The Supreme Court is signaling that they don't want to get involved. Which means our only non EO/military hope is for the state legislators to appoint pro-trump electors. Based on their behavior thus far, they won't do that.

That’s not the signal I’m getting from SCOTUS. Everyone agreed that Texas didn’t have standing. Basically a 9-0 rejection of the case. Even Alito and Thomas said they would have heard it and refused relief. Essentially “no state has any legal interest in the elections of another state”. Frankly that’s one of the tenets of conservatism anyways.

If this case were “the big one” do you really think all 9 of them would agree to a Biden victory and a packed/ruined SCOTUS without even hearing the case? Yeah right.

They told us how to win in their statement. Has to be filed by someone with standing. Not by setting a precedent of states interfering with each other.

Thomas almost low-key did us a favor by rejecting it ngl. Picture this: the cases brought by Rudy, Sidney and the rest make it to SCOTUS. Fraud is proven and SCOTUS throws it back to the state legislatures (WI, MI, PA and GA are all R legislatures) and they vote to give their electors to Trump. In a blind rage, California and NY sue those same 4 states, claiming the same injuries that Texas did. SCOTUS now has precedent to tell them to fuck off, and they cannot claim they are being partisan (even though we know they will try) because the court denied a similar case from states that voted Trump.

Just a thought.

Ok but WHO has standing then? GEOTUS was a plaintiff of the case.

Trump wasn’t a plaintiff.

What does this mean, then: "MOTION OF DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, TO INTERVENE IN HIS PERSONAL CAPACITY AS CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION, PROPOSED BILL OF COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTION, AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO INTERVENE"

Why doesn't he just refile the lawsuit as himself?

Once electors vote falsely from the state, than Trump will have standing. Kind of talking out of my ass but hope someone clarifies.

Everyone agreed that Texas didn’t have standing

Everyone here who knew what they were talking about agreed that it did have standing.

SCOTUS signaled that they are against us. You'll see this too when they rule against Trump with anything that comes their way, and soon.

who is 'everyone'? I've been watching for a week as lawyer after lawyer opined this lawsuit is beautiful and entirely proper.

You get that it was Attorney Generals in each red state that signed on to it? As in, the most prominent lawyers of each state, believed they did in fact have standing.

No. STOCUS made an entirely subjective call on this one and they chose to side with Biden.

do you really think all 9 of them would agree

did you actually read the statement? 2 dissented. In their dissent they said that the motion should be granted, but the relief should not.

EMERGENCY RELIEF. THEY WOULD HAVE REFUSED EMERGENCY RELIEF.

This is what happens when you have low-IQ, non-lawyers interpreting court orders.
