Article 2 Section 4 of the Constitution. PA supreme court violated it by changing election law for mail ballots. Justice Robert's prolly doing his little bitch face smile knowing hes gonna get screwed.
I feel like this decision and case with scotus is where it all hangs. There is a lot potential fraud, but nothing I've seen that is really going to overturn anything other than maybe delaying state electors so where the legislation has to decide (still good).
But if we can get those bs votes in PA tossed out, that could swing PA. And then the likely wins in AZ, GA and NC could seal it.
It will be interesting to see how SCOTUS handles this.
PA election staff defied an order prior to the election to segregate ballots. Alito issued another order affirming it, expressing dismay at their failure to comply with the earlier order. I don't know if they are complying now.
Those late ballots were probably mixed in with the ballots that arrived on time, and now there is no way to separate them. This is undoubtedly why they didn't comply with the first SCOTUS order.
The question: will SCOTUS force a rollback to the standings before they started counting absentee ballots, or perhaps after the original deadline in the law? By doing so, they would also disenfranchise the voters that submitted their ballot on time, but hadn't yet been counted.
However, I'm not going to pretend to know how SCOTUS would rule. But, Bush v. Gore (2000) is a relevant precedent, and they ruled against a partial recount because every vote must have equal protection under the law.
A rollback seems like it would be pretty subjective to enforce, could be kind of a mess. If they do rule in favor of potus, maybe they would rule its up the legislature, as there probably isn't an easy way to say when the cut off should be?
If PA law says an unresolvable Presidential election is settled by the PA legislature, then that's an option. But, I don't know if PA law actually says that. I haven't been able to find it.
Huge... This will cost the Dems two house seats if confirmed.
Should be 9-0. This would show that the judges stand for our constitution above all. This would result in the least amount of potential for riots...
Ohio joins Missouri and Kentucky in this lawsuit (or maybe they filed separately).
Spez: it's a "friend of the court" filing in support of the request by PA lawmakers to SCOTUS.
It also says that Louisiana, Missouri, and Oklahoma have done the same.
WTF are you, Texas?
They are called "Amicus Curiae" Brief and you translated it perfectly: friend of the court brief

Breaking the law has consequences.
Should be a done deal. Kavanaugh has already stated they would overturn judicial decisions like this, as opposed to legislative.

I don't think SCOTUS can "create" state law.

In my state, the decision falls to the governor.
