The Supreme Court said on Friday that it would not hear a lawsuit by the state of Texas.
The order from the Supreme Court was brief and said simply that the plaintiff did not have standing to sue over the manner in which other states run their elections.
The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.
Justice Alito offered a separate statement, to which Justice Thomas agreed.
Thomas Johnson says
The largest turkey farm in the USA is on the grounds of the Texas state capitol. It is run by the 3 stooges Abbott,Patrick and the TxAG. Paxton wanted a get out of jail card from Trump, and thought this scheme would deliver the card. Too bad, the Court saw the weakness of the premises. Let us get behind the new President and stop this nonsense.

It’s America, Thomas, or at least it was when I went to bed last night, and in America, a president has to earn respect – he is not owed it.
So I’m not getting “behind” “Corn Pop” Biden, especially as he is the ******* ignorant A-HOLE who as a dim-witted senator allowed us to get sucked in to9 the quagmire of Iraqinam as we see from this excerpt from p. 86 of “FIASCO – The American Military Adventure in Iraq” by Thomas E. Ricks, entitled THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, to wit:
January-March 2003
In previous wars, Congress had been populated by hawks and doves.
But as war in Iraq loomed it seemed to consist mainly of lambs who hardly made a peep.
In the months of the run-up to war, Congress asked very few questions, and didn’t offer any challenge to the administration on the lack of postwar planning.
Congress takes no for an answer
The last chance was offered by hearings on Iraq held in February 2003, but this was not an opportunity Congress would take.
It had made its choice the previous October when it gave the president a blank check to go to war.
As a body it was willing to ask questions, but that was little more than a pose, because it didn’t object when it didn’t get responses that spoke to the issue.
It was a Congress that would take no, or something close to it, for an answer.
Douglas Feith’s appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at its major prewar hearing on Iraq was a memorable demonstration of testimony as tap dancing.
He couldn’t say how many troops might be required, or what a war might cost, or even what other countries might join the U.S.-led effort.
“Senator, it’s hard to answer a lot of these what-ifs because a lot depends on, you know, future events that we don’t know,” Feith told Sen. Joseph Biden, the Delaware Democrat who was the ranking minority member on the panel.
“There are enormous uncertainties.”
As for the key question of the duration of the occupation, Feith deferred answering.
“I don’t think I want to venture into the prediction business,” he parried.
“The American people have no notion of what we are about to undertake,” Biden concluded that day.
It was an important observation about a democracy about to launch a war in a distant land, alien culture, and hostile region.
But it was made in a tone of passive resignation.

There is your president “Corn Pop” in action, so if you want to get behind a ******* moron, be my guest, but don’t expect to see anybody who can think for themselves getting in line with you as you lend your support to a two-time loser twice rejected by the American people as presidential material because he is a ******* moron.

Well, until now I always thought it was cool that justice was blind. Apparently I now have to realize it isn’t blind, but can choose to be at times if it prejudges and wishes to be ignorant. If any of us wishes to look at some media outlets, we saw and heard of many obvious activities with regards to the national election that absolutely raise a lot of questions as to fairness and legality. Obviously judges can choose to allow or not allow evidence in cases to help them decide an outcome. I have no idea why SCOTUS would not want to turn over every rock to make sure this was done properly. They don’t see the importance of a proper and truly legal presidential election ? Improper oversight in several locations and untraceable votes shouldn’t be questioned in something as important as a presidential election ? Yeah Yeah Yeah I know that was not the question in this article before SCOTUS. I don’t understand why they didn’t allow this to be looked at in any of this pleadings. I don’t see how anyone can think SCOTUS looked at this. Instant replay isn’t allowed ? I think they LOOKED AT nothing. The beginning of an investigation could have led to a larger finding that we will now never know about and total inaction by SCOTUS leaves so many of us seriously believing this just ain’t right. Sure, it’s time to get behind the new president, but is this right ? Esp. when the press is NOW allowing discussion/exposure of Biden/China dealings ? NOW tech media is going to be judged as to their election influence ? Not before ? What a mess. It’s already starting to look like Kamala will be sworn into Joe’s job by 6/2020. The powers that be are allowed to hate a sitting president so much that they can send the legal voting process flying off the rails and taint the results ? Sad times…….
