They are still cowards. They knew what the job entailed when they took it.
If the Supreme Court can’t step in for voter fraud because it’s a state issue. Then they can’t stop a state from seceding. Something to keep in mind.
The first three boxes have failed. There is one box left.
I think it runs more towards “A state legislature can certify its election, no matter how corrupt, or how much they violate their own laws, if their state courts will allow it.”
Yup.
We have a right to petition the government for a redress of our grievances.
You have that right, I have that right, and the legislature of Texas has that right.
DC needs to be shut down. It is unaccountable. It is totally corrupt. It abuses and misuses $4 Trillion, we the tax payer provides it.
In so many words, that is the sentiment of the GOP Speaker of the MI House.
BLM, the Democrats’ SA, their Sturmabteilung street thug Brownshirts, means business.
I would go so far as to call the SCOTUS rejection of the lawsuit a dereliction of duty. But that’s just me.
It is outright treason. But lawyers are good at wiggling around right and wrong because they do not, it seems, recognize those concepts. Oh well, there will only be hundreds of millions suffering for their stupidity. Do they care? Of course not, they’re lawyers and they got paid.
Even if it isn’t, it’s close enough for me. The inaction of SCOTUS could have disastrous consequences. Even if it didn’t overturn the results of this election, the court could have laid down the law for future elections. As it stands now, millions have little or no confidence in the integrity of our elections.
Texas et al should have sued every state in the union that changed election rules without legislative oversight or mishandled ballots, or shut out observers etc. etc. . What Texas basically did was precisely what Al Gore tried to do : Challenge the results in states of their choosing— where they “should have” won. Al Gore only wanted to hand count (scrutinize) votes in selected “democrat” counties. That was where equal protection came into play (along with voter intent divination etc) . States like North Carolina, California, New York et al should have been sued as well.By not also going after states where trump won (e.g. NC) or had no chance of winning (CA and NY) they were effectively pulling the same cynical cherry picking move Al Gore pulled. Equal protection goes both ways.
“...BLM, the Democrats’ SA, their Sturmabteilung street thug Brownshirts, means business.....”
Then, arm up the Proud Boys to the teeth and let em do what needs to be done because it’s pretty apparent no one else will.
They cannot just get up some morning and decide to do all of that. It first must be brought to their attention via a law suit and then your laundry list made law as remedy to the law suit.
This could have been done with the Texas. They were too chickenshit to do so then, what makes you think they would do it in the future?
SCOTUS fallen, is fallen.
SCOTUS denies states the only legal remedy they have for interstate issues; original jurisdiction is SCOTUS, as required by USConstitution. There is virtually no lawful law left in the District of Crime.
“This could have been done with the Texas.”
“However, should you rule against the Left then all hell will break loose, cities will burn, many will die, your family will not be safe from the mob, the news media will constantly accuse you of selling out the country and there will be no safe place you and your family to go to.”
Expect the same thing next year when the four Minneapolis police officers go on trial for the “murder” of George Floyd.
Any juror (or jurors) who vote for acquittal will have to go into hiding. Their privacy will be breached by some court employee who “slipped up” and released the names of the jurors. They will almost quite literally be walking around with a crosshair on their back.
For that reason, no juror will do the right thing and vote for acquittal. Their desire for self-preservation as well as the safety of their family will over-ride doing the right thing.
The courts, at every level, have learned that there’s an easy way out of any case they don’t want to have to decide.....standing
Just say that the plaintiff has no standing and, poof, they’re gone.
How the people of Texas and the other 7 states that joined them have no standing is beyond me.
But then again, there’s the federal judge in Michigan that wouldn’t let people whose identities were stolen to vote absentee, testify in her courtroom.
So f*cking sad watching all of this go on and seeing them get away with it.
........the US, starting with Washington, has a long history of executing soldiers if they fail to do their “duty” in the face of the enemy. 49 death sentences issued in WWII alone but only one was carried out. Over 500 death sentences were carried out in the Union Army and Confederate Army. About 2/3 were for desertion.
In my view, if any of the 7 justices voted the way they did because they were scared, then, like the referenced soldiers, they failed to do their “duty”.
In addition to executing soldiers for failure to their duty, hundreds were flogged up to 100 lashes during the Revolutionary War.
