I thought that this Texas Case would be the KEY to unlock the Irregularities, Anomalies and FRAUD. UNFORTUNATELY, 7 mJustices REJECTED the Case and, therefore NO Hearing. ONLY Justices Thomas and Alito wanted the Case from Texas to he heard.
WHAT? is next? Still have Hope.
I LOVE my state, and agree that we must fight against this theft! Now if only our other senator, John Cronyn, would feel the same way. This guy was a linguini-spined squish before Trump’s election & was kept somewhat erect only by the sheer efforts of Trump’s & Cruz’s ‘Never Say Die” attitudes. But true to his real form, he is now going limp again. Losing this would be galling enough, but doing so in part because so-called leaders on our side actively pursue Chamberlain-esque appeasement & concession strategies makes me absolutely sick! I warned my mom about him during the primaries, but we remained cautiously optimistic that he had finally embraced conservatism. Sadly, I was mistaken.
Do I need to add John Cornyn to the ranks of Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Susan Murkowsky, and, potentially, John Perdue and Kelly Loffler?
52-6=Not A Majority
Make no mistake, John Cronyn is a hack whose first inclination is to do what he perceives is the most politically expedient & profitable for him. I honestly believe that the only reason he isn’t as bad as those you mentioned is because he would have been successfully primaried if he were.
I’m so sick of this Chinese virus scam but I’m even more fed up with tyrannical leaders. Hello Newsome!
There’s an online comediene name JP Sears who is really attacking this scam via comedy. I learned that he might be de-platformed from Youtube. He’s now opened an account at Parler. People like him and Bill Whittle and company need our support. There are many others as well. Point is, get off of Youtube, Twitter, and Fakebook.

The Supreme Court needs to be reminded that we don’t negotiate with terrorists. If the Democrats threaten violence if they don’t get their way, then terrorists is exactly what they are.
Tell it to Chief Justice Roberts!
Is this good news?
Nebraska and 16 other states have joined a lawsuit initially filed by the Texas attorney general demanding that the 62 total Electoral College votes in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin be invalidated.
Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia as well as the Trump campaign have also signed on to the lawsuit filed Tuesday by Republican Ken Paxton.
This report is from NBC Nebraska.
50-4=46
17*3=51
So, a third of the states not being sued have joined in the suit.
I realize that this is breaking news and you haven’t had a chance to do any research, but I am compelled to make a couple of notes. As Wayne Gibson correctly points out below, this case does not have to “get to” the Supreme Court. It’s starting IN the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will decide whether to hold a TRIAL. (I’m not even sure if they have the option to decline to hold a trial, would have to research that point.) Right now, on Wednesday, they have given the Defendant States a deadline of 3pm EST on Thursday, exactly 24 hours from now as I type this, to Answer. I expect those will be paper filings. The Court will then set a date either for a preliminary hearing to determine exactly what the trial will be about (and perhaps issue some injunctions or orders to the States to stop them from certifying Electors), or they will set a date for the trial to begin. (Or perhaps decline to hold a trial.)
Second, this case, although it includes allegations of election fraud, is not about election fraud. Texas–and the other States who have joined the lawsuit–can win the entire case without proving one instance of fraud. This case is about the States violating their own election laws and their own constitutions, in violation of the Electors Clause in the U. S. Constitution, and also of the Equal Protection Clause that requires citizens (voters) to be treated the same.
Bill correctly notes that a significant point here is that the failure of the Defendant States to follow their own laws puts all of the other States which followed their own laws at a disadvantage. In other words, we’re chumps for following the rules.
But all that’s just talk. The only thing that matters here are consequences. Will the Justices have the intestinal fortitude to throw the book, I mean the Constitution, at the Defendant States, and declare their electoral votes forfeit unless their Legislatures appoint their Electors? Or simply declare their elections all forfeit without possibility of curing them, thus throwing the election of the President to the U. S. House under the Constitution?
I thought for a while last week that the State Legislatures were going to step up and do their jobs, but that seems to have fizzled. So this lawsuit may be our best hope to begin to restore election integrity.
I read that and pictured a cartoon of Uncle Sam rolling up the parchment like a newspaper and whapping a bad dog on the snout.
I was thinking about Justices Thomas and Barrett throwing the carved-in-stone copies (which are actually stored at Mt. Rushmore, but it would be worth retrieving them) over the rostrum, and watch everyone else duck and scramble.
I guess this is why we need cartoons.
(I like your version too. Bad dog!)
Excellent and informative comment. Thank you.
8 states join Texas Scotus Case.

Guess a little late to the “fight” but the gist has been pretty well covered – The Texas Suit is about the Constitution – Art 2 1.2 and the State Legislature’s authority being usurped.
A second note, however; as a Special Prosecutor, John Durham can bring forth and try a federal case in ANY State. So, a federal Crime of Election/Voter Fraud would be brought by him. Now, how many of these States have “fair” Federal representation? To Be Determined (as Bill suggested).
Thanks for the “link” to “here’s the evidence” Been busy building the network map of DOMINION Voting System with another Digital Warrior. You can see it over here: https://graphcommons.com/graphs/d208e5f8-aa2a-429b-b576-63e676d9f3e3?show=info it is still a work in progress.
I saw your graph, and it is rather confusing, especially when I pushed the play icon and it started moving… is that supposed to be somehow chronological or what? There is no explanation for what I am seeing, the key on the right side doesn’t help much… sorry…
About Soros and his 34 billion- I had been whining about he and Bloomberg having spent hundreds of millions to buy the election.
But 34 billion? He should be at the front of the line, not Nanzi Peelousy.
The extra few minutes spent waiting for the tar to warm up a bit more will be well worth the wait.
Constitutional Carry!
I will be surprised if the SC does anything. It typically only takes cases that were processed through other courts first.
That was my first thought when I heard about the suit. How does Texas have “standing”? But it seems that in disputes between states, the Supreme Court is considered “original jurisdiction”.

These men explain it pretty well:

I sure hope you’re wrong about that!
Shame I was correct.
What I hope happens would be that the SC decides the election is invalid because of the voter fraud in the swing states, and sends it to the House to be decided.
If the Supreme Court determines that there were sufficient illegalities and gross irregularities in the election process of the States in question and names Donald Trump as President …
Then the Democrats will never accept that as “fair” because they will claim that the decision was the result of Donald Trump “packing the court” with Conservatives. They’re already saying that, this isn’t me just reading tea leaves.
So the question really is one of whether or not the Supreme Court will rule according to the law or will rule according to what the Justices believe will be the least damaging to the Nation in the short term.
Because we all know that Conservatives will be very angry at a negative ruling but we are not prone to burning down cities and killing people over political disputes.
Whereas the Left has indicated beyond any reasonable doubt that burning cities and killing people is exactly what they will do if Donald Trump retains the White House.
The problem is that if the Supreme Court hears this case and the case is sufficiently strong to legally and properly put Trump back in the White House, but they refuse to do that because it will mean civil unrest on a large scale — A precedent will be set that is even more detrimental to the condition of the Nation in the long term.
In which case it boils down to a matter of having the guts to do the right thing.
I don’t know which way this is going to go and I’m prejudiced in this matter. I would not only like to see Donald Trump in the White House for four more years … I would LOVE to walk up to Whoopie Goldberg and say —
“Suck it up, Buttercup!”
Democrats would deny the Sun rose this morning if there was no milk in the fridge to pour on their cold cereal.
They are that “Scientific”.
That much is obvious to anyone not a Democrat. It still won’t stop them from burning cities and killing people if they don’t get their way.
To be perfectly clear, I most certainly am not advocating for them to get their way. I’m not afraid of their un-scientific science or their bratty uncivil tantrums any more than I am a subscriber to the pseudo-science some people who call themselves conservatives believe in. Like the ridiculous idea of “chemtrails” for instance. The Democrats don’t have a monopoly on ignorance and that’s not really the point.
The point I was making is there is a choice between short term damage or long term damage to the Republic. If the Democrats get their way the short term damage will be averted at the price of even worse long term damage.
I agree.
I was adding to your point about the Obdurateness of the Democrats.
They may not be stupid at all. They may know that when Conservatives call them stupid they are almost doing to the Democrats what Democrats do to African Americans, which is to call them Disabled so they can take advantage of them, except the “Stupid” Democrats take advantage of Conservatives.
It takes guts to fight evil. But it is not about doing the “right” thing. It is about doing the only thing that does not mean committing slow suicide.
All very true. Too often people fail to grasp the principle of “net cost”. A stopgap or expedient course today can mean greater difficulty or disaster somewhere down the line.
Which means they fail to make the right choice which is the only good (or sometimes simply better) choice.
Excellent summation. Judges and Justices having the guts to follow the law and let the chips fall where they may, instead of being institutionalists who don’t want to rock the boat (if I may be allowed to mix my metaphors), are what we need not to fix this mess, but to get to a point where we, the people, can fix it. If SCOTUS capitulates, I don’t know what to say that we do next.
I am leery of SCOTUS because of the rumors, that I agree with because of the Intelligence Community, that John Roberts has been compromised. Leery because others on the Supreme Court may also be compromised and this issue may be one of the most important to ever come before the court so the left will pull no punches to have the court decide in their favor.
The recent ruling smacking down Nipples Cuomo over his Anti-Faith Dicktatorship, in which Spineless Johnny was in the minority can maybe offer hope moving forward?
I miss the days when Kurt Schlicter novels were fiction and not prophesy
Amen, Brother.
I miss the days when everything worth having was not only worth fighting for but only gotten because the people who wanted them were willing to fight for them and fought for them.
In other words, when we as a people had to actually try to “keep the Republic”.
Then again, that halcyonic time never existed. People, Conservatives included, simply either did not notice or discounted the minute amounts the enemies of the Republic moved the border fence in, inches at a time, year in year out, slowly robbing the people of the United States of their Republic.
