What's this?

no no. thats not what that means

if it was docket, it just means they met procedural requirements and scotus will decide to take the case or not

doesnt mean they will take the case

a win for texas lawsuit means scotus take the case on first instance (very rare and unlikely) or set a master judge to decide on the case (possibly)

the key is looking through old court cases to see if the lawsuit can be vindicated through old court cases that were already settled (i believe there have been)

and scotus will probably just use those old court cases as the remedy

I believe there is precedent

But idk what it is

And because they'll have original jurisdiction they can introduce new evidence

scotus is an appeal court

election laws are state related, they usually dont like taking up cases that are state related and will likely push it back down

or find another remedy to avoid without an actual appeal first

if scotus does take on the case as first instance, that'll be the first. and a lot of these left wing media will start saying they overthrew the election

actually i need to stop, i dont know a lot, so anything can happen

lets hope texas win, but its a long shotr

I'm not very optimistic either, but I keep a sliver of hope in me

Scotus almost always works in an appellate jurisdiction

This is@not an appellate situation

Again, it's an original jurisdiction

And state vs Tate in a federal election manner changes the state relationship bit

The jurisdiction part should clear it up

im not arguing if they have original jurisdiction or not, they do

I'm not arguing either

it goes to the SCOTUS without an appeal

but what im saying is

SCOTUS, hardly, if ever, accepts a first instance trial

you will never find in SCOTUS some sort of first instance trial on evidence, etc...

Most aren't state v state

This is the rate instance

Rare

The second link is super in depth

ill check it out

```In the late twentieth century, the Supreme Court further limited its original docket by declaring that it would exercise discretion over whether to hear cases even if they were legitimately within the Court's jurisdiction. In a series of cases in 1971, including Ohio v. Wyandotte Chemicals Corp ., the Court declined to hear environmental pollution claims brought by states against corporations that dealt with complex and technical factual questions. The justices ruled that the states had other available forums to bring their claims and that the cases were not "appropriate" for the Court in light of its primary function as the nation's highest appellate tribunal. The Court resolved to examine the "seriousness and dignity" of claims so as to preserve its resources for consideration of appeals involving federal questions. The Supreme Court soon expanded its appropriateness doctrine to decline to hear some cases between two states, even where the Court's jurisdiction was exclusive.```

they dont need to take it

they can send it right back down to the lower courts

even if it involves 2 states

The exception to that is sTate v tate
