Trump Asks Sen. Cruz to Argue Texas Supreme Court Election Case
there won't be an argument, man.
Google digging their own grave.
that won't stop you from watching your YouTubes at 4am Saturday night
Standing by.
What's going to stop you from thinking you have hand, board cuckold?
The truth is the truth. If it hurts that's on you, derp®️
Derp gonna quickly log out/log in
3 tentacles of the kraken have been dismissed
all that's left is wisconsin, which has a pending motion to dismiss
Frankly, the SCOTUS just not granting leave will probably save a bunch of lawyer's reputations from themselves, and at this point looks like the more graceful exit for this situation, tbh...
Paxton gets his pardon, Trump remains a sore loser, which is totally expected, and launches his 2024 bid.
The other option is the court ruling on Laches, but throwing a fig leaf to the States in the form of stating they could challenge other State's electoral laws, if done in a timely manner.
Stop the fraud tbh
What fraud?
Be specific.
if they grant leave, then CA, NY and co should sue all the southern states incessantly for voter suppression
I said Stop It
They could probably also mention that the relatively recent virtual dissolution of the VRA opened the door to this, and dangle that in front of them again. Don't think this SCOTUS would reinstate, but I doubt it's a topic those states want to even risk.
There's really no legal path forward here that I can see. This is more grifting the rubes.
The real problem is that it puts the high court in the uncomfortable position to end this show, possibly causing ins utional damage to it. So at this point, I assume there's a lot of thinking on how to avoid that.
I thought the way the PA appeal was resolved was a clear message, but apparently it was not received.
And they win and SCOTUS decides to toss election to legislatures?
What is It?
Be specific.
the possibility ElNono mentioned was was dismissing for laches, but leaving open future lawsuits.And they win and SCOTUS decides to toss election to legislatures?
glad you understand how ridiculous of a precedent this would setAnd they win and SCOTUS decides to toss election to legislatures?
Relief sought doesn't have to be that. They could also request the SCOTUS to review electoral laws and procedures. The VRA would be a precedent for that.And they win and SCOTUS decides to toss election to legislatures?
I'm just curious how do the justices feel about getting the high court hijacked for a dog and pony show. There really are no questions of law here, despite what the plaintiffs claim.
It's well established State legislatures voted to vest election officials with powers to carry the election. A lot of electoral laws in these states have been litigated already, some in front of this very court.
The notion that different state's legislatures select different methods to conduct elections is as old as the Republic itself, and if that should invalidate elections, then pretty much all elections since the start of the republic are invalid. This is not a serious legal argument.
And lastly, if the concern is with a particular law on a particular state, most all of these laws have been enacted well before the election, and there was ample time to litigate them. Heck, some have been and these plaintiff states never joined those timely lawsuits, which is a textbook case of laches.
As far as the allegations of fraud, the Trump team itself, via their absolutely horrible legal campaign post election, have provided the defendant states with plenty of legal do entation to firmly dispel that notion.
Like I said, I suspect the high court is looking for a graceful exit off this show.
Thinking this some more, the SCOTUS can also just tell these States they should sue in lower courts first as a matter of procedure, which automatically means this election is over and any lawsuits that come afterwards would be decided post-election.
That's probably another graceful way to exit this.
