He's the best at losing! Nobody loses as much or as big as him! They all lose at losing!Supreme Court Shuts Door On Texas Suit Seeking To Overturn Election
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued four states that Joe Biden won, claiming their changes to election procedures during the pandemic violated federal law.
The Supreme Court just dismissed Paxton's suit. So Trump lost again. He's a loser. He lost. Bigly. Nobody likes that guy.
This is bigger then that. The 14th Amendment makes it so those who take part in any insurrection or rebellion can not be seated in any government agency. Attempting to overthrown a legal election can be seen as insurrection, so those that sign on could be barred from swearing in. Will it happen? I don't think it's likely, but it's what a lot of people are calling for now for the 100+ representatives that signed in support of the Texas lawsuit.
Little fact, but Alito and Thomas were the two dissents, as I assumed they would be. Even then, the dissent says they would never have granted relief on what Texas was asking for, and they are only dissenting because they believe they should have at least took on the case rather then dismissing it. All the other justices, including all three of Trump's appointees, didn't agree.
(That's Old Man Fred Trump. The one who damaged orange boi so bigly.)
When 80,000 American voters are more important than 7,000,000 American voters...
The news outlets went over all the stuff Texas would lose if they seceded the *last* time they pulled this stunt back when Obama was elected.
Yanno, I really want to tell Rep. Biggs "Well, obviously it was fraudulent, you're still going to Washington."

These have already been drawn up. Trump can send anyone he wants. If they're not on the list, they can't legally vote.
I don’t think that matters. All he needs are headlines saying his electors were denied the ability to vote. None of what he’s done has had any chance of working, but he does it anyways.Could GOP states ignore voters and send Trump delegates to the Electoral College?
It's unlikely. Here's how the byzantine body really works.

I know, and it's bound to fail since they can only accept the slates signed by the governor and the SoS, but you know they are going to do it anyways to gum up the system and make it so they can blame the "deep state" for kicking the "rightful electors" out of the vote. The grift goes on.
I can't find anything about that. I did find a Democrat woman who was stripped of all of her committees by GOP leaders for "threatening" Trump backers who are, you know, threatening her.
I could certainly see him try something like that - hold a ceremony of his own on Jan. 20th in DC, form a new administration, and claim it's the only legitimate one.
Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona have voted. Any sort of weird sudden defecting electors from other swing states wouldn't change the outcome anymore - only a sudden REALLY blue state like California presenting Trump voters would now stop the process. Good.Yup...as long as he keeps his stupid redneck base fired up and sending him money, that's really all he cares about.
btw, you can track the electoral college votes at cnn as they come in today.

The outcome of the presidential election has been clear for weeks, but on Monday it gets one step closer to being official as the Electoral College meets.
Michigan Rep. Gary Eisen made cryptic comments Monday about Republicans possibly trying a "Hail Mary" to intervene in the afternoon votes of the state's presidential electors and wouldn't promise a radio host that the day would be safe. (Detroit News)
