Although many are cheering SCOTUS not hearing the PA case, those same individuals will likely be wishing they had. SCOTUS is instead requesting answers from the four defendant states in the TX AG’s filing which involves enough electors that if taken back from Biden and given to the state’s legislators, will upend the “media’s” coronation. Don’t give weight to reports of this being a press release, or outrageous case, pull up the documents in the docket on SCOTUS’ website and read them for yourself. You will very quickly begin to realize this is a very serious case that is seeking relief for the merits of the law. There is not allegations of Dominion vote swaps, injections of false ballots, or even Hugo Chavez, however there is a mountain of substantive allegations that the four defendant states violated numerous areas of the constitution in the manner which they conducted their elections. If you read this and run to CNN for some comforting snowflake validation that this is a joke, you will be setting yourself up for extreme disappointment and disbelief when Trump is President for four more years. Educate yourself on the facts and realize if SCOTUS hears this case and makes a decision on the merits, Biden will be no more than dust in the wind in a few months. No one knows whether the Supreme Court will hear this or not, and if you believe otherwise, you will only be kidding yourself. Whatever the final outcome of this election is, will probably depend on this particular case being heard or not.
Michigan AG Dana Nessel stated this was a publicity stunt and a waste of state resources for those 4 states.
Why was this lawsuit not filed earlier? hmmm. An AG from Texas requesting to disenfranchise voters in 4 other states is outrageous.
Texas AG Paxton was accused of fraud in 2016 and is currently under indictment for securities fraud and facing an FBI investigation over allegations of bribery and abuse of office.
Could he be seeking a pardon from President Trump?
Update on Texas lawsuit: Supreme Court has taken the case with a vote of 9-0. The four swing states named in the suit have until Thursday to respond. As I understand the lawsuit, it claims that the swing states violated the Constitution and in so doing, they violated the rights of all American citizens. All of the evidence that has been coming out over the last several weeks will be in play. Also, several other states have signed unto the suit.Very exciting news.

God bless you Steve for your patience. Thank you so much for the work you put in on your blog. The fact check on the history of TX AG is quite revealing. Should cause people pause. Don’t know if it will.
All the money spent on these so called lawsuits would have made quite a difference to the many citizens who are so badly in need. And yet the “powers that be” are fighting over pennies. Come on, get your priorties in order.
