I hope he does squeeze ‘em and make ‘em squeal. There’s a lot of Republicans that don’t have the cujones to sling the ■■■■ like the Dems do. It’s apparent politics and future elections have taken on a whole new dynamic.

Texas didn’t ask for a hearing.

In fact, they specifically requested that the case be determined summarily in their complaint.

And maybe they should have. Then they could have voted 9-0 and it would be over. At least that would have stopped the complaints.

But, but, Benghazi!

Agreed. Any talk of the GOP moving on from Trump anytime soon is wishful thinking. Too many Cruzes in that lineup.

Then was Ted Cruz just blowing smoke up Trump’s trouser leg?

Yes.

What was the point of Trump being so nice to those SCOTUS appointees if he wasn’t going to be able to call in a favor or two afterwards?

So unfair.

IMHO There will be a few Congressmen and Senators who are not from pure red districts and states that will back off.

Maybe after four years Trump finally learned something about government.

Hope you’re right.

Doubt it.

Maybe in the business world. But the members of the SCOTUS are lawyers.

Think Trump understood the difference?

I think that Trump recognizes when he is facing a person who is smarter then him.

People assume others are like themselves. That Trump is incapable of compartmentalizing, he assumes justices are the same.

Making a decision or voting against one’s wishes to honor one’s responsibilities is foreign to folks like Trump.

What they actually requested is as follows. SEE Texas BILL OF COMPLAINT page 39

PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE,

Plaintiff States respectfully request that this Court issue the following relief:

A. Declare that Defendant States Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin administered the 2020 presidential election in violation of the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

B. Declare that any electoral college votes cast by such presidential electors appointed in Defendant States Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin are in violation of the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and cannot be counted. 40

C. Enjoin Defendant States’ use of the 2020 election results for the Office of President to appoint presidential electors to the Electoral College.

D. Enjoin Defendant States’ use of the 2020 election results for the Office of President to appoint presidential electors to the Electoral College and authorize, pursuant to the Court’s remedial authority, the Defendant States to conduct a special election to appoint presidential electors.

E. If any of Defendant States have already appointed presidential electors to the Electoral College using the 2020 election results, direct such States’ legislatures, pursuant to 3 U.S.C. § 2 and U.S. CONST. art. II, § 1, cl. 2, to appoint a new set of presidential electors in a manner that does not violate the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment, or to appoint no presidential electors at all.

F. Enjoin the Defendant States from certifying presidential electors or otherwise meeting for purposes of the electoral college pursuant to 3 U.S.C. § 5, 3 U.S.C. § 7, or applicable law pending further order of this Court.

G. Award costs to Plaintiff State.

H. Grant such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.

They are neither “liberal”, “progressive” nor are they Republican or Democrat Leaders. They are notoriously evil Socialist Revolutionaries who intend to use government force to steal and then enjoy the property which labor, business and investors have worked to create.

Thanks for this info, much appreciated.

I am hearing several states including GA and PA sent National Archives in Washington DC today republican elector votes. Also imagine that is why the governor of Michigan closed the doors of state electors in a similar fashion trying to block them with state troopers for casting Republican electoral votes.

Do you have anything on this to share?

Scroll down to the memo in support. Page 91 of your linked pdf.

The issues presented here are neither fact-bound nor complex, and their vital importance urgently needs a resolution. Plaintiff State will move this Court for expedited consideration but also suggest that this case is a prime candidate for summary disposition because the material facts—namely, that the COVID-19 pandemic prompted non-legislative actors to unlawfully modify Defendant States’ election laws, and carry out an election in violation of basic voter integrity statute—are not in serious dispute. California v. United States, 457 U.S. 273, 278 (1982); South Carolina v. Katzenbach, 383 U.S. 301, 307 (1966). This case presents a pure and straightforward question of law that requires neither finding additional facts nor briefing beyond the threshold issues presented here.

So, now you point to a suggestion and ignore the actual “PRAYER FOR RELIEF”.

Yeah. They were all fake. And their votes will not be recognized.
