Texas Asks Supreme Court for Permission to Sue Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin Over How They Conducted the Election, To Disenfranchise Voters in These States and Let State Legislators Choose Electors. It Won’t Work

I may need to take back what I said about Rep. Kelly’s PA suit being the dumbest case I’ve ever seen filed on an emergency basis at the Supreme Court.

This new one from the indicted Texas AG Ken Paxton (but missing the name of Texas’s Solicitor General, who surely would not sign this garbage) probably should win that prize.
...
My view in brief: this is a press release masquerading as a lawsuit. Texas doesn’t have standing to raise these claims as it has no say over how other states choose electors; it could raise these issues in other cases and does not need to go straight to the Supreme Court; it waited too late to sue; the remedy Texas suggests of disenfranchising tens of millions of voters after the fact is unconstitutional; there’s no reason to believe the voting conducted in any of the states was done unconstitutionally; it’t too late for the Supreme Court to grant a remedy even if the claims were meritorious (they are not).

What utter garbage. Dangerous garbage, but garbage.
