Then how the hell is Paxton still your AG?Texas people think honesty is the best policy, especially in National elections. I deem it worthy of being heard with a benevolent ear for probity and justice for all.This nit pick, it’s just wrong. The court ruled there was no standing by Texas because they could not claim they were injured by these other states.Just a little nitpick ... SCOTUS only rejected immediate relief in the TX lawsuit ... the case can still be filed but will have to be docketed in the order it was received ... it was ruled that since TX can only file at SCOTUS, SCOTUS must let them file it ...
From the ruling:
The State of Texas’s 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.Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. See Arizona v. California, 589 U. S. ___ (Feb. 24, 2020) (Thomas, J., dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.
I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.
This means TX can file the complaint ... see where it says "grant the motion to file" ... that means TX can file ... "looks like" it would be dismissed under the standing argument ... but that remains to be seen ...
