'I'm no lawyer, but I suspect the Supreme Court swats this away,' Sasse said in a statement, given to The Washington Examiner. 'From the brief, it looks like fella begging for a pardon filed a PR stunt rather than a lawsuit - as all of its assertions have already been rejected by federal courts and Texas' own solicitor general isn't signing on.'

Paxton is under criminal investigation by the FBI over claims that he abused the powers of his office to aid a wealthy donor.

Every time I see a RINO slug like Sasse inexplicably undermine Donald Trump, I automatically assume that they’re scared of being exposed as a criminal.

Need to make a list of all the elected officials who oppose this. They are the ones that need to be thoroughly investigated.

This RINO @sshole is an excellent example of when Trump is gone, I’m finished with the GOP.

Republicans stabbing Trump in the back is disgusting.

Trump made the Republican Party relevant.

So true. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they be all in for fair elections?

False accusations filed just before the election Nov 17, 2020. This isn't a coincidence

I know a lot of bad words, but all of them put together aren’t enough to describe this guy.

Obviously not a lawyer. Neither am I but if the Court rules on the merits of the law it’s a slam dunk. The only reason the court rejected similar arguments before the election was Judas Roberts was not yet outnumbered.
