Texas requests Supreme Court to overturn Biden win
The (D) Media View. Biden won. On the The Promised Land!
[Dallas News]Texas AG Ken Paxton’s longshot suit asks high court to negate 10M votes in Georgia, Penn., Michigan and Wisconsin. Ted Cruz agreed to argue the case for Trump.
Nope, no bias here!
President Donald Trump and 17 GOP-controlled states filed motions Wednesday backing Texas’ longshot legal effort to get the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn results in four states that helped deliver the presidency to Democrat Joe Biden.
I thought it was a constitutional question, silly me! But wait - didn't Trump predict a SCOTUS issue weeks ago?
Trump called this "the big one" after losing more than three dozen cases in federal and state courts alleging ballot tampering and fraud.
Are any cases still open? Giuliani's? Powell's?
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed the lawsuit on Monday, effectively asking the nation’s highest court to negate 10.4 million ballots from voters who picked Biden over Trump in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Just the illegal ones.
Officials in those states called the lawsuit a baseless stunt. The Supreme Court has given them until 3 p.m. Thursday to file responses.

Trump’s legal team has found no traction in court for his unsubstantiated claims that the election was rigged or stolen, and the president embraced the Texas case as the latest and possibly last potential vehicle to stave off defeat.
At least they didn't say "inevitable defeat". A glimmer of hope.
The Supreme Court has signaled little interest in second-guessing state election procedures after the fact, though it offered Trump a glimmer of hope by not rejecting Texas' challenge out of hand.

Only the nation's high court has jurisdiction in controversies between state governments, though the idea that one state can challenge another's elections is novel. Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican who served as state attorney general before his election in 2002, was dubious.
Not challenging the election, buddy, just the process. If the procedures are found to violate the US Constitution, then there's the question of what to do with the mail in ballots, not the whole "election".

#5 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was passed over for Barr on the federal level. Paxton aggressively put several people in prison in Texas since then in Texas for election fraud.

#6 This is Trump's last shot. If SCOTUS dismisses this one, it's over. OTOH, if SCOTUS rules in Trump's favor, it's over too.

#10 It would never happen but it would be nice if whomever won called a special election, a Do-over that followed all the rules and restored faith in the system.

#11 A mulligan is the only option that will prevent CWII.

Fail to overturn this monkey business, and we WILL have armed resistance.

Overturn this monkey business, and the Deep State will amp up its shenanigans, Blamtifa will start burning down 100x the number of neighborhoods they've done so far -- and we WILL have armed resistance to Blamtifa and the D.C. conspirators.

Either way, there is no alternative to mass violence in this country except for a do-ever. With ONLY in-person, supervised, verified, signed votes.

Purple ink on voters' fingers, tons of monitors -- the whole bit. If we have third world election nonsense then the only cure is the radical transparency that we impose on newly-democratic countries crawling out from the wreckage of totalitarian fraud

M - U - Double L - I - G-A-N is a name that a Shane has never been connected with

#14 The USSC is asleep at the wheel. They don't like to interfere with "political" issues and, judging from their behavior on related issues, are blind to the significance of this election's chicanery. Our entire system of governance is losing its legitimacy among the real electorate.

#15 6 more states wants to join the Texas posse that already is at 18. That equals 24, yawl.

#16 Good.

ThecUSSC isn’t asleep at the wheel. Roberts is compromised and they don’t want to take the hit again. They have to.

#17 This is indeed good news. It may be time for a Constitutional Convention. If for no other reason to re-affirm and strengthen the current document.

#18 22 blue states just filed an opposing brief against the 24 states at the Supreme Court.

#19 Do you think the Democrats, Deep State, or their Media allies would honor the outcome of a Convention of States?

#20  It may be time for a Constitutional Convention. If for no other reason to re-affirm and strengthen the current document. IIRC the Constitutional Convention leading to the present Constitution went beyond its initial mission. The electorate and political class being what they are, a new and revised constitution could wind up being horrible. It did take a civil war and the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to undo the Dred Scott decision.

#21 Just do the vote over.

Paper ballots in person, ID required, hand-counted with the counting videotaped & documented.
