In refusing to hear the Texas case against the four states which had refused to abide by Article II, § 1, cl. 2, the nine #SCOTUS justices committed a wrong against:

(i) Texas and the 17 states that supported its suit

(ii) the United States

(iii) the President

(iv) the People

The U.S. Supreme Court abdicated its constitutional duty to resolve a real & substantial controversy among states that was properly brought as an original action in SCOTUS.

The Justices have evaded the most important inter-state constitutional case ever brought before SCOTUS.

In refusing to hear the case, the sole reason given was that Texas lacked “standing.”

They barely DODGED this one — but even in its Order dismissing the case, the Supreme Court identified how another challenge could be brought successfully, maybe by a different plaintiff...

As Alexander Hamilton explained in Federalist No. 78, courts have “neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment.”

Courts have a duty to explain their decisions, to show they aren't arbitrary exercises of power, but reasoned judicial decisions which the People can trust.

“Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its election.”

#SCOTUS resolving a case of this MAGNITUDE with one conclusory sentence is completely UNACCEPTABLE.

The Supreme Court’s reliance on STANDING as its excuse has had one positive result — provoking many to study the origins of that doctrine who may be surprised to learn that the word “standing” nowhere appears in the Constitution.

Abdication of DUTY is not a judicial option.

The true threshold constitutional test is whether a genuine and serious “controversy” exists between the States that could be resolved by the Supreme Court.

That political reality presents a real “judicially cognizable interest” no matter what the Supreme Court decided.

If the process by which Presidential Electors are chosen is CORRUPTED in a few key states — like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin — by rigging the system in favor of one candidate, it becomes wholly irrelevant who the People of Texas, or other states, support.

During the 2020 election cycle, Pennsylvania violated the exclusive authority bestowed on state legislators in the Constitution’s Electors Clause, it opened the door to corruption and foreign intrigue to corrupt the electoral votes...
