The state of Texas just filed suit directly with the Supreme Court claiming changes made to election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were illegal.
This is insane. How the hell does Texas have standing to make such a claim and to make it with the SCOTUS yet?
I guess since Trump couldn't convince the legislature in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to help him in his coup he had to go to his buddies in Texas to try.
The Texas AG Ken Paxton filed the notice of intent notably without the signature of anyone from the Texas Solicitor Generals office. Paxton is already under indictment in Texas for fraud and is currently under investigation by the SEC and FBI.
Anyone want to bet Trump offered him a pardon? He can't help him at the state level but could protect him at the federal level.
The SCOTUS should just ignore this suit but who the hell knows what this court, with its current makeup, will do.
I haven't heard anything from Alito about the Kelly lawsuit.
Update: The SCOTUS has told Mike Kelly to go to hell. Of course now with the Texas lawsuit why go with one state when you can get all four (*cough, cough*)?
