Johnnyessence: The one filed by TX AG who has been indicted on three federal security fraud cases is more ridiculous than this one and will be tossed. One state in the US does not have standing in suing another state and questioning how they conductor their elections. PA Supreme Court is the Apex court in the land to interpret PA state law and they said no violation occurred period! Moreso Paxton is using US constitutional provisions meant for US House and Senate in his filing before SCOTUS. Plus, Paxton is alleging that the four swing States votes should be overturned and invalidated because officials other than those State lawmakers make changes to their election laws because of COVID.....but the idiot left out the fact that TX is also guilty of the same offense because the Governor of TX extended voting hours, extended ballot return days and not TX law makers. Also, Paxton did not file any case, he is asking SCOTUS for a leave to file his case and they will summarily tell him NO SIR YOU CAN’T file this crap here. Paxton is filing is merely an audition to Trump to get a federal pardon for his three indictments. The guy is a lawyer, and know very well that each US State is a federating unit and no other state can come in and tell them how to run things or how to elect their presidential electors. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Johnnyessence: SCOTUS kor, SCROTUM ni. You guys can edit, analyse, dissect, formulate theories as long as you want. Bring out documentaries, no wahala. Come 20th January, 12 noon. If Trump does not leave the White house he will be bundled out!. He is a bad looser! He is now challenging the same system that put him there in the first place cos it did not go on his favor. As far as I am concerned, he has done what God wanted him to do in his first term. 3 Likes |

victorjoe:trump will be swear in in January 20, 2021, and you will be ashamed of your self. SUPREME COURT PUTS TEXAS CASE ONTO ITS DOCKET AS ELECTION DEADLINES APPROACH by Kevin Ryan Multiple states have begun issuing statements of support for the lawsuit filed by Texas that seeks to stop electors from being appointed in four states. The lawsuit — filed directly with the U.S. Supreme Court — alleges that election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin violated the Constitution, tainting the integrity of votes in those states and debasing votes in states that did not violate the Constitution. Realizing that several deadlines are approaching for states to commit electors, Texas says that the court has the power to delay such dates, and “the only date that is mandated under the Constitution is January 20, 2021,” referring to inauguration day. The lawsuit contends that the defendants: • Violated the Electors Clause by improperly changing their voting procedures through judicial or executive action, NOT through legislation. • Violated the Equal Protection Clause by effectively allowing different election rules and procedures in different counties within the states. According to the lawsuit: “Certain officials in the Defendant States presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting. The Defendant States flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted. “Whether well intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect—they made the 2020 election less secure in the Defendant States. Those changes are inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non- legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution. “By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.” Texas is asking the Supreme Court for an injunction to halt the appointment of electors, and to allow the results to be reviewed by state legislators, who under the Constitution have the power to appoint electors themselves. Republicans control all four state legislatures. The court “can delay the [December 14] deadline for the appointment of presidential electors… The only date that is mandated under the Constitution is January 20, 2021,” the Texas lawsuit says. The attorneys-general of Arkansas, Alabama, and Louisiana have issued statements of support for Texas case today. The Supreme Court has placed the motion on the docket, but has yet to adjudicate.

nelsonoba: The case is tossed, stopping the certification was the relief been sort, hence Justice Alito moved the time PA have to response from Wednesday to Tuesday 9am...because Wednesday 8th is the safe habit date. Any State that certifies her election by the safe harbor date is guaranteed by federal laws to be considered as true and authentic, no questions asked....PA, GA, WI, AZ, etc have all certified their elections, so you can take it to the bank no lawsuit or dispute can undo them period! On Monday next week Electors will meeting at each state capital in US to cast their electoral college vote for Biden, all these court cases are just side shows and are still ‘on going’ for Trump to keep getting donations. 4 Likes |

Johnnyessence: Yes, it was the same way SCOTUS issued a deadline to PA to response by Tuesday by 9:00am to the GOP case and by the end of business the same date, the case was tossed. The GOP case in PA even have standing and merit than another TX trying to argue that they have some type of say on how elections is Governored in another federating State. Stay turned, the TX case will be tossed max on Friday and on Monday state electors will officially vote elect Biden. Though after SCOTUS tossed the case on Friday, over the weekend expect Trump to start tweeting that state electors should vote for him....na! they will not and after they elect Biden on Monday...Trump will take his cries to Congress and state tweeting that, they should toss electors votes....but congress hand is tied because of the safe harbor laws, even Mike Pence who is Trump personal person and who will chair the joint session of Congress to tabulate the state electors would even be able to help him just like the 6 conservative Supreme Court judges are not able. All these are all a ploy to keep getting donation and for Paxton the AG of TX to get noticed by Trump par adventure he can get his name into the last minute pardon list against his federal security fraud cases....it is all a shell game, you are been taken for a sucker. 4 Likes 1 Share |

What you are hearing is PA Supreme Court. The case was not totally dismissed! The emergency injunctive relief was.... Just twelve hours after it was filed, the US Supreme Court has officially put Texas's lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on the docket, meaning the case will be heard. This PA case was denied because much of what was in it was also in the larger case that Texas and 10+ other states filed. So instead of wasting time on the smaller case the larger case will be heard. The case was put on the Docket at the United States Supreme Court, where Texas will sue a number of states for conducting "Constitutionality Unlawful Elections", and corrupting a Federal Election. Again, they are not going to rule on the injunction. The case is still pending. In a nut shell, Texas and other states have suits filed against the five problem states. We are better then good. All these cases are meant to keep YOU, the voters in a state of confusion. Look at the bigger picture, we want a bigger and bolder case, Using entire states holds up better ...And ten other states are joining Texas. The fraud in PA MI WI AZ affects ALL US citizens. And to clear the air... We do not want Martial law. If anything, ..insurrection act needs to come forth first! And.... Thank God that Ted Cruz is in this fight helping President Trump and his TEAM. Rudy will be back soon. Ladies and gentlemen relax, get the popcorn ready, and get your favorite drinks lined up. You will see the art of the deal by our President and his team, Sidney Powell and Texas. At their best fighting for the American people. |

Johnnyessence: The PA case was also put in the docket, go look it up. TX and the other states have no case, it will be tossed, bookmark this post and come on Friday. SCOTUS is bound by the constitution and status of the US. They don’t make laws at the SCOTUS, they only interpret them. Anyone can file papers at the SCOTUS asking them to command rain to come out of desert and that honey should start falling from the skies. Safe harbor date is governor by the Electoral Count Act of 1887, go look it up, you might learn a thing or two. That date have passed, it was December 8th. US status 3 USC 7 states: “The electors of President and Vice President of each State shall meet and give their votes on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December next following their appointment at such place in each State as the legislature of such State shall direct.” That date is December 14th, SCOTUS does not have the power to change it, it is the law...they will interpret the law and tell you the law...but you can ask them to change it, they can’t...it is the job of Congress to make and change laws and not SCOTUS’. 2 Likes |
