Patriots across America were disappointed in the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday evening to dismiss a landmark legal challenge in which Texas and 17 other states sued the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin for unconstitutionally changing their voting rules to facilitate mail-in voting. This was through the courts and the executive branch, instead of through their legislatures — a violation of the Constitution’s Electors Clause.
Supporters of the suit, filed on Tuesday by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, hoped it would have resulted in the overturning of allegedly fraudulent votes in those states, which were ostensibly won by Joe Biden, in order to open a pathway to victory for President Donald Trump.
Yet the nation’s highest court determined that Texas lacked standing in the case.
“The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution,” the statement from the court read. “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.”
The statement flies in the face of both the law and logic. As Texas asserted in its filing, the interest is in the integrity of its own elections; if the four defendant states unconstitutionally change their voting procedures and thereby create an outcome that swings the election in one direction, that is something that not only affects them and their residents, but the entire country.
The fact that the court refused to hear a case that, because it involved one state suing another, should have had original jurisdiction with them, was nothing short of a dereliction of duty.
President Trump lashed out at the court after the news broke, even drawing attention to his own nominees — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett—who sided against hearing the Texas case. Only Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas said they would have allowed the Lone Star state to proceed with its lawsuit.
It’s a rude awakening for millions of Americans, who see the mounting evidence of voter fraud, yet also see those in authority, especially in the court system, unwilling to do anything about it. It highlights how corrupt and indifferent to their responsibility most public servants are.
But what are the people to do? Will we just lie down and make way for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to usher in socialist tyranny?
Never!
Americans must continue to fight for their country. We cannot allow a defeat in one battle to poison us with discouragement. So long as we have breath, there is opportunity for victory. Defeat is only certain when we resign to inaction.
The election battle is far from over, and won’t be until and unless Joe Biden is inaugurated and enters the White House. The Texas case only arose on Tuesday. Just as quickly as that development took place, other maneuverings can occur between now and January 20 that may result in a second Trump term.
Attorney Sidney Powell, formerly of the Trump legal team and still involved in fraud-related lawsuits around the country, made it clear in an interview with Lou Dobbs this week that still more information about election shenanigans via voting technology will be coming out.
“They designed and developed the Smartmatic and Dominion programs and machines that included a controller module that allows people to log in and manipulate the vote even as it’s happening,” said Powell. “We’re finding more and more evidence of this. We now have reams and reams of actual documents from Smartmatic and Dominion including evidence that they planned and executed all of this.”
Lawsuits are still going on. The Wisconsin Supreme Court, for example, has taken on a case by President Trump’s legal team, seeking to have hundreds of thousands of ballots in Democratic Dane and Milwaukee Counties thrown out, even after a circuit judge dismissed it.
The president himself on Saturday made clear that this isn’t the time to throw in the towel.
Even if Biden becomes president, that doesn’t mean it’s all over. Whether the federal government under Biden attempts to force socialism on the people via executive order or legislation (in the case that Democrats capture the Senate), it will be incumbent on the states to exercise their right to nullification of unconstitutional actions by Washington.
Far from being the end, this is just the beginning of a long-haul fight for our republic. Now is the time for Americans to begin putting pressure on their governors, state legislators, and local officials, telling them that they must refuse to implement unconstitutional laws, regulations, or rulings from Washington.
Ultimately, it will likely be at the state and local level that the battle must be fought— and won.
