Paxton is not corrupt and is the best AG in the nation.
They've now flipped the script and are portraying Trump as the elderly, weak, senior citizen.

You're missing the point there swift.
LaCivita is Trump's current campaign manager.

Yes, RFK's.Maybe we found out whose campaign manager really is a CIA asset.
You gotta be kidding. Paxton is a politically-motivated scumbag and Trump ass-kisser who filed a totally baseless suit in the Supreme Court complaining about how another state ran its 2020 presidential election. Any first year law student could have seen that Texas had no standing, which is probably why the Texas Solicitor General refused to participate in the case. SCOTUS (including two Trump appointees) dismissed the case due to lack of standing.
He has been under indictment for securities fraud for years, but just today he cut a sweetheart deal in the case under which the charges will be dismissed if he takes legal ethics classes, pays around $270,000 in restitution to the men he allegedly defrauded and does 100 hours of community service (reportedly to be done in a food bank).
A bunch of Leftist and Bush wing (redundant) lies.
The 2020 election theft was every state's business.
Texas has no more right to tell Pennsylvania how to run its election than California has the right to tell Texas how to run its internal affairs.
Garbage, SCOTUS chickened out, like they have many times.Oh, so Trump's hand-picked Justices who threw out Paxton's case are leftists? Who knew? What does that tell you about Trump's judgment in appointing them?
Texas has no more right to tell Pennsylvania how to run its election than California has the right to tell Texas how to run its internal affairs.
If the PA legislature wants to assign its Electors directly and forgo an election it has that right, but it must do it officially, and the PA executive branch doesn't get to just bypass the legislature and the legislated electoral process and cheat surreptitiously.Analogy fail. Pennsylvania's federal elections are not merely a matter of Pennsylvania's "internal affairs". The consequences of federal-level elections affect all states, and if Texas, et al. are going to be expected to accept those consequences, then they damn well ought to have "standing" to dispute the matter, if they will.
Texas has (or ought to have) as much a right to reject the results of Pennsylvania's federal-level elections if those elections are not legitimate as Pennsylvania has a right to expect Texas to accept the results of its federal-level elections if those elections are legitimate (all that "lack of standing" shuck-and-jive to the contrary notwithstanding).
Disputes between states over whether such federal-level elections are legitimate or not are just the sort of thing that federal-level courts ought to exist in order to deal with, not shirk. If not, then what the hell is even the point of them?
In the limit, states should assign their electors however they damn well please - and if any state for whatever reasons (1) doesn't like how some other state does it, and (2) isn't able to arrive at a tolerable (if not satisfactory) reconciliation with the other state (via federal courts or otherwise), and (3) feels sufficiently strongly about the matter, then that state should be free to remove itself from political union with the other state. But the same $#@!s who tell us that no state should be granted any "standing" to dispute any other state's federal-level elections (or elector assignments) will also tell us that no state should be permitted to take its marbles and go home. (Funny how that works out, ain't it?)
