The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday night rejected an eleventh hour challenge to Joe Biden's election as president.

The court's action came in a one-page order, which said the complaint was denied "for lack of standing."

Texas, supported by President Trump, tried to sue Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan, claiming fraud, without evidence. But in order for a state to bring a case in court, especially the Supreme Court, a state must show it has been injured. In essence, the court said Texas could not show that it was injured by the way other states conducted their elections.

"Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections," the court wrote.

Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, wrote that in their view the court does "not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction."

I believe Trump is a Trojan Horse. He appears to be fighting for us; however, he is working against us. His RINO appointees to the Supreme Court are prime examples.

Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas would have heard the case. However, Trump appointees joined the others to vote it down.

No, I disagree. Trump selected typically conservative judges and they are doing their jobs, contrary to the left that predicted and presumed they would simply do Trump's bidding. They are not.

I pretty much called this weakness in the TX case. The issue of "standing" does not mean no fraud occurred, and it doesn't mean PA et al ran their elections by the book. There are procedures which the judges follow in resolving cases, and in this case, the procedure requires that plaintiffs in suits have standing to take action against defendants. There is indeed injury done -- the USSC action does not claim there was none -- but TX is simply not, in the view of most in the USSC, a legitimately injured party. Such a suit needs to be brought by someone directly tied to the states in question, at which point the court is satisfied and can take the next step.

Had the situation been reversed, we could expect the 3 liberal justices to vote their was standing as it sure seems they typically vote in unison. But Trump's picks are simply doing their jobs. We don't like the end result, but unlike the left, we, and they, are following the rules.

There are still active election cases before the USSC. The TX suit was certainly very prominent symbolically given it was the voice of a lot more people, but there are still others. Not that I'm holding out much hope, admittedly. Another flaw was that this type of suit challenging the change in wasn't brought before the court before the election. Waiting until after really puts the court in the place of cleaning up a mess after an election where the declared result wasn't favorable, when, as a matter of law, the fix could have been made before the election was held without risking disenfranchising those voters who voted by mail faithfully following the rules that PA et al set down.

The case does have merit -- the USSC did not state otherwise -- the only problem is the parties filing suit. Trump is simply a victim of their own honesty, which of course is not something the left ever has to worry about.

That is a good analysis, Neil. ;)
