Audacious, huh.
Gotta love the straightforward reporting here!

well, audacity has been a good thing since 2008, right? "The audacity of hope", anyone recall that?
So? What's the problem here?

“Legal experts called the suit outlandish”
Yes, SOME legal experts called it outlandish, and even said it would be blown off, but THOSE experts were wrong!

You beat me to it. If Ted Cruz argues this and wins, he is the presumptive 2024 GOP nominee once Trump finishes his second term.

Very few of the lawsuits Trump’s legal team filed since Election Day have really worried the left,
but when Texas AG Ken Paxton filed directly with the USSC Monday, lefties immediately began freaking out.
They are alarmed because even they understand that Paxton’s suit has the potential to flip the election.
Not having President Trump being the aggrieved party, only the states who followed their laws, is a genius move.
Texas is even disregarding the obvious fraud in the early results there in this case.
Equal protection without accoutrements is the way to go. (h/t Ingtar)

The headline was positive, while the rest of the article went straight to the standard Slimes name-calling and finger-pointing.
It is almost as though the headline writer was different than the article writer...

This article pulls out all the stops, doesn’t it. Frames the suit as audacious to immediately signal “bad.” Legal “experts” to claim that the suit is trash. A smear of the Texas AG. And that’s all in one paragraph. The oft-quoted Goebbles was a piker compared to the NYT.

Ted Cruz sees this fight over the integrity of the 2020 election as a way to reintroduce himself as a defender of fair and free elections. If Trump is reelected, Cruz will be formidable in the 2024 primaries.

“Audacious”
Ok, but what’s missing here, in this article? Nothing about “Without Evidence” or whatever else they keep saying.
Tells me that they’re scared Shiiteless of this suit.

The Texas case is really a simple question: Did the defendant states follow laws passed by the legislature and were those laws constitutional on state and federal grounds.
The facts should be black and white, yes or no.
The big question is remedy.

No doubt the same ones who were jumping with glee over Trump/Russia collusion allegations/investigations/etc.

Ever notice that the corrupt MSM never actually investigates any reports of election fraud? Instead, the corrupt MSM spends all of their resources simply telling everyone over and over how there was no fraud. Never any investigative journalism, just story after story of circling the wagons around their political brethren. Not one iota of independent investigation or any effort to attempt to uncover facts, or report facts, just one baseless opinion piece after another of ad homonym attacks against anyone providing affidavits, videos, and all other manner of evidence.

[If Trump is reelected, Cruz will be formidable in the 2024 primaries.]
He was formidable in 2016, finishing a respectable #2 to Trump, with everyone else at also-ran status, including Kasich, who hung it there despite being almost dead last. If he wins it for Trump at USSC, he will be unbeatable in 2024.
