This is what it is really about...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/10/politics/trump-texas-supreme-court-election/index.html

Although all 50 states have certified their election results and the Supreme Court swiftly rejected an emergency request from Pennsylvania Republicans to block election results in the commonwealth, the justices are now grappling with a new controversial bid from Texas, supported by President Donald Trump and 17 other Republican-led states.

They are asking the Supreme Court for an emergency order to invalidate the ballots of millions of voters in four battleground states -- Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania -- even though there is no evidence of widespread fraud.

Critics of the President and his allies say the case reflects an audacious and legally dubious gambit to keep the lawsuits flowing in order to prolong baseless claims that President-elect Joe Biden's victory was somehow illegitimate.

Here's what you need to know:


What do the Republicans want?

Essentially, to swing the election to Trump.

They're asking for the court to block the electors from Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, pushing Biden back under the magic 270-vote total to win.

First the court would have to allow Paxton to file the suit. Then the court would have to block certification of the Electoral College vote, determine that the four states had allowed massive amounts of "illegal" votes, have the states revisit their vote counts and then resubmit the numbers. The court could also, Trump's filing suggests, let state legislatures determine who wins each state or throw the entire election to the US House of Representatives, where each state delegation would have one vote -- and since Republican delegations outnumber Democratic delegations, Trump would win.

Is there any precedent?

No.

"In a nutshell the President is asking the Supreme Court to exercise its rarest form of jurisdiction to effectively overturn the entire presidential election," said Steve Vladeck, a CNN Supreme Court analyst and University of Texas Law School professor.

The Supreme Court has 6 conservatives. Does that guarantee Trump will win?

No. The court has thus far shown no desire to intervene in the presidential election.

On Tuesday, it rejected the plea from Pennsylvania Republicans to invalidate the state's presidential tallies. It issued one sentence and noted zero dissents. (Justices don't always have to make their votes public.)

No, there isn't. Did you hear yourself? You said "overturn the election" - meaning - you know that biden won fair and square, that there was no massive voter fraud, but because you don't like it, you're willing to do whatever it takes to deny the people's choice.

That is shamefully un-American in the extreme.

No, Biden lost the election.
The democrats are now trying to steal it from the patriot people of America.
If Biden pulls off the coup, there will probably be a revolution.
Is that what you want?
Only if you’re un-American.

Republican and Democratic legal experts say this "suit" is ridiculous and is going nowhere.
They also say its author, AG Paxton of Texas, is in deep trouble with the FBI and this stupid suit is a plea to Trump for a pardon.

Now trump is just becoming a pain in the azz.
It’s over, y’all can leave the stadium , you lost, turn out the lights, the game is over.
The score was 306-232
The world is the witness here. They all saw you Lose with their own two eyes.
For trump to stand up and say He Won when clearly everyone watched the game saw him lose to Biden.
Biden did nothing to win, Trump beat himself. Through missteps, errors and incompetence ,
Total lack of Leadership.
He should seek help for his Mental Problems before someone gets seriously hurt.
My question is how can we fill the cavernous void trump has created by his constant whiney little bitch acts about everything.
I’m sure most of us will be fine and will welcome grown up conversations again.
About things that matter rather than things that only matter to trump.
Thank God and greyhound he’s gone !!!!!

The USA was successful in the last revolution AND the last traitorous act of the seceding states.
The odds are with those of us who support the US Constitution and the nation over politics.

Most of America said that about Trump in 2016. Like yours, it changed nothing.

It's pathetic how the trumpbots confuse Trump with "the nation". Trump will be gone on Jan. 20th; the nation will endure.
