Part of me wonders if this whole Texas suit has been in the works since November 3, and they have been getting the best minds to put this together.

Every other case has been a decoy, while the legislative hearings have been a tool to provide evidence and backup this case.

This case seems very well thought out, and very organized. I'm actually amazed this whole thing never leaked - even on 4chan and the like.

Good point about the leaks, this came out of nowhere and is absolutely amazing.

It was probably written by people who already understood these nuances, who already asked, "What's the impact or consequences of a 'POTUS/VP-bundled'* election?"

 

* Remember, POTUS and VP were initially elected independent of one another.

This way I'd like to send our sincere greetings to the Justices Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito, Gorsuch and lovely ACB!

This is an excellent point. I hadn't thought about the historical change and its implications until now.

(And, of course, it's outside the scope and point of this suit, but the guarantee this year of the VP becoming the actual POTUS if the ChildSniffer gets away with this, is a giant, cackling elephant in the room.)

Even as a non- law nerd, this suit is fascinating to read. Just brilliant.

Every other case has been a decoy, while the legislative hearings have been a tool to provide evidence and backup this case.

That and to present to the people the fact that there's been a massive vote disenfranchisement to many states. The country is used to seeing votes being reported to a TV news broadcast and at the end of the night, the winner is known and therefore chosen by the country. Now, a completely different process will occur and people need to believe it was necessary AND constitutionally correct.

It’s almost like it had to be this way

It’s a beautiful case. It’s historic and the correct ruling, putting the resolution back into the hands of the legislatures, would reaffirmed the constitution. It would also put it back on the people through their representatives to resolve. The citizens of each of these states need to organize themselves and be very vocal about how they want their representatives to handle this!

I don't think this case addresses the voter fraud that the hearings talked about. Rather, the unconstitutional laws/orders put in place by states' governors, SoS, and judges.

If I recall correctly, it mentions the voter fraud as being proof that many irregularities happened in the 4 states as a result of unconstitutionally implementing mail in voting.

Therefore the legislative hearings provided backup for this part of the case.

The whole Dominion thing, and all other fraud become now byproducts of the unconstitutional actions of these states. It's a very good way of looking at it since it provides a strong reference point for the reason behind all the fraud.

Which enabled the voter fraud.

The info Lin Wood found about Brad Raffensperger making secret agreements that changed election procedure was in there, too. I wouldn't be surprised if everything that's been dragged onto the record was being scrutinized to see if it can be added to this case.

Considering the harassment that Trump's lawyers suffered in PA, though, it's not surprising that whoever worked on this was able to keep this quiet. Also, if someone had come on here and said "hey there's some law clerks that are working on a thing in Texas and maybe we'll see something in like two weeks I guess tick tock" that would not draw any attention compared to THE DISTRACTIO-- err, THE KRAKEN.

Exactly, it all is starting to make sense now. Trump and his team knew that they had to provide distraction from a strong case.

And they also knew the best way to make a case is to get a strong, large state to sue other states. I don't know why I hadn't thought about this obvious possibility before, but I think it had to do with my growing mistrust of Republican states standing up for Trump.

I think this was 2-3 months before Nov. 3rd. It makes the most sense to me since that gives time to build it on the just in case based on history. All of us, and those around the country, helping and providing evidence might of aided them significantly or more.

We are still providing and finding more evidence as well which is looking to making this case even stronger.

I would not be surprised if they have something else in the works as well to aid this or to use this to aid that just depends, but either way of looking at it this is going to be a rock and hard place to stop it which is a good thing.
