He is absolutely correct. The only reason Texas cares if other States violated the Constitution is that the Presidency is astronomically more powerful than was intended.

Decentralization is always preferable to centralization. It is unfortunate that even many libertarians reject the former.

AG Slatery Joins Amicus Brief Supporting Texas Election Lawsuit
Wednesday, December 09, 2020 | 02:12pm

Nashville-Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III today released the following statement after joining Missouri’s amicus brief in support of Texas’s action in the Supreme Court.

“The Tennessee Attorney General’s Office has consistently taken the position that only a State’s legislature has the authority to make and change election laws. This Office pressed that argument in cases defending Tennessee’s election laws against pandemic-related challenges and in amicus briefs in cases involving similar challenges in other courts. This is not something new. Texas’s action in the Supreme Court seeks to vindicate the same important separation-of-powers principles, and that is why we joined Missouri’s amicus brief in support of that action.”

How were votes debased? All of Texas' electoral votes went to Trump since he won the popular vote there.

I think the gist of it is that if states can illegally (according to their own state laws) change voting/elector procedures, then why should other states be beholden to them?

Why don't the Tweet tags work for me?

You should only put the number at the end of the tweet URL inside the tags - not the whole URL.

So for this URL: https://twitter.com/ChanelRion/status/1336768942975672321

You would use this: [TWEET]1336768942975672321[/TWEET]

Such as the fact that judges allowed North Carolina's election board to extend its window for accepting absentee ballots beyond what was law?

Mysteriously, nobody has been talking about North Carolina in the month since the election. And they weren't sued by Texas.




Any guesses as to the reason behind that?

Do get relief in court you have to allege you have been damaged. Nobody disputes that Biden was helped by absentee ballots so there is no damages claim for the change.

This division is causing riffs in families. I have a friend who found out that both his parents voted for Biden. He got so pissed off that he vowed to never visit their graves again.

Responses are due by 3 pm tomorrow. https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/texas-v-pennsylvania/

Can't wait to read them; they will cut Paxton a new one. They will no doubt point out the blatant hypocrisy (the legal term is "coming into court with unclean hands") of Texas, whose Governor Abbott moved up the start date of early voting by six days, contrary to statutory law.

Responses can point out anything they want, it doesn't mean the judges will agree with them.

Further, even if Texas is being hypocritical (and I do not know those details and IANAL) and has "unclean hands", it seems to me that there are still 17+ other states that have joined the lawsuit, and it seems unlikely that all 17 have acted against their own laws (in an obvious way).

Further yet, if Texas's results were also tainted/invalid, that seems like all the more reason to invalidate election results. Not a reason to say: hey everything's fine, nothing to see here.

I don't think they have actually joined the suit in the sense of trying to intervene as plaintiffs. It's probably just that they've filed amicus curiae ("friend of the court") briefs in support of Texas' position. If Texas is still the only plaintiff its unclean hands might prove fatal to the case. See https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/22o155.html

It does appear that Trump has moved to intervene. See https://www.supremecourt.gov/Docket...5_No. 22O155 Original Motion to Intervene.pdf
