Two separate decisions. Justice Alito’s order was unilateral. The other decision was from that 4-4 split.
The 4-4 “decision” was a decision NOT to decide— but was “laid aside”. In the dissenting group, it was Gorsuch that wrote the opinion and stated the original issue can and will be re-visited.
Don’t have the wording of that 4-4 refusal to hear the case— thereby sending it back to the illegal PA State Supreme Court actions (contrary to PA State Constitution— and thereby null and void, if they weren’t all set on illegal theft, and the survival of the dem machine). the wording is online.
The set aside/refusal was because there was not a full 9 seated SCOTUS. They will revisit it-— with the evidence. The PA Supreme Court is to be struck down because it flies exactly in the face of the Federal Constitution Article that gives the power of election laws/ rules solely to the State’s Legislatures (not the gov, not the PA Supreme Court, and certainly not the PA Sec. of State who is named).
FReepers on this thread. Justice Alito has this area of the country in his responsibility, and the power within the Court to give the Order he gave. The fact that they IGNORED the first order will NOT sit well with the full SCOTUS.
PA’s actions were, shall we say, Andrew Jacksonian in their foolishness (or some might say— “right, let him enforce the order- with what army. Answer the US Federal Govt. Unlike when Andy J caused Nullification).
