It was purely on standing. Make of that what you may, but the reading of tea leaves with these things get a bit out of hand.

What I take from it falls somewhere between the court saying "Not strong enough, try again" and "Fuck you." With a slight leaning towards the latter considering disputes between states originate in the court and this is about a presidential election.

Tea leaves it is.

The 'standing' of Texas seemed pretty clear in that states disregarded the constitution to elect the presidential candidate they wanted. In a system where the states have agreed how this works, that is serious harm and there's no other court for Texas to go to.

I would hate to teach constitutional law after this fiasco...

Constitutional Law won't be on the curriculum anyway.
