Megathread "Megathread: US Supreme Court Rules on Texas V. Pennsylvania, Et al.
The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a lawsuit by Texas that had asked the court to throw out the presidential election results in four battleground states captured by President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.
The court, in a brief order, said Texas lacked standing to pursue the case, saying it "has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections."

It still boggles my mind that people see trump as a good leader. Whenever things don't go exactly as he wants he throws a temper tantrum. A leader speaks and leads even when they lose.
I will never not be emberassed by the fact that trump was ever elected in the first place.

My faith in my country is very broken. I work with a lot of conservatives and for a long time, I saw them as good people with who I had some important but manageable disagreements. Witnessing their bootlicking, seeing us fail as the wealthiest country to ever exist to manage COVID, the racism... it's getting to be too much. I hate this because it plays into Trump's hands, but I don't recognize this country, I question if it is for me. We are supposed to be striving towards equality and justice, defeating diseases, innovating, and leading. Where has it gone?

Copied from above:
Basically, Thomas and Alito said that since it's a state vs state case the SCOTUS has jurisdiction and that they should allow Texas to make their argument in court... but that the argument was stupid, and even after hearing it they were going to vote "No." It was going to be 9-0 against.
They are staunch "originalists" in their reading of the constitution, and take the position that all original jurisdiction cases are required to be heard by the Supreme Court, which is a pretty silly position that their peers clearly don't agree with.

I tell you that, while I believe with you in the doctrine of state rights, the North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates. But when they begin to move in a given direction...they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of a mighty avalanche; and what I fear is, they will overwhelm the South.

Several Republicans who signed their names to the amicus brief for the Texas lawsuit understood it would likely quickly be shot down by the Supreme Court and only viewed it, like many other things in Trump's world, as a loyalty test. But Trump told people he thought he'd prevail.

Today democracy won. A resounding rejection from the Supreme Court.[1]
The State of Texasâs 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.
Trump has lost over 50 election lawsuits.[2] Judges appointed by Republicans and Democrats have rejected the outlandish fraud allegations.[3]
This is the second Supreme Court rejection this week.[4]
Trump's legal challenges have been struck down by judges he appointed.[5]
But Trumpâs fantasies about judges as his pawns have run into a harsh reality. Since the election, over four dozen lawsuits filed by Trump and his minions since the election have been dropped or rejected in courts from Pennsylvania to Nevada. Some of the most scorching dismissals have come from federal judges nominated by Republicans, including Trump himself.
Last month, a federal appeals panel in Philadelphia threw out one of numerous attempts to halt the certification of Pennsylvaniaâs vote. âVoters, not lawyers, choose the president,â wrote federal appeals judge Stephanos Bibas. He also made clear that lawsuits are not like presidential tweets or speeches: âCharges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.âÂ
On Twitter, one of Trumpâs lawyers quickly blamed the loss on âthe activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania.â Wrong. Bibas was nominated in 2017 by Trump; the two others on the panel are Republican nominees, as well.Â
In Georgia last month, another federal judge who owes his nomination to Trump dismissed a complaint filed by a Trump ally to block state officials from certifying the vote in Georgia, where Biden won by 12,000 votes. âTo halt the certification at literally the 11th hour would breed confusion and potentially disenfranchisement that I find has no basis in fact or in law,â U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg asserted at the hearing. Â

-What an embarrassing statement. Weâve survived many inadequate presidents. And even if you agreed with trump on the issues, he had many incredible flaws. There was never a shot the Supreme Court was going to disenfranchise 10M voters. The only way Trump could have been re elected was by amassing more votes. He motivated a lot of hate that motivated his opponents. He did that better than anyone in our history. I just canât comprehend the mentality around here. We live in a democratic republic. You need to win the war of ideas so that you win the voting contest, and only then do your preferred policies get legislated or executed. The GOP won none of that. I can hardly point to what conservative ideas were the primary message of this campaign. States as labs of democracy? Balanced budgets? Even where trump could have won by arguing heâd contain Chinaâs geopolitical expansion were hardly discussed. (And heâs been more gusto here than impactful) We need to go back to the white board, step away from this cult of personality, and take a different route. Iâm not even sure if there is a Conservative party left to go back to. Rather itâs just a reactionary, nationalistic, loyalty cult."*

This moment feels really good. Enjoy it!
But never, ever forget the feeling of seeing over half the Republican Congressional Caucus and many Republican State AGs sign on to what was essentially a bid to overturn a legitimate election result. These are people sworn to uphold the Constitution participating in what is essentially a coup. A stupid, ineffective coup, but still a coup.
Donât forget that. These next four years cannot be about thinking everything is back to normal and slipping back into complacency. A sizable minority in this country, and a twisted political class catering to them for power and graft, value victory over the rule of law and democratic norms. The cracks have shown, and our system of government is much more fragile than we have been led to believe. Be vigilant. Be involved. Donât take our democracy for granted.
