All the decision said was “Denied,” no? No vote was listed. Alito could have killed it himself.

So Dems are free to cheat with elections and get away with it.

They won’t have to pack it with 13 judges. If they do win and take the White House, they’ll control everything. They’ll impeach Barrett, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, at least.

Impeachment of a sitting Supreme Court Justice requires a simple majority in the House, but to convict and remove from office requires a 2/3 majority in the Senate.

The Dems do not control 2/3 of the Senate, and we don't have that many RINOs.

You are correct, thank you. I just might have Roberts/SCOTUS Derangement Syndrome. Should’ve read more before commenting.

Thanks for the correction. I should’ve read more than I did. I have been quite disappointed in Roberts over these last few years so am too quick to assign blanket blame on his sorry and duplicitous self.

Remember the Alamo!

The 'Alamo' was the election counting of votes.


Seems like some have forgotten San Jacinto!

And that’s the way it will be forever, unless the people do something about it.

The Pennsylvania case is still alive. The court denied the application for injunctive relief, the case itself on the merits was not dismissed, only the application for injunction.

This Pennsylvania case was a Petition for Certiorari with Mandamus in aide.The court’s juristiction is discretionary. Not so with the Texas AG case.

The Texas case was filed by a STATE. SCOTUS has original jurisdiction to initiate a trial on a Constitutional issue from any of the the states.The issues involved are very similar to the Pennsylvania case.

The dismissal of the Pennsylvania petition for injunctive relief happened about 40 minutes after Texas filed its case.This means that the court will likely combine and merge the plethora of election cases now wending their way to SCOTUS using the most unshakeable jurisdiction SCOTUS has. When they rule on the Texas case, they will be speaking with their strongest jurisdictional authority on this Constitutional crisis.

74 million Americans need to have this cause heard, And if it goes against them, we will no longer have a Republic.Then it would be Katey bar the door, because the left will see real Civil Disobedience of patriots for at least 4 years, the kind that would make Portland’s and Seattle’s BLM/ANTIFA
looting, arson and riot intimidation games look like playpen antics of the ignorant. The FBI won’t even begin to track what happens then. We would be on the road to Civil War in every urban environment sanctuary city. Communist China’s West coast warehouses and businesses would be destroyed. Anti Jew organizations would have the Mossad welcomed by patriots to do their dirty right here in America.

People have no idea of the fire the left is playing with right now.We need President Trump to take his duly elected seat in the oval office. We need to keep our Republic, not surrender it to Alinsky Socialists.

I’ve said it from the beginning. Roberts will not allow

SC 6-3 voted to accept Texas case so I guess you were wrong.

All that was denied is the immediate injunctive relief—and the case wasn’t dismissed, but just set aside for now.

That is presumably because the TX case essentially encompasses that argued in the PA cae, but from a broader and stronger position—for which the Supremes are considering PA’s actions still able to be corrected and so without immediate relief from them required.

The corrupt MSM of course is ignoring all that and spinning it as an ultimate defeat for Team Trump.

I’ve said it from the beginning. Roberts will not allow the court to get involved in this. He’s a company man and wants to protect SCOTUS at any cost.

Although I am late to the discussion, CJ Roberts has no greater say than any other justice in deciding whether to stay the certification. Under the Rules of the Supreme Court, Judge Alito, as the justice responsible for the 3rd Circuit, can grant the stay, deny the stay, or refer it to the full court for consideration, where CJ Robert's vote is no more significant than any other vote.

Although the SCOTUS did not provide a reason for the unanimous decision to deny the stay, I suspect it has something to do with the "case or controversy clause" in Article III, §2 of the Constitution, which requires a real dispute, as opposed to a hypothetical or abstract dispute, for the SCOTUS to exercise jurisdiction. Under this provision of the Constitution, there is no justiciable dispute until the PA actually certifies the election. Here is a laymen's explanation of the case or controversy clause: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_or_Controversy_Clause

When it comes to Roberts derangement syndrome, all conservatives have a touch of it.

How many Republican Senators will be unemployed in 2 years if they get in? How many will roll over for the Dems to protect their positions if the Dem’s get in?

There are a few exceptions. But the UniParty will do whatever it takes to maintain their positions

Other than Cruz, what other Republicans are out there publicly supporting the President and calling out this scam election ? But there are more than a few that are telling the President to call it quits and go home.

If we aren’t doing it by now, I’m not sure when it’s going to happen.

Fake news. The Supreme Court has taken no action on the Texas case.
