  • Joseph P. Farrell posted an update 5 years, 4 months ago

    Prediction: the Supreme Court will rule in the Texas lawsuit that it (the state) has no standing.

    • I watched 2008 as a friend tried to establish his status as a natural born citizen to eventually demonstrate that Obama was NOT one and repeatedly the courts used “no standing” as the excuse. I am certainly not betting against you on this one, Dr. Farrell (sadly).

    • Up to 17 states (1/3) have now joined TX in this law suit. As Bongino shows, it not only suggests harm to voters who thought they were voting in a fair election but that the harm will also be if the Vice President is selected through unConstitutional means who could break a tie in the Senate. Pretty smart.

    • … a much more simple prediction … NOTHING will come of any of this RIGmarole.

    • Affirmation of what I suspected 2 weeks ago! Sad to say, but it appears many people are going to be ‘shocked’ at the abandonment of all reason, and justice for all.

    • Just suppose for a moment that CHAOS is the objective in this 2020 circus.
      Half the country right now KNOWS the election was rigged and that the election process is a complete scam. What if SCOTUS hears and decides in Texas’ favor? And the election is reversed on Constitutional grounds?
      The half that knows that elections are rigged will still believe that, but will thank the Court for making things right.
      BUT now the other half of the country that thought the election was free and fair will believe they’ve been robbed and that voting makes no difference.
      Everyone will have lost faith in the process and there can be no reconciliation.
      Chaos accomplished.
      Could happen. Just sayin’…

      • The actual numbers indicate that the “half” that think it’s fair is far less than 50%, it is just that the half” that feel cheated from a rigged election, a number that is greater than 50%, are usually non-violent, quiet, often former military, certainly the working people who are usually too busy feeding their families and who have now been wrenched from their livelihoods, who usually avoid chaos but have finally had enough to actually do something after all these years. Call it awake or call it pushed to the edge, whatever it is, leaving them cheated again is not going to satisfy them this time. So yes, if chaos is the objective, if waking the sleeping giant to make the stand against Communism is the goal, it worked.

        • … remember as Christopher Titus reminds us about the difficulty of revolution in America. From his Neverlution — “Everyone wants a revolution, but no one’s willing to pack a lunch.” He also points out that during the revolution meeting the attendees find it difficult to get everyone’s day planners to sync up.

          • I’ve said something similar. “Everyone wants a revolution, but nobody wants to train for one.”

    • from the potus filing:
      Donald J. Trump, President of the United States,
      respectfully seeks leave to intervene in the pending
      original jurisdiction matter of State of Texas v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, et al., No. 22O155 (filed
      Dec. 7, 2020).
      Plaintiff in Intervention seeks leave to file the accompanying Bill of Complaint in Intervention against
      the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the States of
      Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin (“Defendant
      States”), challenging their administration of the 2020
      presidential election.
      There is no Eleventh Amendment bar to the intervention by a private party whose rights are affected
      by an original action between States. See, Maryland
      v. Louisiana, 451 U.S. 725, 745, fn. 21 (1981) (“[I]t is
      not unusual to permit intervention of private parties
      in original actions”); Arizona v. California, 460 U.S.
      605, 614 ([O]ur judicial power over the controversy is
      not enlarged by granting leave to intervene, and the
      States’ sovereign immunity, protected by the Eleventh
      Amendment, is not compromised”). See also, Texas v.
      Louisiana, 416 U.S. 965 (1974) (city in Texas permitted to intervene); Arizona v. California, 373 U.S. 546
      (1963) (state agencies); Oklahoma v. Texas, 258 U.S.
      574, 581 (1922) (noting that numerous parties intervened to make claims to the property over which the
      Court had taken control and that “ancillary” jurisdiction over such claims was proper “although independent suits to enforce the claims could not be entertained
      in that court”).
      As set forth in the accompanying brief and Complaint in Intervention, election officials in each of the
      Defendant States altered or otherwise failed to enforce state election laws in the conduct of the 2020
      5
      election. The violations of state election law, which is
      the “manner” the Legislatures of the States have established for choosing presidential electors, violates
      the Electors Clause of the U.S. Constitution and thus
      this matter arises under federal law. See Bush v Gore,
      531 U.S. 98, 113 (2000) (“significant departure from
      the legislative scheme for appointing Presidential
      electors presents a federal constitutional question”)
      (Rehnquist, C.J., concurring). Moreover, as explained
      more fully in the complaint filed by Texas, the number
      of ballots affected by illegal conduct of state elections
      officials greatly exceeds the current margin between
      Plaintiff in Intervention and his opponent in the election for the Office of President in each of the respective Defendant States, and the four Defendant States
      collectively have a sufficient number of electoral votes
      to affect the result of the vote in the Electoral College
      for the Office of President. Proposed Plaintiff in Intervention therefore clearly has a stake in the outcome of this litigation.

    • The “dismissed for lack of standing” maneuver was the first thing that came to my mind too. I actually think the legal argument that a state as such has been harmed by voting fraud committed in other states is kind of a stretch. It’s individual voters who have been harmed. You’d think they could bring class-action suits in the states where fraud occurred, though that probably couldn’t be done fast enough to affect who becomes president in January.

      I remember a professor in a paralegal course once told the class, when discussing a Constitutional question, “The answer is five.” In other words, the answer is whatever five Supreme Court justices say it is, regardless of what the law says. The outcome of this case will depend on the political outcome a majority of Court wants (or has been coerced into wanting), the image of itself the Court wants to project, and/or some precedent it does or doesn’t want to set. It will have nothing to do with who actually has legal standing.

    • Perilous times, no matter which way they rule. I certainly hope you are wrong, though, Joseph.

    • Posted my view of this situation couple of days ago and it disappeared. Of course, I did reference McC*rth*, D*w*, R**s*v*lt. I hate when that happens

    • a more simple prediction … and the people will see that the United States is now a dual state (actually has been for quite some time) and the American Justice System will be “coordinated” with the goals of the Democratic Party. Rather than precedent the courts will work according to “gesundes Volksempfinden”. The Supreme Court will henceforth be called the “Peoples Court” and its Chief Justice will be a clone of Roland Freisler.
