Seventeen Republican States Pushing SCOTUS To Install A Banana Republic...

17 states tell Supreme Court they support Texas bid to reverse Biden win


The trumper states, 17 of them, support overturning the will of the people and in an act of complete tyranny overturn a fair and secure election. These states and the rethuglican tyrants in those states are, in effect, asking the SCOTUS to effectively stage a "legal" coup d'etat.

Make absolutely no mistake about this, 17 states are, in all actuality, embracing authoritarianism and a tyranny of the minority. In other words they are embracing that which this nation's founders declared independence from and then went to war to be free of this type of tyranny.

While donald j. trump is the catalyst and motivator for this despotic and foolishly stupid request to the SCOTUS it is the authoritarian minded people who adore their authoritarian and corrupt president that are most responsible for this indecency and full frontal attack on democracy.

Were it the democratic party rather than the republican (aka rethuglican) party spreading conspiracy theories and fraudulent claims of voter fraud and refusing to accept the results of the fair and secure 2020 election the republican (aka rethuglican) party would be screaming bloody murder and very likely taking to the streets armed to the teeth.

The party of trump is a band of liars, thieves, hypocrites, and untrustworthy people as well as flaming authoritarian fools. In as much as the SCOTUS in its good sense refused to overturn PA's vote count it is highly unlikely this bogus BS attempt to overturn the will of the people will go anywhere. AS it damn well shouldn't.

donald j. trump, the republican party in these republican states, and his sycophants and cultists can all go straight to hell and that would be too kind for these an-American and despotic numbskuls. 

Even after the most corrupt and dishonest "man" to ever hold the office of the presidency can no longer darken the peoples White House he will continue to undermine our democratic republic and its institutions of government in the continued attempt to enrich himself  while attempting to destroy our republic and everything it has stood for. And his delusional or deranged supporters will stand with him in the hopes of turning this nation into a Banana Republic.

Sad and dangerous. BTW, the German people didn't think tyranny would become a reality under Hitler and the Nazi party either. It can happen here and we now have many little authoritarian minded folks pushing hard for that to become a reality.

Now on to the supporting article...


KEY POINT
  • A) Seventeen states told the Supreme Court that they support an effort by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to sue to effectively reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s projected win in the Electoral College.
  • B) The filing came a day after Paxton asked the Supreme Court for permission to sue Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin over their election results, which Biden won in all instances.
  • C) President Donald Trump filed a motion to intervene in the case “in his personal capacity” as a presidential candidate.
  • D) Trump defeated Biden in the popular vote of the states supporting Paxton’s bid.

Seventeen states whose elections were won by President Donald Trump told the Supreme Court on Wednesday that they support Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s bid to file a lawsuit that could effectively reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s projected Electoral College victory.

The filing backing Paxton by those states came a day after he asked the Supreme Court for permission to sue Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, all of which Biden won, over their voting processes.

Later Wednesday, Trump filed a motion to intervene in the case “in his personal capacity” as a presidential candidate. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on Paxton’s request.

The states supporting the suit, all of which have Republican attorneys general, are Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.

Trump defeated Biden in the popular vote in all of those states, though one of Nebraska’s electoral votes was awarded to Biden.

Representatives for the four battleground states being targeted in the lawsuit did not immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment.

Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, whose state overwhelmingly voted for Biden over Trump, said in a scornful tweet that Maryland would not join Paxton’s case after someone on Twitter suggested he do so.

“The suit is a cesspool of disproved charges, wild speculation, insupportable arguments and silly gibberish,” Frosh tweeted.

“Joe Biden is the President-Elect.”

Paxton, a Republican who remains under indictment for state felony securities fraud charges, is asking the high court for permission to sue the four states to block their certification of Biden’s wins in them.

Paxton argues that a block is warranted because of supposedly improper changes to voting procedures there in the past year, purportedly different treatment of voters in Democratic-heavy areas, and voting “irregularities.”

The four swing-state defendants are set to file their replies in opposition to Paxton’s requests of the court by 3 p.m. on Thursday.

The effort comes as all states have certified their individual presidential election results, which show that Biden easily won the national popular vote.

Biden is projected to win the Electoral College when it meets Monday with 36 more votes than the 270-vote minimum needed to clinch the White House.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on Tuesday said Paxton’s filing “is a publicity stunt, not a serious legal pleading.”

“The erosion of confidence in our democratic system isn’t attributable to the good people of Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia or Pennsylvania but rather to partisan officials, like Mr. Paxton, who place loyalty to a person over loyalty to their country,” Nessel said in a statement.

“The Michigan issues raised in this complaint have already been thoroughly litigated and roundly rejected in both state and federal courts – by judges appointed from both political parties. Mr. Paxton’s actions are beneath the dignity of the office of Attorney General and the people of the great state of Texas.”

Trump has refused to concede the election to Biden, claiming without evidence that he was the victim of widespread ballot fraud.

Trump and his campaign, as well as their political allies, have repeatedly failed in their legal attempts to invalidate votes for Biden.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear a separate bid from Trump-allied Republicans challenging Biden’s win in Pennsylvania.

Election law experts saw that apparently unanimous rejection as a signal that the remaining efforts to overturn Biden’s win were all but doomed at the Supreme Court.

But the GOP plaintiffs in that case plan to petition the high court for a formal appeal, The Hill reported Wednesday.

The president and his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, recently have pushed for legislatures in battleground states whose popular elections were won by Biden to overrule their citizens, and to appoint a slate of electors for Trump to the Electoral College.
