It is in the supreme court's original jurisdiction. I am willing to accept that Alito and Thomas, who are stalwart constitutionalists know what they are doing in agreeing with the no standing decision. Standing means, among other things, there needs to be direct injury. The state of TX was not directly injured, though the people were. We still have big things rolling that have been building momentum since before this case came out a week ago. Now is not the time to give up on what Trump's Team is actually doing. When those cases make the SCOTUS, there will be different standing, and merit to boot.

I don't get how people are turning on Alito and Thomas of all people over this. This case really makes me wonder if it was planned, though Ken Paxton seems legitimate on the surface. That is something worth looking into if you're feeling doomy.
