Been out of the loop for around 48h and last I recall people were making a big deal out of the Texas suit and the states that joined in on them, which I never understood to be a big deal because they were simply asking for an amicus curiae, not an actual ruling of any kind. I never put my faith of something that insignificant to turn over the election results, that's what the Rudy and Syndey lawsuits were trying to accomplish. Am I part of an extreme minority who don't see this as a big deal in any possible way? It's starting to feel like this is a psyop to sway conservative morale, does anyone else share my sentiment that nothing at all has changed from how it was last week? If I'm missing something important pleas fill me in.

Electoral college meets Monday. SCOTUS isn't going to take anyone before then.
It's done, unless Martial Law is declared.
It was heading that way anyway? Why did the uproar start today and not a week ago? To clarify, had the lawsuit won or lost that was going to be the case in either scenario.
Texas suit has a lot of momentum build, made the docket, finished rebuttal, and was in the SCOTUS hands as a "Big One"(Trump label via Twitter). Then it got smacked down.
It was kind of a rogue challenge to the fraud that came out of nowhere and it gained a lot of support as the bill was irrefutable...as we though. However it seems it was ruled 2-7 for no standing.
The way I see it, we had a hail mary bill out of left field that still netted 2 judges in our favor. That seems positive. Disappointing, yes.... but we are still chugging down the tracks....no brakes.
There was a 7-2 against us. Doesn’t bode well for any other cases that will go before the court.
something has changed, but in a positive way.
we now know more about the defendant states' line of defence.
the TX case got them exposed. and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it was deliberate. why did the SCOTUS urge defendant to file a response before throwing the case if not for this reason?
