Texas GOP releases statement on SCOTUS decision

This decision establishes a precedent that says states can violate the US constitution and not be held accountable.

The US Constitution has no provisions for how states run an election.

The Elections Clause is the primary source of constitutional authority to regulate elections for the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate. The Clause directs and empowers states to determine the “Times, Places, and Manner” of congressional elections, subject to Congress’s authority to “make or alter” state regulations. It grants each level of government the authority to enact a complete code for such elections, including rules concerning public notices, voter registration, voter protection, fraud prevention, vote counting, and determination of election results. Whenever a state enacts a law relating to a congressional election, it is exercising power under the Elections Clause; states do not have any inherent authority to enact such measures.

I never was able to complete my law degree and I take great offence to the state AG who is ignorant of just how the Constitution works along with state control of elections....


that is not what the ruling was about. they ruled that Texas and the other states did not have standing to bring the suit. look up lack of standing, you might learn something and stop posting like an idiot.

Yeah, about 100 posters here told the cult that TX didn’t have standing. But the poorly educated cultists really thought TX could win. The ruling was effectively 9-0 as Thomas and Alito said there were no remedies.

It was all Kabuki Theater. But cults gonna cult.


like your fellow libs, you also do not understand what lack of standing means in a court of american law. It is not the final straw. It is certainly a set back, but not the end of the fight. It may be that the only workable remedy is secession or breaking up the country into conservative and liberal separate countries. None of us want that, but with the country so divided philosophically it may be the only solution. If we cannot live together, lets live separately. Then we can see which system actually works.
Does yer Rascal hovers round have enough battery power to propel you into the front lines of another civil war?


I don't have whatever that is, but I have several guns and thousands of rounds of ammo. We would also have the police and the military and you would have the trannys who don't know which bathroom to use. it would be a very short war. A peaceful secession or division would be much better for everyone and would allow each side to live under its own ideology. We would take constitutional freedom and you can have socialist domination. Ready?

The problem is that the military are not with Trump, and neither is anyone else who swore to uphold the Constitution. The PEOPLE were never with Trump. He didn't win the popular vote the first time, and this time the PEOPLE made sure he didn't win the Electoral College or the popular vote.

He lost the military when he involved them in his walk across LaFayette Square, and gassing peaceful protestors. When he abandoned the Kurds. He lost the military when he didn't stand up for them against Russian bounties. When he called them suckers and losers.

And the longer that Trump tries to fight the will of the people, the less support he will have.


you are totally FOS. Did you happen to see the reception he got at the Army/Navy game yesterday? Trump has the military support, the police unions all support him, and all american patriots who own gums and ammo support him. So continue with your attempted coup, you will reap your reward eventually. The american people will only tolerate so much of this left wing socialist bullshit.

Trump was cheered at a public event where he is the Commander-In-Chief, and any booing or disrespect shown by a cadet would be punishable as a military offense? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

Why do you think that Trump carefully controls where he appears in public? Like his West Point commencement address? It's because everywhere that Trump has gone in public where he doesn't carefully control the audience, he is mocked, booed, and shouted down. Like his trip to the baseball game. Trump hides out in fortress White House, surrounded by barbed wire and riot fencing, so he doesn't have to hear the jeers of the PEOPLE outside.

Of course the police unions support him. These are the same unions which have allowed killer cops to stay on the payroll and on your streets. The cop who held his knee on George Floyd's neck had 17 complaints of "excessive force" and was involved in another shooting death of a suspect, and yet this murderer was still on the streets in black communities.

THE VOTERS REJECTED HIM. NOBODY IS CHEERING DONALD TRUMP EXCEPT HIS CULT.


Hmmm, guess you missed the thousands who attended his rallies all over the country. no boos or jeers from them, only cheers.

guess you also missed that Biden could not generate a crowd of more than 100 for any of his attempts at campaigning. so much easier to just hide in the basement and let the dominion machines do the work for him.

Trump got more actual legal votes than Biden, the evidence of cheating is clear. this is not over.
It is over and your lies will never stand in court.


so the hundreds of americans who signed affidavits under oath are all lying? How would such a thing be coordinated? many of them are democrats who actually care about fair and accurate elections. Please prove to us that they are all lying under oath.
Where are those affidavits right now? You were told there were affidavits did you ever see one that was notarized and had a docket number along with an ID number for evidence?

At their news conference Thursday, President Trump’s lawyers implored reporters to take their thus-far-baseless allegations of massive voter fraud more seriously. And in the course of doing so, they repeatedly referred to the hundreds of affidavits they had assembled as genuine evidence of fraud.

“It’s your job to read these things and not falsely report that there’s no evidence,” said Rudolph W. Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer.
“We have evidence that we will present to the court,” Trump campaign legal adviser Jenna Ellis said.
“These people are under penalty of perjury,” Giuliani assured again about the affidavits. “Their names are on an affidavit.”

But how much weight do these affidavits carry? And what is their true reliability?
The Trump campaign has repeatedly cited the hundreds of sworn affidavits it has assembled. It has even shown stacks of them to illustrate the supposed heft of its legal case. Many of them are not available because they haven’t been filed in actual lawsuits or made available publicly. (Giuliani cited the alleged targeting of their authors for keeping them obscured.)

But among the witnesses who have had their allegations aired in court, many have been dismissed by judges as inadmissible or not credible. One particularly high-profile one alleged many precincts in Michigan had more votes than actual voters, but shortly after Giuliani et al. raised the issue Thursday — alongside their pleas to take the affidavits seriously — it fell apart.

A key issue is whether the affidavit is filed in court, as most filed by the Trump team haven’t been. Beyond that, any false statements would need to be deemed to be “material” to the proceedings — i.e. relevant to the actual claims. And from there, any legal jeopardy would require that the statements made were knowingly false.


But you keep on repeating the same old lies and misinformation der fuhrer has planted in yer mind that is of no use to anyone but those that exploit it...
Affidavits existance ? Heck they showed up as witnesses attesting to their signed affidavits in light of their sworn testimony given at those hearings based on their affidavits.
Courts don't work on he said-she said testimony and what was presented failed to sway the judge or establish any proof beyond a doubt.

Oh so don't challenge the Democrat states no matter what they do eh ?? That's very un-American, and could lead to the break up of the state's into tiny small countries of their own or joining together to form several states into one culturally in tune country within the country, yet still remaining part of the overall by rules and regulations within reason that put forth by the federal government, but in doing so never allowing the state or small country created to be used as a social experiment conducted by the federal government upon them, in which would then threaten the very culture, cultural dynamic, and domestic security of the state/small country newly created.

AG Paxton (R-Twat Face) tried to invalidate my vote from 1400 miles away all b/c his political master lost. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania just kicked the State of Texas in their tits and told them to mind their own business.
If the voting was corrupt, then it needs to be invalidated. You being selfish about that speaks volumes
It wasn’t corrupt. President Trump’s sycophants and cucks had dozens of chances to prove it in courts all across the land and they failed miserably. Grow the fuck up and take your L like a man.
Spoken just like an upstanding citizen in our society (NOT), and sadly for your state or this nation you are allowed to vote at all.
Only people that agree with me should be allowed to vote. :lol:


Gent bent.
Gent bent ?? Nope only people casting votes legitimately and legally should be allowed to vote. That's not what happened in the general and you know it.
 
The defeats are piling up so fast—the Supreme Court summarily rejected two lawsuits inside of four days—and the judges’ rebukes have been so withering that many people outside the legal profession wonder why trained lawyers are being allowed to persist in this doomed effort to overturn the results of an election that has been described by the president’s own elections officials as the “most secure in American history.” Isn’t there some kind of rule against this?

There is. In federal court (where 11 of the cases have been brought) it’s called Rule 11. And courts have used it many times to discourage the very kinds of legally insufficient and bad faith claims that have been advanced by Rudy Giuliani and his so-called elite strike force of attorneys.

First, it helps to understand how unusual it is that the president’s cases are getting tossed so quickly. Generally, plaintiffs get the benefit of the doubt when they’re filing lawsuits. If they have some combination of factual support for their complaint and an existing law to apply, courts are inclined to let the cases proceed. But the Trump campaign and its Republican allies are falling far short of even these low thresholds on evidentiary and legal grounds. And this is why judges have been so quick to shut them down or refuse to even hear them, as happened this week twice at the Supreme Court.

Affidavits existance ? Heck they showed up as witnesses attesting to their signed affidavits in light of their sworn testimony given at those hearings based on their affidavits.

A similar thing happened in Chatham County, Ga., where the GOP called two witnesses as part of its allegation that 53 ballots received after Election Day were predated to make them appear valid. But under questioning, the witnesses acknowledged they didn’t know whether the ballots were actually received after the deadline, while witnesses for the local elections board testified under oath that they were received on time.
If the witnesses crack and are found not credible, then so be it. No one wants anything other than the truth. Period.

Hopefully the truth will be gotten to sooner and not later, but thank God the system also has checks and balances through the appeal's process in order to correct the possible over looking of the facts depending on how they are being presented.
 
Gent bent ?? Nope only people casting votes legitimately and legally should be allowed to vote. That's not what happened in the general and you know it.

If you only you had numerous chances in court (presided by jurists appointed by Republicans and Democrats) to hear your evidence. If only...


It's one thing to present your case to favorable media outlets and press conferences next to dildo stores, but it's a whole different fox hunt to present it in a court of law. Ya'll did and failed in spectacular fashion. I suggest next time you bring evidence to court and instead of your feels.
 
"But wait till we get to the Supreme Court!"

Ya know because you figure since Trump nominated those Justices that they owe him right?

But that's not necessarily how it works.

Yea they pulled a political decision in 2000. But that was for a relatively mainstream Republican. Trump is not that.

So what does Trump do now that he's not President anymore?

Next to dildo stores eh ? You got some strange stuff going on in your head, but then again you are a Democrat. How about leaving your dildo fantasies out of a political discussion, and talk like a normal person if you are capable of it. No one is interested in your trash talk, but then you want someone to take you seriously. Pfft.

Keep fighting the left for attempting to destroy him and his family when all he wanted to do was help the nation get it's economy and job's situation straightened back out again. The lies and fear mongering led by Obama and his corrupt administration won't be left unchallenged by the Trump family. Obama was so confidant in a Trump failure, that he stupidly said "what's he going to do, use his magic wand to create the job's"? Well Trump sure proved him an idiot for saying that didn't he ??? Trump won't rest until these evil human beings pay for what they attempted to do to him and his family.
