What's the end game?

2020-12-08 21:49:13 UTC  

And yes a proven track record of junk?

2020-12-08 21:49:17 UTC  

What about state attorney generals?

2020-12-08 21:50:24 UTC  

Normally with no political ax to grind or gain, no.

2020-12-08 21:51:15 UTC  

We have the former in the latter

2020-12-08 21:51:27 UTC  

Hey yall what's the deal with TX suing PA and like I forgot, WI and like 5 other states ❓

2020-12-08 21:51:44 UTC  

The latter for sure.

2020-12-08 21:52:01 UTC  

anyhow just thought I'd ask, enjoying yalls convo

2020-12-08 21:53:49 UTC  

Apparently electorate desires are moving the needle, too bad it doesn't happen typically.

2020-12-08 21:54:30 UTC  

They argue the potential for fraud undermines the constitution and the will of their voters, and that the allegations should be investigated before the election moves forward, because the will of their voters are undermined by fraud in the system.

colloquialisms are strong with @skeeterburke.

2020-12-08 21:55:28 UTC  

It may be theater, of sorts... If the plan is to challenge the electors sent from these states in January in order to prevent Biden from reaching 270, this is potentially part of making that case. They will petition the US SC to invalidate those election results, with little chance of success. Then, when January 7 rolls around, they will challenge the votes and point to being forced to do so because SCOTUS failed to act.

2020-12-08 21:56:58 UTC  

What's your prediction in terms of outcome?

2020-12-08 21:58:06 UTC  

The only end game I see is blowing up the party, the GOP

2020-12-08 22:00:13 UTC  

@TaLoN132 then why waste the time? That's my rebuttal to your predicted response.

2020-12-08 22:01:13 UTC  

I'm working on my fortune teller thing, perhaps I have way too much time on my hands.

2020-12-08 22:02:20 UTC  

Louisiana just joined Texas's lawsuit.

2020-12-08 22:03:08 UTC  

I think they will debate whether it is worth risking the EC to try. My guess is that not all Republican Senators will go along with stealing the election for Trump. If they try anyways and fail, that will give fuel to those that want to abolish the EC. They only need a few more states to sign onto the idea of dedicated their electors to the winner of the popular vote and we will have a de facto popular vote. The thought of possibly being beholden to the popular vote might prevent them from even trying. It will be interesting to see just how this plays out.

2020-12-08 22:03:58 UTC  

If they didn't want to weigh in on the PA case directly, I can't imagine they will want to do it this way.

2020-12-08 22:04:46 UTC  

@busillis did the SC accept the Texas Case?

2020-12-08 22:05:10 UTC  

That I don't know.

2020-12-08 22:05:28 UTC  

I need to go find a Starbucks.

2020-12-08 22:05:54 UTC  

I need to see a shrink!

2020-12-08 22:06:26 UTC  

I need a rusty trumpet.

2020-12-08 22:07:22 UTC  

Yes, they did

2020-12-08 22:07:57 UTC  

If this goes on much longer will all need to seek professional psychiatric help, if we didn't already. Paternalistically speaking of course.

2020-12-08 22:08:52 UTC  

@Cali La La I think they would have to if there is an Intervening Party now.

2020-12-08 22:11:09 UTC  

In a nutshell Texas claims the defendant States broke nuanced rules within their own State election law/regulation, and in turn broke federal law?

2020-12-08 22:11:09 UTC  

hi guys question WITCH SCOTUS court case was was it that that rejected as there are a few Pennsylvania cases before the supreme Court of the United atates

2020-12-08 22:11:29 UTC  

Basically yes

2020-12-08 22:11:55 UTC  

But they actually broke their own states laws...

2020-12-08 22:12:05 UTC  

If the high court rules against Pennsylvania it's all over for Mr Biden.

2020-12-08 22:12:32 UTC  

The Supreme Court rejected their claim

2020-12-08 22:12:55 UTC  

That doesn't bode well for Trump.

2020-12-08 22:14:01 UTC  

Nope NOT AT ALL. you are so so incorrect

2020-12-08 22:14:28 UTC  

the only us law that is in federal statute is jan 20th

2020-12-08 22:14:28 UTC  

Explain?

2020-12-08 22:14:38 UTC  

So, apparently Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and South Dakota have also joined with Texas....

2020-12-08 22:14:54 UTC  

Read that too. Sauce?

2020-12-08 22:15:08 UTC  

If they took the Texas Case it is a broader Issue and is dispositive of the Election outcome.
