I think that's the ballgame

 

[VIDEO] Well this last ditch hail mary filed by the Texas Attorney General that I've written about on this blog has went up in smoke. The Supreme Court of the U.S. has decided not to take this case and it's not on the merits basically it's on standing. If you want to know more read this piece by the Volokh Conspiracy.

Texas basically has no standing to seek relief of the actions taken by Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as far as their selection of presidential electors and the Volokh Conspiracy even admitted that Attorney General Paxton has some weak arguments.

Well in my mind, I just decided that was the ballgame. What else could be done at this point, though according to the above 40 minute video from Newsmax there are other cases pending in those same states. It's still not over, but as I've been saying the clock is beginning to tick.

Electors are expected to vote formally on December 14th - hey my birthday. And then the US Congress will ultimately certify the results of the electoral college on January 6, 2021. Much weirder things could happen such as faithless electors, a Congressional dispute over the election or even more a longshot perhaps another court ruling.

I think Trump's best bet in reversing the results is somehow getting the US House of Representatives involved and getting a contingent election. Of course that will only happen if somehow Biden fails to win those 270 electoral votes he needs to clinch the presidency. If TX vs. PA had went forward that was likely a possibility as a result.

Either way what I'm seeing on Twitter or Instapundit comments tonight is a tad disheartening. People are talking about taking up arms, and people are talking about the death of the American Republic. Whether or not Trump wins or loses if we don't want the vision of the "progressive liberal" Democrat Party we should do what any American should do and that's continue to fight. 

We don't want socialism or defunding the police or just general lawlessness because authorities won't uphold the US Constitution we must continue to fight. Fighting means many things I know, however, if you want to run for office get started. If you want to start a campaign of civil disobedience get started. And if you want to use the tools of the internet - and depending upon your platform that can be an uphill battle especially talking about social media - get started and be that voice in the wilderness.

As I've said, I don't relish a Biden/Harris administration. If it comes to pass four years will be here before we know it!
