Pennsylvania has now joined

Pennsylvania is a defendant. They haven’t joined anything. It’s just more Republicans joining the coup attempt.

No Pa is involved.

A group of state senators and representatives.have filed a suit.
The senators are claiming that, among other things, Wolf’s secretary of state, Kathy Boockvar, and the state Supreme Court acted inappropriately by extending the deadline for the acceptance of mail-in ballots by three days after Nov. 3 in Pennsylvania. The senators are claiming such an expansion was not authorized under Act 77, the 2019 state law that created universal, no-excuses mail-in voting in Pennsylvania.

No, they filed an amicus brief. They are not a party to the suit, just letting the court know their thoughts.

You can file an amicus brief too (if you get the permission of one of the parties, and have it filed by a member of the SCOTUS bar).

Blah Blah Blah. That didn’t add anything.

Well, other than another voice saying that the people’s vote should be thrown out and a Republican legislature should decide who’s President.

Funny that you actually got 3 likes for that. (so far)

With all that losses, being on both sides of the trial is one way to win. Besides, with all the other things tried this month, suing oneself seems somehow right.

Well, 17 states joined Texas. Two )OH and AZ) did not although they filed briefs. 23 states (with Guam, VI and DC) filed against TX. Let’s keep those numbers straight.
 
Pardon me?

Had the tables been turned, and Biden was in the position Trump is in, and Biden pulled this garbage, you all would be hemorrhaging by now and calling for him to be imprisoned for treason.
 
Montana Governor amicus

INTRODUCTION1
Texas has sued four other States, directly in this
Court, seeking to overturn the results of the presidential
election. Texas alleges that those States’ efforts to
facilitate voting in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic
violated the Electors Clause. Texas further maintains
that expanding the availability of mail ballots resulted in
fraud on a massive scale. Seventeen states have signed
an amicus brief in support of Texas’s lawsuit.

Texas chose not to include the State of Montana,
where President Trump and other Republicans were
successful in a mail ballot election conducted to reduce
the impact of COVID—underscoring, of course, that this
action is less about election integrity than it is about
attempting to overturn the will of the electorate. But if
Texas is successful in its suit, it would destabilize the
results of elections in Montana and any other state that
took valid state-law actions to minimize the impact of the
virus on voting, including states that delivered victories
to Republican candidates using mail ballots.2
 
It’s my understanding that one of the points of the Texas suit concerns those states that did not equally apply their standards and violated the equal protection clause regarding the electors clause. That’s why it’s limited to certain states.
 
Few people would have the sheer chutzpah and gall to do what Trump has done since losing. It’s a good thing too (that his traits are rare).

The Texas Tribune reminds us that Texas governor Abbott changed voting procedures without state legislature approval in the run up to the election.

LOL.
 
Texas on Friday filed its reply to the Supreme Court, defending its lawsuit against the four states that voted for President-elect Joe Biden.

The move now means that the Justices can act on the lawsuit at any time.

Some background on this lawsuit: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed the lawsuit Tuesday. The President on Wednesday filed a motion to intervene — basically a request to join the lawsuit, asking for the same result. Seventeen GOP states are backing the effort as well.

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.

It’s funny, because some of the states have laws that specifically state that if the electors were selected by the means required, the state legislature can’t appoint an alternate slate of electors.
