For those dreading, or hoping, that a conservative 6-3 Supreme Court with three appointees of Donald Trump will overturn the results of the election and deem him to be re-elected: there is absolutely no chance of that happening, whatsoever. None.
SCOTUSblog glowing with lolcow effervescence.


A brief essay explaining why @Mike_Pence is, arguably, the most powerful man in America right now.

Who Counts the Votes of the Presidential Electors?​

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."

The quote is ascribed to Joseph Stalin, although there’s little evidence that he actually said it. Nevertheless, it resonates as true. Certainly America stands in crisis now because of disagreements about the count of the popular vote.

But the President of the United States isn’t actually elected by the popular vote. He’s elected by the college of presidential electors. As I noted in a previous article, one of the most important questions in this crisis is whether the state legislatures can appoint presidential electors to cast their votes in opposition to the popular vote.

But there is another question: Who counts the votes cast by the presidential electors? If “those who count the votes decide everything,” as Stalin said, then this is the most important question in American history.

so again, just to be clear, since no ones talking about this, there was a solar eclipse wherein a (black) dark sun passed over the entire US in 2017, its happening again in 2024, their paths overlaid make an X over the US, the midpoint between those 2 events is dec 13th 2020, and

MI Secretary Of State: 2020 Election Was ‘As Secure As It’s Ever Been’

>Michigan
>State containing the city of Detroit
>Another Secretary of State talking about the election
>Says it's "As secure as it's every been."


Smell that? The gas is lit! They're so lucky the GOP majority there is cucked as well.
I was going to call her a lying piece of shit but then I realised she's probably telling the truth. 'As secure as it's ever been' is an interesting choice of words

Tell them to keep up with the plot. SCOTUS ain't crowing a kang. The argument being presented is that "the election's obviously screwy. So SCOTUS, make these cucking GOP legislatures grow a pair and make the decision themselves, as the Constitution says they're able to as the last bastion."

Yup. Really implies that not once and not ever in the long amd tumultuous US history, has there ever been somethimg screwy with the election system.

Sounds like compensation...
 
Don't know if anyone else mentionrd this already but Trump's team has filed to the Nevada Supreme Court.

I wouldn't expect anything to come from it going to that court it's pretty much just a speedbump for the Nevada case working it's way up to SCOTUS if that's where things are going with that particular case which I expect it will.
 
Look how easy it was for them to turn regular people into violent anarchists this year. Media says 'Drumpf!', the brainwashed are going to say 'orange man bad'.
the rioters weren't normal people lmao, they were the same leftist goons and astroturfers that did the rioting in Chile back in August of last year.
 
Maybe a Biden Presidency will have its own flavor on fun? Anywho, the left will be absolutely seething on how much they got played. Well, at the very least, any new wars that start will be on the Democrats and Leftist this time.
Leftists will blame any problems on the GOP before the guy in office. Or they'll find a way. Look at what happened with Obama.
 
Everybody always quotes 1984 as the dystopian novel and you seem to think we're heading in that direction for conservatives. However, you have to remind yourself that in that book, we mostly look at the world from Winston's perspective, who is himself a member of the Party. Only 15% of the population are members of the party and have to live by the strict rules of the Big Brother government. The majority of the population, the plebs, are written by Orwell as not really having changed much from the working class of Britain. They still enjoy the same things: soccer, drinking, partying, etc. They even have a life expectancy that was average for the Brits in 1945 when the book was written (60 years old). They didn't act against the government because the government wasn't constantly flicking a finger at their foreheads and annoying them the way they annoyed the Party members.

What I'm saying is that I have a future, which is why you won't see me take direct action against Antifa or the lefties. But in your world, they would come for my job, they would come for my home, they would turn my girlfriend into disgusting fat dangerhair, they would put me in prison for not going to a rally, and troon out my kids, they would force me to watch their propaganda like I have a telesreen in my home, and on top of that, they plan to take me to a gulag. If that future that you're dooming over comes to pass, then I have nothing lose anymore, and a lot of people probably are probably going to listen a little more closely to that Boomerwaffen nutjob telling us to go bomb the judge that took everything from us.
Things won't go that far before people have nothing left to lose, most people were struggling back when the economy was actually running, now you have millions of people on unemployment and unemployment is running out of money. Lots of people will have nothing left to lose before it gets to 1984 levels of despair.
 

"The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.

Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were “voting irregularities” in these states as a result of the above.

Texas is asking the Supreme Court to order the states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors. The lawsuit says:

Certain officials in the Defendant States presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting. The Defendant States flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted. Whether well intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect—they made the 2020 election less secure in the Defendant States. Those changes are inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.

This case presents a question of law: Did the Defendant States violate the Electors Clause by taking non-legislative actions to change the election rules that would govern the appointment of presidential electors? These non-legislative changes to the Defendant States’ election laws facilitated the casting and counting of ballots in violation of state law, which, in turn, violated the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution. By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.
Texas approached the Supreme Court directly because Article III provides that it is the court of first impression on subjects where it has original jurisdiction, such as disputes between two or more states."

Hail Mary play, but at least Texas will not go gentle into that good night.

The Lonestar state coming out in clutch.
 
Here comes a new challenger.

The State of Texas.

This is the same constitutional argument that most people who have talked about it have said is the strongest play. It's interesting to see an entire state call out the other states, but it makes sense.
 
The problem is that let's say the SC says okay. PA, MI, GA, and WI legislatures have to select electors. I'll proverbially bet that enough RINOs in those states will vote the electors be given to Biden because "muh will of the people".
Won't be a bad bet.

But this also means we'll be watching this all the way till the 14th.
