    Nope. They said it should be filed, not heard. You got some homework to do.

    Nope Alito had said previously when he warned judges. It was filed and the other 5 refused to hear it. The core issue remains, can judges and governors and local officials usurp the Constitution and the state legislatures rules for these elections.

    Gore only sued to allow they counties that were recounting to be allowed to finish after the deadline. Real convenient to have a drop dead date so you can’t have a manual recount.

    Is this when the evidence of massive fraud is presented? Considering the quality of the witnesses so far presented in various courts around the country, SCOTUS won't bite on original jursidiction and sully the court with such baseless bullshit

    False you don't know what you are talking about. Having the standing to file the lawsuit is an entirely different matter from the merits of the facts of the lawsuit. It didn't get into to court to have those merits weighed. You obviously don't know how my government and judicial system works.

    Live and learn.

    Its only a 3 minute read at most. I know exactly how it works but it seems you have some problem in interpreting the case itself.

    The merits of the submission were procedural attempting to invoke original jurisdiction. SCOTUS rejected the case on its merit - the bogus request for original jurisdiction in a case that had already been adjudicated in multiple other pertinent jurisdictions. A second year law student would know that let alone an under indictment Attorney General fishing for a pardon. .

    True.

    These Pro-Trump "filings" have long since jumped the shark beyond any of semblance of reality.

    That is why no respectable lawyer is willing to risk disbarment by filing these frivolous "suits"

    Actually it still isn't over. There is still ongoing litigation and the combined House/Senate can object to a states electors like Maxine Watters tried in 2016 but could not get a Senator to sign on to the House objection. This is why you are seeing swing states republican electors sending their votes.

    Lol.

    IT IS OVER. Period.

    There is ZERO Chance that will happen.

    Do I have to walk you through it?

    Do you understand the procedure IF "dueling electors" are an issue?

    Well, Just in case:

    1) IF 2 Sets of Electors (in an absurdly unlikely scenario) are sent by a state (for each candidate), THEN, Both Houses of Congress Vote on which one to seat.

    2) Obviously, The Democratic House will vote to seat the Biden Electors.

    3) The current makeup of the Senate is 50 (R} and 48 (D}, since the GA Senators won't be seated by Jan.6th.

    4) Thus, only 2 GOP Senators would be needed to seat the Biden Electors.

    5) Romney, Murkowski (at an absolute minimum) will be enough to give the Senate the Majority to accept the Biden Electors.


    Tl;Dr--Alternate Electors being selected is NOT Happening.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but the blog states: "As a result, the court rejected Texas’ lawsuit without considering the merits of the state’s case." Isn't that the opposite of what you're saying?

    Spurious claims notwithstanding, that is a funny signature.

    no, because the submission of the suit was meritless in the first place. The supreme court rarely grants original jurisdiction. They are usually the court of final appeal.

    Trumps team had already had one case refused to be taken up on appeal to SCOTUS.

    So the only other avenue to get to SCOTUS was to attempt to get them to hear the case as an inter state dispute under original jurisdiction. IOW, the QUALIFYING merit of the case was whether this was a legitimate pleading.. And the answer was a big fat NOPE..

    If you have something to say then say it and I will respond. It remains that the SCOTUS did not hear the case on it's merits because it said the persons bringing the lawsuit did not have standing to do so, that's all.
