In a disappointing majority decision announced shortly before 6:30pm Friday evening, a majority of Supreme Court justices refused to take up a Texas lawsuit challenging four states in the 2020 election.
The court, with two dissenting options by Justice Alito and Justice Thomas, stated that Texas lacked a legal right to sue and did not have a legal interest in how other states carried out their elections.
The court rejected the Texas’ lawsuit without considering the specific merits of the state’s case.
Texas had asked the court to delay the official vote of the Electoral College, scheduled for Monday, Dec. 14, or prevent the four states from casting votes in the Electoral College for Biden. Justice Alito filed a short statement regarding the court’s disposition of the case and was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.
The position of the Supreme Court raises an important question that now sits unresolved. If an individual citizen is determined not to have standing to challenge an election result; and if a group of citizens represented by their interest in a state, any state, is also denied standing to challenge an election result; then who can constitutionally challenge an election, any election, that is mired in controversy and demonstrable evidence of fraud?
From the Alliance:
- An individual voter does not have standing to sue for election misconduct. (He/she is only one person and everyone cannot sue all the time for all elections.)
- An official who may be adversely affected, cannot sue before an election in anticipation of bad conduct because it is speculative (not ripe)
- An official who was adversely affected, cannot sue after an election claiming bad conduct because it is too late (latches)
- A state does not have standing to sue on behalf of its citizens to remedy other states’ bad election conduct (no standing)
The result appears to be that no lawsuit involving the recent election cycle has been heard on the merits. Insofar as I am aware, the substance of misconduct claims have not been heard in court. (In fairness, there has been no decision on whether a state can sue itself for election misconduct.)
The U.S.S.C has created a constitutional right to abortion from emanations and penumbras. It has told us there is latitude to provide jobs and college admissions based on race or sex. The high court has created a constitutional right to burn the flag.
The Supreme Court, and other courts, have determined limits on constitutional rights to: free speech, bearing arms, freedom of assembly, religious worship, who can use which bathroom, whether the state can hang a murderer; whether men can compete in women’s sports; whether you can operate a restaurant, how hot your coffee can be, etc. ad nauseum.
However, when it comes to the citizen’s right to make sure his or her vote counts and is not nullified by corrupt and dishonest practices, the courts have decided that it is imperative they restrain themselves from taking a position on the merits.
They have thoughtfully informed us of constraints on them that no-one knew existed. The Friday ruling cites only a conclusion, but no reasoning.
If a state sues, is it not representing its citizens? Isn’t that, at the root, the only function of a state government? Are the citizens’ rights to an honest vote not affected if another state runs a bogus election and the first state’s votes become nullified?
Does a state not have standing to sue because the court anticipates it will not succeed on the merits? Why do courts ever bother to write legal opinions when they can save time and tell us the outcome they have in mind right away?
My untutored mind is having difficulty figuring out just who, and under what circumstances, has a legal right to a fair election.
It seems the current answer is: no-one.
I’ve listened to Atty. Sidney Powell’s latest appearance on the Lou Dobbs show where she discusses the huge amount of documented evidence about the machines flipping votes, giving the names of 4 individuals involved in the voting machines, and more and more it is becoming apparent that she and her team are on the right track to bring down the fraud, and those who knowingly participated in it, including the money from Facebook.
The question will be if it can be presented in a timely manner to stop this coup in time for the upcoming January 20 inauguration.
The evidence is beyond compelling as well as significant enough in scope to reverse the election in favor of the People’s President. In some ways, while we still need to have this playout in the courts and other venues, it’s likely just theater for those that matter under plan B. Namely the 100+ million armed legal citizens that voted for Trump and those in the Military that ultimately will implement Martial Law.
The President will decide shortly whether to go quietly into the good night or fight as if his nation and his family depended upon it, which it does, because Marxist take no prisoners. After what General Flynn went through, if you think manufactured ‘evidence’ and all other forms of judicial fraud won’t rain down on not just the President, his family and anyone else that dared to support the Constitution, you haven’t read the history of Marxism or color revolutions before. Just like we know clearly who the Traitors are, they also know who the Patriots are.
There’s a reason that God told the Israelites to go in and exterminate every man, woman, and child, and every bit of livestock of the Amalekites…They were irredeemable and evil beyond measure, able and willing to destroy all that was good.
We are there now. Irredeemable evil. You get my drift
Th Amalekites were of the conehead genetic lineage known world wide as the serpent cult. Their skulls have been found all over the world and have 2x the brain capacity of homo sapiens and no sutures in the skull, so they are not deformed human skulls. Alien and probably what is called the fallen angels. They were connected to most of the human sacrificial cults and their skull shape is iconized in many a Priestly or religious ritual leaders headdress. Their footprints seem to fall behind those at the top of the satanic power chains where those in seeming top leadership remain afraid of something/someone/some force that has remained hidden for centuries..millennia.
SCOTUS WILL NOT TAKE CASE
Easy there Ed. Step away from the ledge.
There are at least four state election cases on their way to the SCOTUS.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/sidney_powell_is_still_out_there_fighting.html
Thank God for Sydney Powell and L. Lynn Wood!!
Did overwhelming evidence stop Russia collusion/Impeachment scam/Clinton emails/Biden Burisma?
Its time to fight.
No one has a right to contest an election, as long as the election is for Trump, or the plaintiff is a Republican/Conservative, or any group/state that supports a Republican/Conservative candidate.
But, we will change no one, to any Democrat individual citizen, groups purporting to represent Democrats, Any Blue or Purple state if it is in support of Democrat candidate(s), and lastly any foreign third party or group such as the open society or the UN that feels that the election of a US official would impact a global society of communists negatively.
That is the two tiered Justice system. They may humor a RINO litigant on occasion just to pretend to be fair and lawful, but the outcome will always be preordained against the RINO.
I agree, but based on the PA Rep letter only about 80% of Republican’s are Patriots and zero Marxists (better known as Democrats) are Patriots. So even though the Republican’s hold slim majorities in WI,MI,PA and GA the Patriots do not.
Further, even if we are somehow able to toss out these key four States, we still have the same problem above under a 12th amendment scenario amongst the ‘Republican’s’ in both branches of Congress.
If Trump is not in office on at 12:01 pm onJanuary 20th, secession at the county level should begin. New states will emerge and the land mass of “Blue” America will end up consisting of less than 5% of US land area. Even more importantly those blue enclaves will be hopelessly discontiguous — so much so that they will be unable to form a single functioning nation.
There are ways to preserve the Republic without bloodshed. We just have to think outside the box.
Yes, the battlelines are at the county level, then the States, then the ultimate prize the restoration of the Republic of the United States of America, one State at a time if needs be. Patriots already hold a majority of; the land, the energy, the water, the minerals, the food, the manufacturing and the people. All we need is to return to an honest and thus lawful vote of “We the People” and its game over.
Always keep in mind that without the voter corruption of just four Marxist counties in just four key swing states we wouldn’t even be talking about this. All this on top vote flipping on the order of 30% nationwide thanks to the CCP funded voting system. In short, we figured it out.
There will be bloodshed.
Did you see an Antifa shoot a Patriot, in cold blood, as an execution, this past summer?
More of the same will immediately ensue.
Until the blue territories recruit help from China to take over red territories.
The key is the food supply. Blue enclaves cannot feed themselves. Like the siege of Troy, all we have to do is withhold their food supply until they relent to the rule of law and the problem is solved.
We can shut down the grid. cell towers, turn off the water, gas.
If these blue cities get wind of such things, they’ll by cannibals in a week.
We are the majority, we elected President Trump on Nov. 3rd.
It is time for a Cairo, if this is not resolved.
While this might sound good, have we forgotten the 1860’s when states felt that they were not being represented fairly. That didn’t end well. States rights was lost then. I am praying daily for our dear president. Praying he never gives in and praying he has good advisors. Praying also some justices have troubled consciences tonight.
The Civil War shows why secession must start at the County Level – not the State Level.
County secession can strengthen Red States beyond reproach.
The justices SHOULD have troubled consciences!
It is time for them to find their nerve.
They are too busy sitting on their brains to find their nerve.
Yes – County Level.
Agree on that – read this thread on Southern Illinois joining Missouri.
Northern Minnesota joining North Dakota.
Red Counties need to secede from Blue States and join neighbouring Red States.
It’s called “Geographical” and it’s expression is through politica, judicial, legislative & military power.
“think outside the box”
With strong leadership and committed, loyal, fired up supporters, we can take and hold significant territory. Our local Sheriff in my Georgia county will certainly exercise his independence when necessary!
Will take publicity and fund raising to establish new political party. Most importantly, our perseverance to stay the course. And I’m not out of the box, yet, but I’m ready! I have no desire to “fix” the Republicans. They have had plenty of opportunities to “ wake up”.
Our destiny as a free republic is ultimately in God’s hands….He expects of us to be good stewards, honest and trustworthy, love our neighbors and help meet there needs as we are blessed.
Penner, I am in complete agreement with you. SEMPER FI
Barnes is self-promoting for business.
Or maybe providing alot of people with informative legal reasoning for free.
Can we just impound the damn machines already.
The proof will either be there or it won’t.
…evidence already “cleaned”
For those mathematically inclined, this patriot (already on Sidney’s team) solved PA algorithm today…here:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xacpP-o5Pqw
GA the other day…
He’s doing a fantastic job – was watching this earlier. Unbelievable work and math at the highest degree.
The Prez has the servers from Germany. He says he has it all, which means all the records of all the information entered, redacted, or transmitted.
EXACTLY!
The question is: WHEN will we see him use it?? –or will we??
I’m not ready to subscribe to the above no-way-out analysis yet. The Parnell litigation remains docketed at SCOTUS and standing isn’t an issue. Yet. That case raises the same question regarding PA’s L.77 as the Texas case did.
If standing is SCOTUS’ hold-up there are slates of electors in GA, WI, MI and PA ready to be plaintiffs. Let’s get going.
…the Court just ended the republic as we know it…precedent having been established, there will never be a “fair”, untainted election again…in fact, the court just opened itself to an illegal administration whose own party leaders have publicly stated they will now “pack” the court, guaranteeing every unconstitutional act from here on.
The Patriots still hold the Executive Branch and thus the Military. The question is what do we do with it in the time that remains under a non-war time Constitutional order?
They and Barr will rot in hell forever for what they did. God will have mercy on Thomas and Alito. ACB… What a Trojan Horse.
Ed, please suggest your solution, or…
read a book about the Psychology of Efficacy, or “positive thinking when approaching a challenge”.
Defeatism is deadly.
I get it that the Supreme Court does not want to set a precedent that could open up a vast array of “Bills of Complaint” about event allowed in particular states that have negative impacts on other States. The entities that must take action are the State legislatures. The State of Texas, et al, should advise the Legislatures PA, GA, WI, and MI that evidence indicates that the elections in their States appear to have occurred in violation of the will of the State Legislature. Demand that the State Legislatures investigate the situation, and either declare that the illegal changes to voting laws, and the myriad frauds in clear view represents the will of the Legislature; or, declare that the elections were defective. Require throwing out illegal ballots, or call a new election run according to the laws set forth by the Legislature, or select a different slate of electors. But the US Constitution requires the state Legislature to appoint the State’s Electors. Until that has happened, any Electors appointed by other means are illegal, and cannot cast votes in the Electoral College.
Will Legislatures do anything? Not likely based on what we’ve seen so far.
Look please, the court reverses itself all the time on less important matters. These series of cases before the court represent the very fate of the Republic itself. Namely whether “We the People” or CCP decides who our Representatives are? It’s really that simple.
If that isn’t enough for the SCOTUS, than both their legitimacy and even their functional role under the Constitution will effectively end under the court packing that will happen if the People’s President is not elected as is the will of 100+ million legal citizen voters.
The Supremes are well aware that their legitimacy is at stake.
They are just asking for Plaintiffs to carefully set up the “case that will bring all of this DOWN” in the APPROPRIATE way.
If we can carefully bring a case, with perfect STANDING, that argues the MERITS,
in a TIMELY manner…
BOOM! It is all over!
At least we are in good company! scotus also determined that unborn children had no standing as well.
According to the Royal Edict from most high OZ, if WI, MI, PA and GA continue to stuff ballots, use Dominion, have no signature check and fix a permanent Dem majority then the rest of the country is just flat out of of luck. What a corrupt sick joke!
And with this block of states ALWAYS blue, elections are mute.
Initially, I would agree with you. But,…
The other day, I looked at an electoral map of Washington state. WoW!!
Almost the entire thing is deep RED!
We always think of Chicago as being notoriously corrupt, but…
never consider that the “ALWAYS blue” states might be JUST AS CORRUPT!
The SCOTUS says that Texas doesn’t have standing.
Time to take the Texas lawsuit and put the Trump campaign on it (they have standing) and re-submit
I guess the states can make their own rules and don’t need to follow federal mandates either. Seems fair enough.
you guess? they already do…You are being locked up because of Wuhan… Sanctuary cities exist and you have Obamacare
justice kavanaugh’s betrayal hurts the most.
to think i supported that man thru everything.
supreme
cowards
of
the
united
states
Write them and Barr a letter. Damn their traitorous souls to hell. Curse them. Hopefully, their punishment begins in this life. I’m serious as a heart attack.
Initially, I would agree with you, but…
IF you try to look at it from THEIR DIRECTION, you might know that WHEN (not IF) they finally
RULE against the CORRUPT officials, voting, ballots, etc.,
*THAT* ruling will be TRULY HISTORIC and, therefore, CRITIQUED for all posterity!
The FILING has to be PERFECT, before the Supremes can render JUSTICE.
Bush v. Gore originated as a suit between the candidates in state court and
made it to SCOTUS via the Florida state SC. So it would seem the answer to
the question of who has standing to sue for election fraud would be the
defrauded candidate, in a state court where the fraud occurred. Barnes and
others have pointed out that the candidates themselves have the most
unassailable claim of standing, and the pathway to SCOTUS with that standing
goes, by precedent, through the state court system.
I give TX credit for trying something unprecedented, but fortunately candidate
Trump has suits pending in all five state courts that are on the Bush v. Gore
pathway. SCOTUS actually ruled for Bush over hanging chads. It would be
indefensible for them to now refuse a ruling for Trump when the fraud is is is on
a trans-national industrial scale.
State court origination. That’s the path of Bush v. Gore, and that’s what’s missing in the Texas suit.
BINGO!!
Way too much negativity here tonite. This coming week will be awesome.
DARN STRAIGHT, darose5308!
TOO MUCH negativity! and, this coming week will be AWESOME!!
**keep the faith!
Cobwatch, unlike the rest of most of the world Americans still have their guns.
I do not think our country will come to us using them but the world might see why we have fought to keep our beloved 2nd amendment when all of you made fun of us.
I have watched and enjoyed a lot what England has to offer for TV entertainment through streaming devices and have not missed the swipes that are give many times to the United States and our “cowboy” attitude and our love for our guns.
I have also watched with much sadness at what is happening to the once great western European countries under the boot of the EU and do not think that they will survive.
The United States is a Republic not a Democracy and I think we will once again surprise the world.
The “shopkeepers and farmers” of the American Continent surprised the whole wide world when they beat the greatest army in the world in the late 1700s to early 1800s and we will do so again when we beat back the supposed unbeatable uniparty machine.
I was taught to revere the US Constitution and respect our Founders for their wisdom to craft it. Never did I imagine SCOTUS would reject Presidential election claims on a contrived basis of “no standing”. Everyone other than those complicit in the vote rigging and outright stealin go fthe Presidential election is an agrieved person. But just like Obamacare being a tax, standing is for those connected. Only could a corrupt Supreme Court arrive at those conclusions.
This will make you fell better. Fantastic essay by Andrea Widburg
at American Thinker- Sidney Powell is STILL out there fighting.
Sidney is a powerhouse. If anyone can get this done
it’s Patriot Sidney Powell.

That was excellent.
There were voices telling us the Texas lawsuit was a longshot. Few listened, or perhaps never heard.
The opportunity for failure was always there.
There were always at least two paths available to us – lawsuits, and the state’s Legislatures.
There were a few rallies attempting to influence state Legislators, but once the lawsuits began it appears we gave up on state’s Legislatures and went full bore lawsuits.
We still have actions available. 14 Dec 2020 is the first deadline for influencing Legislators before voting for electors. We then have until 6 Jan 2020 to affect the outcome of acceptance of electors by Congress.
There are still lawsuits ongoing, many of which we are unaware. Listening to former NYPD Commish Bernie Kerik, who is/has been a key member of Patriot Mayor Rudy Guiliani’s efforts the past few years, says our time is short, but the onus is on the feckless establishment Republicants, and us.
Btw, it appears many here are unaware Pres Trump joined the Texas lawsuit. One of Pres Trump’s attorneys-on-record for the Texas lawsuit was Dr John Eastman. Pres Trump was also denied standing in the Texas lawsuit.
How’s that for a good kick in the teeth?
We need to quit all the fussing and and whining and get to work.
This ain’t over, not by a long shot.
Not trying to be negative here, but that’s not how it works.
We voted for the Electors on November 3rd. In Idaho it lists the names of the Electors in fine print in the same box where you vote for president.
It is clear, for all the blathering about the Thomas Court that this is Roberts Court, unequivocally and he rules it with an iron grip… Which means it’s not a Conservative Court, it’s a Bushie Court and we all know the ramifications of that…
It’s a Federalist Court. And not in the good way we would have once perceived of the word Federalism
Manganese, aren’t the two the same???
Sorry, I meant Magabear…
By that I mean Bush Court=Federalist Society Court…
Considering that 3 of the mentioned Federalist Society judges are PDJT picks, I guess we sadly have to call it the GWB/PDJT court. Though GWB did pick Alito.
Did the scotus say anything about the dead citizens and their “standing?”
If the courts could allow the Democrats 37 days to recount Florida, why couldn’t they at least grant a hearing to the Trump team?
We went to war in Iraq sending our sons and daughters, husband’s and wives on 1/100 of the amount of expert testimony and evidence.
It is the same as with the 0bama coup of 2008. Nobody had standing then and nobody has standing now.
Same exact thing!
How hard is it to find more Justice Thomas judges?! Thats all I would look for.

Poser
Do you think SCOTUS would have refused to take up the Texas case were the situation reversed and Biden would be the beneficiary?
Horowitz makes a great point here. The SC seems to have no problem issuing decisions that bind other states to rulings that emanate from a particular state. Guess election law is sacrosanct.
then who can constitutionally challenge an election, any election, that is mired in controversy and demonstrable evidence of fraud?
China
Facebook
Google
Amazon…
to name a few.
This guy sums it up well here:
“The Constitution is 4 pages.
We’re furious because Originalists treated a simple matter of federalism as a contentious, even unanswerable, question of “standing.”
No state would have joined the union knowing the other 49 can violate the Electors Clause. Or any clause. The end.”
Good point!
Is it a fact that 30 of the 50 states Delegates are Republican if it comes to a
vote?
If so do the 30 State Republican Delegates have to vote for the Republican Presidential Candidate?
If not will a majority of the 50 state delegates (30 of which are Republican)
vote for Trump?
Not 30, 26. That 30mfiguremis from an internet rumor making the rounds.
Its 26-23, with one state split. Pretty razor thin. And there are no guarantees that states with majority Pubbie delegations will vote for DJT.
They have likely all been threatened, as is likely with the SC justices.
Thanks
Donald John Trump, the last President.
The shadow of the American flag should be a headstone, with the dimming light of a setting sun casting a long sad shadow.
If the dimms can take a disputed congressional race (not really in dispute, dimms just trying to steal a house seat) to the full House, why can’t PDJT do the same (and he actually was ripped off!)?

You can always depend on the US Supreme Court to be hiding under their desks when the nation comes looking for courageous patriots save the republic.
So, I guess their saying that cheating in any election is just fine. Then, the Republicans better get their fraud systems in place or they’ll never win another election.
Found your comment in the bin…. 🙁
If a state cheats on an election, and the whole country, let alone just some other state, how does the affected party not have standing?
They pulled that stunt on us when we were questioning Obongo’s fitness for President, as well.

I was talking about this earlier, the supreme court has essentially stated that no one has the standing to sue anyone else over unconstitutional conduct. The Supreme court has just stated that they have ZERO purpose in existence and are now robbing the american people with their salaries. Jail the supreme court members who denied this lawsuit for they have violated their oaths to uphold the integrity of their office.
What happens in a few years from now when the democrats have absolute and complete control over the country and they starting vying for power within the party amongst themselves? How to get rid of an opponent when they know your tricks?
SCOTUS has now told America that it is irrelevant, and that no CIVIL remedy or justice will be found when an entire state is wronged by another. It is about not even hearing the plea. Therefore, strike the word ‘civil’ and proceed accordingly. Justice will be yours to acquire, however you shall.
So the old axiom crime doesn’t pay is now gone. Teach your children to lie, cheat and steal because that is what our so-called leaders practice themselves and apparently teach their children. It is also OK to sexually assault and even torture children. When a society embraces evil as ours is currently doing that society will fall. That is what is happening. The anti-Christ is stalking our country and the world.
Merry Christmas.
If Texas’ citizenry is disenfranchised by other states committing fraud, you would think that would give it standing.
arrest all the criminals starting with Joe Biden , Hunter Biden , Joe’s Brother heir all part of the illegal overthrow of America… Then ask Joe about the 107 murdered in the Maiden Square and how John Kerry and John McCain went to all the Universities telling students to come to the Maiden Square one million strong for 10 days and they will get a better government…. The they hired Saakashvili’s snipers toshoot people at random ,,, Saakashvili was rewarded by making him a Ukraine citizen and made Mayer of Odessa ,McCain visited him in Odessa
I don’t think that most of us know about this affair. Please give more details, like dates, the situation, etc.
The Supreme Court is now meaningless.
Don B, Facebook page – “Supreme Court Tyranny page”. On December 11, 2020 a sad end resulted in a case in which the state of Texas questioned clear actions in violation of Art. II, Sec. 1, Clause 4 of the U.S. Constitution and 3 U.S.C. Sec. § 1. wherein the executive branch authorities of the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin changed the procedures for their elections for the President of the United States rather than the legislative branches of those states changing those procedures as required. The date will go down in legal history as a black mark on the Court.
As you know, from what I said in my book, I am adamantly opposed to the Court having the ability to not even hear a case especially one like this. The Constitution specifically gives the job directly to the Supreme Court to settle disputes between states. If a case involving two states were to have to wind itself through the lower federal courts it could, and does, take years. Such delay would be unconscionable with respect to these lawsuits where the citizens of both states could suffer inestimable damage because of that delay. The Court was wrong in not even hearing the merits of the case and actually as a result of their action no longer has a legitimate reason to exist. Not only are they not existing to provide a check and balance in the federal system as a result of their tyrannical behavior in violating the clear language of the Constitution but by not hearing a case as important at this dealing with the federal election for President of the United States are not providing a check and balance at all. All members of the Court should immediately resign or be impeached.
