’t know why you bother. He seems to get off by pushing your buttons. He knows he is lying and doesn’t care. In all the time I have seen him here, I’ve never seen him accept any pro trump position or back away from any anti-trump obvious lies. Not even the lies he just makes up himself.
All it takes to make your case that the election was stolen is evidence.
Republicans have been presenting “evidence” to judges in dozens of cases and the courts say nada. Trump’s own DOJ and AG said “no credible evidence of widespread voter fraud”. So what’s your case?
The anti-democracy right-wing is seething that their savior lost. They thought they had entered Pax Conservacana and would rule America forever. They could rid America of those filthy hippies, lazy blacks, killer Muslims, dirty Mexicans and perverts. They can’t imagine that their religious-like fervor for Trump could be defeated.
The videotapes, affidavits, arguments and conspiracy tales couldn’t persuade even conservative judges. Why not? Trump’s uber-loyal AG, Bill Barr, said they couldn’t find any significant fraud. Why not? Only the Trump cultists see it.
Trump and his minions have lost touch with reality.
Today the Supreme Court declined to entertain the PA lawsuit.
What are the odds that SCOTUS will accept Texas vs PA, GA, WI etc?
Mr Biden will be inaugurated on Jan 20. Mr Trump will be out of office.
To ignore the pandemic would have resulted in millions, instead of hundreds of thousands dead Americans. We still don’t understand the chronic effects on survivors. Kidney, lung and liver damage. Neurological involvement.
If today our hospital system is overwhelmed with each Covid case peak, visualize a ten fold increase. We would be forced to let people suffocate at home.
As word got out that restaurant goers, and football crowds, and congregations were spreading the virus people would have stopped going anyway.
Airlines were hard hit as people chose not to travel. Businesses associated with airports lost business and employees.
Testing would have been unnecessary, since we wouldn’t take any actions anyway.
