There are only a few instances where a party can file a direct lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court, a state claiming harm by another state is one of those instances.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit [pdf here] with the supreme court seeking and emergency injunction against Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia “from taking action to certify presidential electors or to have such electors take any official action including without limitation participating in the electoral college.”
The Texas AG argues that arbitrary changes made by the state’s governors, secretaries of states and election supervisors were “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.”
The lawsuit states: “these non-legislative changes … 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.”
Paxton notes the intent of the states may have been changes in good faith, due to COVID-19 mitigation efforts; however, the end result of the changes is in direct violation to the Constitution and therefore creates the harm.
“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.”
Here’s the full Lawsuit as filed:
While I am NOT completely confident that SCOTUS will do the right thing, this lawsuit is exactly what we needed at the right time. It’s brilliant in its simplicity: “The rest of us followed the rules, but these 4 states didn’t, therefore they disenfranchised the rest of us who followed the law.” It’s the equivalent of having a competition with 4 bodybuilders, with 3 of them saying that 1 other bodybuilder used steroids when none of the rest of them did, so that 1 should be disqualified.
Again, I am not confident SCOTUS will do the right thing here – I’d say it’s 50/50 chance – but it’s a brilliant lawsuit regardless.
lol arent you tired of the roller coaster? just accept it POTUS won, and will win, and his enemies are bratty shtheads that worry us crazy ! lol
You have no idea how tired of it I am, my friend. At least if it was an honest election and that walking corpse legitimately won, we would all mourn and move on. But this dragging out when the evidence is as clear as day is maddening.
Think of it like this :
https://twitter.com/4thAmendmentRe2/status/1336481957644005376
Unfortunately, the answer is “yes”
Ah…it is the Rollercoaster that we have all been on since the day President Trump came down the escalator!
How many times has the media and Democrats thought…we have him now…he is finished? And what happened…it always boomeranged on them.
We have to wait and watch it unfold. If it doesn’t work out….then we will talk about it when it happens and what to do. But…we will keep fighting.
The swamp is fighting tooth and nail on this….they risked everything on trying to get Biden in office. And they lost–BIGLY. They should have (but obviously didn’t) realized that our President would/will/is going to fight back. Why…because he is fighting for Us.
So, I am thinking…we are probably only half way through this. And it is going to get UGLY…like the BIG UGLY!
Strap your seat belt in and be patient –President Trump has got this!
And most important–I trust God.
The good news is we won’t have to wait 4 years to see if justice is served. We’ll know for sure within the next month or so. Hope for the best (and live your best life as Sundance says) but prepare for the worst. Plan Accordingly!
Oh I’m not saying they won’t HEAR the case. What I worry about is they will hear it, then kick it back to the states. Their actions thus far this year lead me to believe they want nothing to do with the general election.
It cannot be kicked back to any state. No single state has authority to make this decision and it goes directly to SCOTUS. No one to kick it back to!
Oooh, good point. But couldn’t they kick it back to Texas as well as these 4 states and say “you guys work it out amongst yourselves”? They just seem to love punting.
see 1860 for what happens when states…work it out amongst ourselves…..
That was covered in my 9th grade civics class, then my 12th grade Government class, followed by Political Science 401 Constitutional Law and finally 2nd year Law School – Federal Jurisdiction 302.
In all respect- the SCOTUS does not tell Texas to just go work it out.
The TX lawsuit actually desires the exact remedy you fear. The AG specifically says it is not the Court’s role to decide who won. It is only to reject the electors and require the State legislatures to do the Constitutional thing: appoint their electors.
The State legislatures in question might simply say “our election results stand”. They might appoint new electors for Trump. They might give a 50/50 split. Etc.
The fundamental “reasonableness” and simplicity of the remedy should appeal to SCOTUS justices who might want to send a clear message about election integrity and the Rule of Law without actually deciding the election.
Hokkoda, I like the way you think. The Texas AG was smart to request such a remedy.
I heard on,I believe, Newsmax that it was Ted Cruz that provide Ken Paxton w/ the idea so kudos to Ted if true
The conclusion first wants those states to be excluded from the electoral college, which would be ideal for us. But then yes it does say alternatively it should go to the state legislatures to appoint their electors if the first remedy is unacceptable. Obviously this second one would not be ideal, as the state legislatures have proven to be squishes who cave to threats. If SCOTUS agrees to exclude the 4 states from the EC, it would then go to the house which I think is what Team Trump has wanted all along.
I still don’t trust the House to not break their own rules also though, so regardless this is going to continue to be a nail biter. 🙁
If the House breaks their own rules, SCOTUS looks at the Constitution again. We still win.
RWG
I do not read the Conclusion that way. And I think we do not want those states electors excluded, rather we want them appointed for President Trump.
CONCLUSION This Court should first administratively stay or temporarily restrain the Defendant States from voting in the electoral college until further order of this Court and then issue a preliminary injunction or stay against their doing so until the conclusion of this case on the merits. Alternatively, the Court should reach the merits, vacate the certifications from the unconstitutional 2020 election results, and legislatures pursuant to 3 U.S.C. § 2 to appoint electors.
If these 4 states electors are excluded, that reduces the numbers of “appointed electors” (see 12th Amendment) to some 476 of which Biden has a majority of 244. So he would still win. I think the idea of needing to get Biden below 270 is incorrect.
I still think he needs 270 to win.
Conclusion should read thusly (edits bolded)
CONCLUSION This Court should first administratively stay or temporarily restrain the Defendant States from voting in the electoral college until further order of this Court and then issue a preliminary injunction or stay against their doing so until the conclusion of this case on the merits. Alternatively, the Court should reach the merits, vacate the Defendant State’s Elector certifications from the unconstitutional 2020 election results, and Remand to the Defendent States legislatures pursuant to 3 U.S.C. § 2 to appoint electors.
Thats not how it works.
The Winner has to have 270 EC votes. Regardless of how many are seated.
This conversely means as well….if Biden had enough that throwing out these 5 states wouldnt take him below 270, it would be meaningless to pursue this.
the options for the States legislatures.
1) Trump electors
2) Biden Electors
3) no electors
or 4th) spilt evenly.
We want 1 or 3.
No electors would allow them to say…SCOTUS said the election wasnt valid, and so we are not sending any. They avoid looking partisan and shielded by following SCOTUS decision. 4 of the 5 do that and nobody gets 270 and it goes the House of Reps, each state gets 1 vote and we have 28 states.
If the legislators split the electors between POTUS and China Joe, would either have 270? If neither candidate wins the electoral vote, POTUS will win in the House. Politically, that would be the best result that gives SCOTUS cover from allegations of activism or partisanship and preserves federalism and originality by letting the state legislatures decide. Repubs legislators just have to calculate properly unlike the Dominion machines.
Originalism not originality.
Does anyone on here not think that the millions of voters will get to the REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS to demand that justice be done?
Even Georgia Governor and Sec of State and Senate Leader will be thrown out of office and silence by the PEOPLE.
No way in HELL that the REPUBLICAN VOTERS of PA GA MI and WI allow this to happen TWICE.
See my comment directly above. The Presidency is awarded to whoever has a majority of “appointed electors”. So that phrase needs to be defined.
If it is kicked back to the states, they’ll all refuse to appoint electors and leave it up to Congress
RWG – Still probing the ground around our new home, would you indulge me with the type of device you’re using? I ask because every line I see in your post ends with the first one or two letters of the first word of the next line. Wondering whether it’s a word-wrap thing or justifiation gone wrong or ???. Seeing it with others’ posts, too.
And on the subject, can anyone here explain to me in Constitution for Dummies terms what the XI Amendment means? Seems it might apply here…
Edit – It just did the same thing to my post. Had not seen that before.
Me too. Hard to read.
Happening to me too since I came on this evening.
Yes, it’s very difficult to read.
The Defendant States have already violated the Constitution and there is nothing to kick back. If the SCOTUS accepted the case it means that at least 4 of the 5 ( maybe more) under rule 23 believe that Texas will prevail on the merits of their request for relief. SCOTUS does not take up a case only to say : “Cute theory Texas- go back where the Defendants corruption came from. If they took up the case there is a presumption Texas will prevail.
Well, I’d hope Thomas or any justice would say this…the damn Constitution explicitly says so.
It gets no easier than that.
Or a biological male competing as a woman because he identifies as female and then winning all tje gold medals! You NAILED it!
I Agree – updated – 7 states have joined, we need more.
China owns DOMINION, and all the officials who run the machines. We only need POTUS to do the right thing.
For the good of the nation.

I know Breyer, the wise Latina, and the Harvard Law Professor will decide the Constitution doesn’t matter. Not sure about Roberts. I hope the rest of them follow the law.
This lawsuit gives SCOTUS the opportunity to do the right thing — if 5 Justices want to. That said, I would feel better on the issue of standing if Bill Barr joined on behalf of the United States.
Interesting – the Great Showdown!!
Gulf Coast vs. Great Lakes (& Georgia).
9 vs. 4 at the moment – with more stats to join?
Everyone should be calling their state AGs (getting others as well) saying you feel your vote has been disenfranchised by those states who violated their own ejection laws. And demand they join the Texas (and others) lawsuit. I’m doing tomorrow and I’m in CT. F it, just because my Governor and AG are far left shitheads, doesn’t mean they can’t start feeling the heat.
I contacted the Ohio AG today asking to join with Texas in the suit. I had seen this on thedonald.win earlier today.
I feel your pain. Here in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey the Gov Murphy and his left wing cohorts would never even entertain the thought. ??
Here in NY, DITTO. I generally consider Cuomo as evil (or stupid?) as Newsom, though even Newsom didn’t murder >10K elderly citizens.
If you have it, please post Tong’s email,…thanks!
308 Win Mag solves lots of problems….very sad it may come to that…..I am not a lemming and will not be pushed over a cliff….simple as that.
Gonna assume you meant “.300 Win Mag” since there’s no such cartridge as “308 Win Mag”, unless you’ve wildcatted something up for us. I get it, the .300 has a bullet diameter of .308, but still. Personally not a big fan of the magnums, but use whatever works for you.
Correct ‘USA’ and thank you for the clarification…..it does work for me, and just fine….2nd amendment is a wonderful right for us all !
30 year retired US Navy Master Chief here….getting interesting these days…not sure the ‘bad’ guys understand who they are messing with…so be it.
emailed the AG in Nebraska Twice…I am thinking Ricketts though, has ties to China to be quite honest with you….very sad indeed.
AG Doug Peterson is a good man and I wouldn’t be surprised if Nebraska joined this lawsuit.
Don’t be sad. FIGHT!(politically).
Call your state AGs and tell them your input and request they join the filing.
Yeah i am going to get right on that, Keith Ellison will join alright, but it will be the wrong side.
Exactly. Ellison would join the wrong side.
Same here with NY AG Letitia James.
As a fellow NYer, you’re right. I just laughed sadly at even bothering to send her a message urging NY to join in. She has made it her life’s mission to take PTrump down.
If this goes the way it should though, I am surely going to message her with what I think of her and how horrible a job I think she’s doing for our state.
Can we in GA join against our own state? Friend of the court?
The lights have gone out in GA.
Ok,I’m going to request that my state AG in MN join in. At least I may get a good laugh if he responds
At least maybe an Alah Ahckbar
I hope somebody brings up Foster V Love, 1997 at some point. a 9-0 SCOTUS decision that election day is “the day”, no valid votes counted after midnight.
I hope someone does in one of these lawsuits. Because the whole “well we had so many mail in ballots” argument makes absolutely no sense, since they got them EARLY. In many states they had them weeks in advance, so I really don’t see the argument that they then needed days to count them all holding water. It’s not like they didn’t know how many they had, or how many people they’d need to scan them all in on election day.
Florida had millions, counted them early, and was done at 8PM basically.
There was only one reason to wait, and we know what that was
EXACTLY. Yet these cheaters argued weeks before the election that “we won’t know the outcome for days because there are soooo many ballots.” They really think we are idiots.
“They really think we are idiots”. Why yes, they do. And that will
be their downfall.
We know who the idiots are, because we’ve seen too many of them on video committing election frauds and illegalities. Their carelessness will bite them in their way overblown butts.
?
On election day, at the designated poll closing time, an election worker stands at the end of the line, demarking “the last person in line”.
Anyone who arrives after that is told “Sorry, your too late!”
Does it “disenfranchise” thos voters turned away?
Yes. Is itvlegal and Constitutional? Indubitably.
Same principle, whether by mail or in person, otherwise you have disparate impact, equal protection issues,….right?
In a sane world, yep!
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.” Akira Kurosawa
That’s how it should work and it did once upon a time 50 years ago and more. We need to nail that down for next time. Maybe PTrump can push that reform in his second term and get rid of the anchor baby scam too.
There is a key point in your comment that is needs to be mentioned. Election day for National Office has been set by congressionally passes legislation, per their allocated respoinsibility to set election requirements for national office. No legislation as been proposed nor passed to modify the date due to China Virus or any other reason for over 100 years.
State Executives that allowed votes after election day violated two sets of laws. State Laws regarding State Legislatures being responsible for legislation defining how a State chooses to comply as well as violating Federal Lawas by appropriating powers the States DO NOT have to set requirements with respect to National Office.
Call the team and tell them to add that on.
I think that is part of the point; state legislatures are the only ones who can make decisions/regulations/mandates as to elections. In the cases of these four states the governor, secretary of state, etc. went around their states legislature to make election law changes which is against the law.
please God lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. ??
*** as another user mentioned in a previous thread, i too am totally digging the inclusion of the page # in the comment section. While Sundance is our leader our beacon of hope i also visit here daily for the last 5 years (first time poster) for ALL the insightful comments and links. You are my main source for news . Thank you
much!
Is it just me or am I seeing words broken up leaving several letters on one line and one letter on the next line. The print also now looks darker, but sentences are breaking up everywhere. It was not that way this morning.
eplogics: it’s not just you. My guess is admin is aware of the issue. Otherwise, so far so good with the switchover!
I see it too. It’s a formatting issue. I’m sure they’ll get to fixing it – there’s probably a long fixit list.
I see it in my and others’ comments. I think it may have started the same time the Like button showed up…
I sure hope they keep the darker print. The light print this morning was so faint that my old eyes just could not see it well enough to make out the words.. I couldn’t read any comments. I can deal with broken up words – at least I can see them.
Right, for me it started this evening also.
The 4 named defendant States supposedly have until 3 PM Thursday to respond.
I think the Trump team set a bit of a trap here making it appear to be about election fraud and not this lawsuit. The short turn around time and surprise nature of the filing should create some challenges in responding.
Proud to be a Texan. Brilliant move. Imagine the Supreme Court will eventually accept a case. Dershowitz doesn’t seem to be optimistic this one will make it through.
On the docket. Done.
God Bless Texas and it’s State Attorney General Paxton.
I read that as General PATTON. LOL
Proud to be a Texan today.
i hope obama doesn’t call roberts tonite with death threats.
And everyday!
What would be really sweet is of they now find how those votes were flipped on the Dominion machines in Michigan. That it was not a glitch, but purposeful. Go to court loaded for bear
I’m like most of you, not a lawyer.
I went to Margot Cleveland’s twitter for her take:
“So, I finished Texas’ briefing and don’t let anyone tell you this is a coup attempt or attempt to overturn election. It’s not. There are serious constitutional issues. But, I doubt 5 justices will want to get involved and my gut prediction is that a majority of the court will 1/
2/deny Texas’ request for relief, basically reasoning that the state legislatures could name the electors if they wanted to and by not doing so they are ratifying the results. In other words, Texas can’t force MI, WI, PA, and GA state legislatures to remember we’re a Republic.3/ And frankly, our beef shouldn’t be with the Supreme Court if it refuses to order the state legislatures to name the electors, it should be with the pantywaist state legislators who refuge to do so now.”
This is my fear – SCOTUS does not want to get involved. As much as I hate it, they are not parents and the states are not children. It really isn’t their job to make elected officials follow the law.
their choice is to get involved and keep this country, a country, OR, POTUS ignites the insurrection act and its PURGE Time.
I agree. Period.
They’ll go down in history for all time, by name, as having refused to prevent the destruction of the greatest Republic of all time. I believe they DON’T want to do that.
RWG…Actually it is the job of SCOTUS to make sure all citizens are adhering to the Constitution, that includes elected officials.
I read the relief differently. Texas was asking for their electors to be thrown out not selected by the legislature. That would deny either 270 and send it to the house.
That is not what it says. They want a stay until the case is decided, or to proceed directly to the relief, which is to remand the appointment of electors to the defendent states legislatures.
The 270 or bust idea may be incorrect. If these states EV are not recognized, it lowers the number of “appointed electors”, and Biden retains a majority – so Biden wins.
CONCLUSION This Court should first administratively stay or temporarily restrain the Defendant States from voting in the electoral college until further order of this Court and then issue a preliminary injunction or stay against their doing so until the conclusion of this case on the merits. Alternatively, the Court should reach the merits, vacate the Defendant State’s Elector certifications from the unconstitutional 2020 election results, and Remand to the Defendent States legislatures pursuant to 3 U.S.C. § 2 to appoint electors.
I dont think that’s right. Must have 270 minimum
This is wrong. The electoral college requires an absolute majority. See Article 2, Section 1, Clause 3: ” … The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed.”
Electors appointed — not electors voting. So 270 is the minimum to be elected President.
The SCOTUS rules on Constitutionality.
The four states named violated the Constitution.
The SCOTUS needs to take this case.
Any vote after 11:59 pm November 3 gets voided.
That would the best ruling for a fair election
I have the same fears. But, it IS their job when one or more states harm other states. I’m furious. My county went 75% Trump and we have NO RECOURSE for this stolen election other than: 1. the Supreme Court making it crystal clear that state legislatures need to get off their collective asses and fix this shxt, or 2. Civil War. If SCOTUS does not assist, we lose the Republic unless we are willing to physically fight to save her. We have no other choices. The corruption is so deep and wide that we *must* get Trump for another 4 years to continue to drain the swamp, and THEN, we need Flynn. #FightLikeAFlynn. And patriots forever more. We need to kick the Communists/Marxist/Socialist/Progressives to the curb. Hard.
On the other hand, if one state or some states don’t wish to follow their own laws and if that lack of adherence to laws (and to the Constitution of the U.S.) winds up affecting citizens of OTHER STATES, as in the election of a federal office holder such as President of the United STates,
and if SCOTUS doesn’t see to it those states do adhere to laws, isn’t it therefore understandable and even LEGAL for those states to secede from the union?
I can’t think of a better argument for secession if SCOTUS thinks any state has free reign to be capricious or act illegally in federal elections.
It’s still unconstitutional. It would be signing off on the laches denials of even an evidentiary hearing. So States can do something unconstitutional, if they have the ability to not do something unconstitutional?
What then is to stop a Dem legislature from simply appointing D electors if their state votes red? That’s constitutional too under Margot Cleveland’s analysis of why the USSC won’t take it. The constitutional specifies who appoints and how, but it also provides for a state legislature to override.
Or better yet, an “R” legislature could appoint “R” electors if their state votes “D”. Such as New Hampshire, which went red in their state legislature this year but their electoral votes are blue. Would the USSC not take up a challenge under that set of facts?
It’s a fair argument and probably right. However, TX will correctly argue that they are suing the States, which includes the Legislatures, for violating their own laws. Nobody, in any branch of State government acted Constitutionally. That’s why the proposed remedy is for SCOTUS to send the question back to the State legislatures to provide their electors Constitutionally.
I disagree. If the SCOTUS punts it will have violated its duty to uphold the Constitution and preserve the Republic. Historically, the Justices would go down as cowards as well. The least it can do is via a declaratory judgment remind the state legislators they can select the electors for their state if they doubt the bona fides of their vote counts or processes
It’s not about relief. TX is basically suing the other states. Now 6 more joined against the 4. I’m guessing more will join.
The USSC is the only court that can hear the case. Sure, they can dismiss it but they won’t…
They don’t want to open Pandora’s Box. They dismiss or rule against they are telling all states:
You don’t need to adhere to the Constitution. The explicit written rule of law no longer matters.
Because that’s what they are doing by dismissing or not ruling in favor of TX.
The Constitution explicitly says state legislatures. Those four states altered their laws without legislative process….
It should be cut and dry.
How come I keep hearing they can’t get 4 votes? I have faith in Thomas, Kavenaugh, and Barrett, they were all put through the fire and survived. Is Alito suspect?
And I know Roberts has had what seemed to be bad calls in recent years, but they all carried poison pills that shot silver bullets through the heart of the matter on down the road. For example, he called Obama Care a tax. That poison was slow acting but fatal. He shot down a case on religious freedom, but as I understood it, the case was making the argument that churches should not be subject to more restrictions than local businesses were with regard to COVID. Why would we want to subject places of worship to cowtowing to whatever the local commisars want to subject local businesses to? They have their own amendment for heavens sake. Recently he rejected a ballot case, but oh lookeee …. They got a better one to work with.
I think we should have faith. God called Ruthie upstairs and gave us Barrett just in the nick of time. God is on our side, but works in mysterious ways. Le’ts remember who is really in charge here.
You spelled “downstairs” wrong. 😉
<b>The state of Louisiana just joined Texas in the lawsuit!!!</b>
Thank God for Texas!
This is so incredible and perfectly timed. I LOVE the idea of the states keeping each other accountable!!!! I pray that more states join in… It seems like a very reasonable argument and agree with another friend here…. simple suit yet so telling. Is it just me or does it feel like one of your kids just came to you and said, “Mom, two of us followed the rules and the other three didn’t….what are you going to do about it?” So practical. It SURE DOES disenfranchise the states AND individual voters who took the pains to do things the right way!!! The left is “always so concerned about nobody being disenfranchised….” right?? Praying so hard for our president, his family….for their safety and for legions of angels to expose the evil and bring them all to justice! I agree with so many of you that this is The Last Stand….regarding this election. If Trump concedes and we all fold there will never be another fair election. They will make sure if it. Praying.
Depends if SCOTUS upholds its onligation to preserve me the Republic and Constitution.
In the end, not only is all politics local, as Tip O’Neill so correctly said, all politics is personal.
Scotus doesn’t want to get involved in evidence of fraud nor do the state legislatures and because they don’t, our vote means nothing and because the vote means nothing, we are living in an oligarchy.
Those with money own the government and the pols who pretend to represent us.
We are the old Soviet Union.
There ceases to be an attempt by judges and justices to apply the Constitution for anyone except large corporations.
Grant Stinchfield (Newsmax) shows the states joining texas!
https://twitter.com/4thAmendmentRe2/status/1336478963296833537
yea I’m not watching Tucker!
It shows NC joining..that is hard to believe. Small town in western NC fining people for not wearing masks? This is very bad…governor is aligned with China
It’s the SOS who files, not the Governor
I thought South Dakota joined.
It did
I also read Oklahoma filed it’s on lawsuit mirroring Texas.
The South will rise again (except Georgia, caveat emptor.)
The South’s gonna rise again! 🙂
Almost resembles the map of the U.S. during the civil war.
There is a key point of law and constitutional rights that is needs to be mentioned. Election day for National Office has been set by congressionally passes legislation, per the US Congress’ allocated constitutional responsibility to set election requirements for national office. No legislation as been proposed nor passed to modify the date due to China Virus or any other reason for over 100 years, by the US Congress. Pelosi, Schumer, McCarthy and McConnell have proposed nor passed any legislation to modify the date.
State Executives that mandated votes after election day violated two sets of laws. State Laws regarding State Legislatures being responsible for legislation defining how a State chooses to comply with Federal Election Requirements as well as violating Federal Lawas by appropriating powers the States DO NOT have to set requirements with respect to National Office.
That is addressed in this TX lawsuit. Taken from an Epoch Times article that outlines everything:
“Another claim Paxton made in the complaint to the U.S. Supreme Court was that, while Pennsylvania’s state legislature enacted bipartisan election reforms in 2019 that set a deadline for receiving mail-in ballots for 8:00 pm on Election Day, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court later extended that deadline to three days after Election Day.” That is part of the lawsuit, he is saying they violated law by just decreeing an extension.
NC allowed ballots to arrive nine days after Election Day. If those ballots get removed, we would have a new Governor.
Sending some love ? to Texas ?
So.. how would this effect the GA runoff election?
Gotta love that recent quote from Justice Gorsuch, “ Government is not free to disregard the [the Constitution] in times of crisis.” That was two weeks ago in the case where “Pacino De Niro” Coumo’s edicts discriminated against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and Agudath Israel of America.
Ka-ching!
Just saw that while reading what Mr. Sekulow wrote today on his website. Thanks for posting.
Also, Texas cites it on page 26 (Scribd p. 33) of the motion in the paragraph headed:
The Plaintiff State is likely to prevail on the merits.
Plus we have to remember that Alito made statements to PA to segregate the mail in ballots.
They didn’t.
Not a very wise move on PA part to thumb their nose at a SCOTUS!
Don’t mess with TEXAS!!!
U.S. Supreme Court gives the states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin until 3:00pm Thursday to respond to the filing by Texas.
https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1336478948222513152
Thank You Texas!!
Arkansas is in!
With the Texas lawsuit against four corrupt swing states, which at least seven other states have now joined, sort of, it makes the upcoming march on December 12 in Washington, D.C. all the more important.
12/12/20 – StoptheSteal! President Trump Won in a Landslide!
The big picture on this is horrible.
When young people see blatant corruption for advantage at the peak of the electoral/govt/administrative State it’s just so easy for them to take it on as normal. “Only suckers and fools don’t”.
SCOTUS has a duty to understand that. I fear it will look away in the end.
Gee thanks History
You need some concrete pills… to harden up… if a comment on a blog so easily damages your morale.
Someone should let Jim Hoft of gateway pundit know his headline is misleading on the PA case.
Yes. I don’t tweet, but someone who does needs to send him Jenna Ellis’ tweet on the matter.
Many of Gateway Pundit’s headlines are misleading LOL
signing in to see comments. Semper Fi!
My thoughts is that this has been waiting for the timing to be right.
There is no way that Texas got all of this together in one night.
Other States have joined in. Praise the Lord.
They gave the corrupt States the chance to do the right and legal thing—and they failed. Sad.
As always, I take my cue from President Trump. Does he look worried …nope.
And he knew this was coming. At the rally, he said “We just need one hero to step up.” ????
I am so proud d of my state attorney general. He is a brave patriot.I hope other states will follow and join Texas in this.

BREAKING ???
The Supreme Court has accepted and is hearing the Texas case.
https://twitter.com/qtah17/status/1336487685448339458?s=21
With respect, the 1st tweet is unavailable and the 2nd tweet offers no source.
They won’t vote to hear it until after the states respond
All praise and all glory to God in Heaven.
Blessed be the name of Jesus.
Keep praying patriots. God is listening.
Indeed. We must continue to pray and seek the Lord’s favor and mercy, and success in pursuit of truth.
There is no link. First twitter is no longer there. recheck your info. thanks
Did i successfully make the leap to the new site???
Yes!
Do any Treepers have a chess meme of the resigned king? Tonight’s news and discussion makes me feel like screaming “Check”. However I’m NAL nor am I a chess master, but still, I’m in better spirits than I’ve been for several days.
Sundance needs a Medal of Freedom.
Yes, Sundance does merit the Medal of Freedom. If it wasn’t for the CTH I would have never known what big liars the Democrats are and would have gone off the deep end long ago.
Florida now in.
FLORIDA IS ALL IN
God Bless Texas!
Again, there is no source for these tweets, even the Florida Rep.
Florida’s AG nor their governor has issued any statement.
Not trying to pick on you, just searching for source info on this entire subject.
Can you name a public institution that you believe in any more?
No.
For what it’s worth — very little, against the Insane Left — as a 72-year old hard scientist (physics)***, I know the best evidence of fraud in the election is the stopping of the vote count on election night, followed by a hugely biased dumping of (hundreds of thousands of) votes that reversed the election in favor of Biden, In one state it would be highly suspect, two it would be near-certainly fraud…but it was in FOUR STATES: Georgia, Michigan, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Furthermore, as Gateway Pundit pointed out; in each of the 4 states the huge Biden dump was followed by a rigged voting machine bias, that gave Biden the continuing lead, once the previous huge dump had put him there. The odds against 4 supposedly independent state counts showing that same abnormal pattern, by chance alone, is astronomical…and on top of that is all the other evidence, including even actual film of illegitimate counting in Fulton County Georgia we have just seen.
I am of course very happy to see this Texas lawsuit. But it should not be left, forgotten, that the pre-election conniving it addresses is tantamount to saying the conspirators arranged things so fraud COULD have occurred. The inescapable and unimpeachable PROOF that fraud, on a grand and intensely coordinated scale, DID occur, and that it DID fraudulently change the outcome of the election, is the “Drop and Roll” Gateway Pundit explained in detail, in a short, simple video, with actual voting data in each state.
No sane and honest person, much less strict scientist, can be allowed to deny this. And it is, of course, provable to any desired degree of accuracy, by analyzing the data in these states in past elections, I am sure. An abnormal pattern like that probably occurs, even intentionally, only once in a hundred races (just a reasonable, even conservatively high, guess on my part); that’s a 0.01 probability of occurrence of such a pattern, and for FOUR states to all show the same abnormal pattern, in the same race, would be 0.01 to the fourth power, or one in ten million probability of occurring by chance alone. Understanding that low probability of no fraud, the rest of the overwhelming evidence, and filming, of fraud cannot be denied even by the insane.
Hmmph…I didn’t put in all those orphaned letters from split words…
***I have particularly, even uniquely, strong, applied (real world) experience in calculating small probabilities, simply and correctly. In fact, I believe I INVENTED, in my own revolutionary research, the method of finding at least 4 independent facts, each having a chance of occurrence between 0.01 and 0.1, and all showing precise agreement with a specific reality, to be able to say with certainty that chance was definitively NOT responsible for their all happening.
…Well, the Devil never gives up…I entered a wrong number…0.01 to the fourth power is one in 100 million, not one in 10 million.
Thank you Harry. First we win this election, and then we go after the perpetrators.
I see Arkansas has joined !
Supreme court will rule on the Laws/Rules Followed, and not if a vote mattered, existed, or was legal, or even on time.
Checkmate.
Good thing, but what took them so long?
Patience is a great virtue. Grasshopper. Let things play out and then catch the miscreant. In other words the cat lets the mouse play and learns his moves before he pounces.
Like!
Which way will “ moist finger in the air “ Roberts go – VDH said on Lou Dobbs that Nate Silver ( no less ) says 60% of Americans believe election was a fraud / rigged- that number is probably increasing based on viewing both the expanding evidence and also on what a total nonentity loser dud “President Elect” Biden is turning out to be ( how could he have won without cheating , just doesn’t pass the smell test ) . If the SCOTUS wants to SAVE the integrity of the the Nation and the American Election system they had better vote a remedy , if they don’t – welcome to Venezuelan politics .
Hopefully more states grow a backbone. Keep the insurrection act on the table, write your AG and flood SC with calls and letters also. This must end the way it was meant to be. We must persevere.
The Insurrection Act will be needed when the election is overturned and the left erupts. The President will not defer to the states this time. The changes at DOD assure this
Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota have now joined Texas is this suit. Jordan Sekulow discusses the “End all, be all case.”

Noice. This is everything… or nothing… I guess.
(Ok, not exactly “nothing”… but you get the sentiment)
I emailed my Utah AG, Sean Reyes, to urge him to join this case. Unfortunately, our governor and gov elect (Lt. Gov) are RINOs so don’t know if he will be allowed. Sean has been a vocal supporter of the President.
With the Supreme Court already punting one case that most thought was a significant case… I’m pretty demoralized.

The Penn case today was not quite a punt, more like a delay of game. That is what I have read, sort of makes sense as the certs can be changed later if needed.
Those poor Lawfare rodents, they thought pulling all-nighters ended with law school. Too bad, so sad.
