REJECTED!

[vantexan]

Well that’s simply not true you want to claim that “...court usurped the power...” but that’s an opinion not supported by higher courts. So you would like your opinion to override judicial process because you don’t like the finding. That’s not how it works. And if it is unconstitutional, well, I’d say we’ll wait and see what the SCOTUS says, but they’ve made their opinion emphatically clear.

SCOTUS didn't express opinions. They stopped the case so they wouldn't have to.

The courts are refusing to do the right thing. There are other remedies. SCOTUS is not setting a good precedent telling half the states to take a hike.

Then buckle up buttercup because the palace intrigue is about to get real.

I've never seen anything in my life that would lead me to believe that politicians are smart enough to pull off something even close to what you're suggesting.

The election does have a bad smell about it but I still say that the Repugs knew about these irregularities before November 3rd and did not proactively file lawsuits.
After the fact (election) lawsuits really lessen the probability of any relief from the election results.

The Repugs got their guy. They’re glad Trump is gone. Just no cojones to say it publicly.

SCOTUS didn't express opinions. They stopped the case so they wouldn't have to.

Actually the two dissenters did express an opinion. They said that in theory they felt that the court should have heard the case but even if they did hear it, these two justices would have sided against the Texas and the president

"In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction," wrote Alito, joined by Thomas. "I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue."
—Justice Alito.

This is the opinion of Alito and Thomas

The suit was so ridiculous it would have been curb stomped 9-0. They should really be thankful to SCOTUS for saving them from that embarrassment.

The suit was so ridiculous it would have been curb stomped 9-0. They should really be thankful to SCOTUS for saving them from that embarrassment.

And now we wait to see if Trump has a little something for Ken Paxton as a thanks for creating more election loss doubt and resentment among his followers even though the lawsuit itself failed.

From yesterday:

The FBI has subpoenaed Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general leading the long-shot lawsuit to overturn the 2020 election for Trump

“The FBI has served subpoenas to the office of Texas' attorney general, Ken Paxton, as part of its investigation into abuse of office and bribery allegations, local media reported.

It is not clear exactly how many subpoenas were issued or what information the agency is seeking to obtain with them, sources told KENS5.

The Austin American-Statesman reported that federal agents visited the attorney general's office on Wednesday to serve the subpoenas.”

“In October, the FBI launched its investigation into Paxton after senior members of his staff told the agency that he might have violated bribery and abuse-of-office laws in his dealings with a wealthy donor, the real-estate developer Nate Paul.”

I’m not sure they are capable of being embarrassed.

That's on top of his five year old indictment on federal securities fraud.

We need at least 17 more of these threads where Democrats can cry that President Trump won't concede. Keep it up Bacha.

 

[bacha29]

Naw, no feelings involved. These states violated their own constitutions, allowing the democrats to steal the election from the other states. If Texas were so sloppy to allow such clearly illegal activity in their own elections that affect other states, they should sue as well.

Violated their own states constitution huh? So tell me just how did Pennsylvania violate it's constitution?

Doesn't matter if he concedes or not . He will leave office one way or another at noon on 1-20-21.

 

[bacha29]

how do you file a lawsuit on a crime that has not happened yet.

Go ask Ken Paxton.

And just what in your opinion is the "right thing"?

 

[Jumpin Jack Flash]

Trumps Supreme Court rejects Trump campaign. Trump appointed a third of the justices on the current court. Trump couldn’t even get a hearing. Trump and his base look more and more like trolls daily. They really have no idea about justice or more importantly the Constitution.

 

[newfie]

but they’ve made their opinion emphatically clear.

that one state cant challenge another states election result

not what they said. they said they would not have stopped any processes while they heard the case
