So we are still waiting to hear if SCOTUS will hear the Texas case. What if they don't answer until Monday? That's when the electoral college is supposed to vote. Can they pause the electoral college from voting? Or can they vote, but have their votes overturned? How does this work if we have pending litigation?

By the way, they can 'hear' the case without a hearing. It is only if they call for oral arguments that Cruz and Paxson and the defendants appear before the court.

They may decide that the briefs are enough to decide the case for or against Texas.

Oh wow! I did not know that they could rule on the briefs alone.... the defendants didn't even defend themselves in their briefs lol

That make the defendant’s response so much worse...that is surprising they can rule in favor of Texas just on the briefs alone. I didn’t know that.
