The Supreme Court is giving the states a month to respond - until January 14th! He’s trying to run out the clock - To hear the matter just before Inauguration Day (or afterwards). The country is a tinderbox and he’s playing with fire.

From a WND Article....
"Standing is not mentioned in the Constitution nor in any legislation governing the federal courts. The Constitution authorizes federal courts to decide "all cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this U.S. Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority." [Article III, Section 2, of the Constitution (emphasis added).] Article III, Section 2, refers to "controversies" but only for diversity cases that are not brought under federal or constitutional laws.
The U.S. Supreme Court conjured "standing" out of thin air, talking about a case and controversy – not case or controversy. They invented inconsistent, self-contradictory and illogical "rules." That's yet another way they can pick and choose policy outcomes while pretending to follow objective standards."
Standing used to mean something but like everything else corruption touches it becomes corrupt. It's now become an excuse to arbitrarily dismiss any case they feel like.
In an election like this nearly everyone has standing. They're trying to minimise that as though it's between a very narrow set of competing parties.
This in itself starts to raise certain issues. If a state doesn't have standing in a matter that impacts the united states (not united state) to which they are supposed to be a party then it means it is not a united state just a state. It would also mean that anything federal has no standing in that state. That would make it defacto an independent state. It would also immediately mean that the president of the united states is not their president. He would not have standing in their state just as their state would not have standing with the united states. It would also mean that SCOTUS has no standing in their state.
