Or show injury
@William Dinan good discussion ... won't argue that manner in which SCOTUS denied the relief was the best, just that makes sense given the circumstances
Cause of Action and Standing is Different. Research.
Thank you most honorable Chairman.
ability of a party to demonstrate to the court sufficient connection to and harm from the law or action challenged to support that party's participation in the case. @William Dinan Texas did not meet this bar
I'm talking about Process, not Outcomes.
Pennsylvania did not injure Texas
Barnes is a hack that works for the Trump campaign
agreed and I think Thomas and Alito would have preferred a different process but the outcome would have been the same
Equal Protection on the Selection of Electors.
That’s in state. @William Dinan
A state issue
I'm not sure.
They literally said they would not grant the remedy they ask @William Dinan
fair but absent an injunction the electors are voting today
Electors Clause is a US Constitutional Issue.
Voting in the State Yes.
So many ways to steal.
Finally someone enters the sphere of US political life with a proven track record for making things happen at scale.
Every thinking person and party loyalist should not rest until there is a Little Red Book in The possession of all the citizenry of The People's Republic of Lemon'ey Fresh.
They were appealing to how the state conducted their election and the rules they set out for the election. They have no standing for that @William Dinan
more massive and detailed no evidence
I have said all along this should have been an Electors Clause Issue not an Election one.
which if you read between the lines is different that saying it is purely a state issue at least as far as Thomas and Alito are concerned ... seems the other Justices lumped not granting remedy into standing
@William Dinan well that is what the appealed to and correctly lost on standing
Reading between the lines does not established Law.
Standing is Bullshit made up by Lazy Judges IMO.
^ this
@meglide if I remember there is a interpretation that makes it a a legal requirement to listen to Texas
@William Dinan how
Just saying it as Barnes did does not make it so @William Dinan
maybe reading the lines that Thomas and Alito wrote may be a better way of saying it ... but yeah this dismissal sets no precedence which may not be a good thing
When and how was the Legal Principle of Standing Established?
the states share a contract, the constitution, if Texas doesn't have "standing" to challenge another party to that contract (another state) nobody does
They were Vague for a Reason.
You tell me. Under the definition currently given Texas did not have standing (something that has existed for a 100 years) @William Dinan
thus the second paragraph in the order
@Phil they can tell an other stage how to run a election or interpret its laws. The constitution gives the state the right to run their own election.
And I can say only 100 Years. The Electors Clause was around long before that.
@William Dinan again they appealed to the state process and the states laws , something they don’t have legal standing to
