First the sauce:

  1. Read the Motion to File a Bill of Complaint from TX. It’s complicated legalese, but at least skim through it so you get the gist and can distinguish between this and other matters.

  1. For the non legally inclined, Crowder did a good bit with AG Paxton this morning that puts it all in simple terms

There are lots of cases floating around from everyone from individuals, various groups, the GOP, Trump’s team, etc. that are fighting the fraud fight and related issues. The TX case has nothing to do with any of this. It is separate, unique, and is rooted in State and Constitutional issues solely related to states. This is why it didn’t go through other courts because those courts have to say in the very narrow p, very specific questions of this case.

It is big and getting a lot of publicity, so everyone and their cousin wants to get their name on it.

Bottom line: No entity but a State has anything to do with this case. People claiming otherwise and those making filings about fraud or anything else are damaging the case in public opinion, confusing very important issues, and adding frivolous paperwork that does nothing to help the case, no matter what their intentions may or may not be and no matter how much you like them.

If they want to take a case to SCOTUS then they need to do so, as individuals or join a case that involves the issues that they are arguing.

This case is too important for it to be ruined by a bunch of unrelated or frivolous stuff and I don’t want to see this get tossed out because someone put their 15 minutes of fame ahead of the future of the country.

It forces SCOTUS to determine whether or not the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land or just ink on a piece of parchment paper in a museum.

Yup. But it does so from a very different and unique angle from other arguments.

I should emphasize with my original post that there are lots of very valid cases out there that, I think, should ultimately be argued and settled by SCOTUS. This issue is vast and wide ranging.

But conflating issues does not help this case nor any of the other cases, especially when going to SCOTUS.
