However, while his rhetoric about the Supreme Court “chickening out” is certainly overblown,
the President is correct that it did not consider the evidence of fraud.
Quote:Some context is required here. When a plaintiff files a lawsuit – and this is not just true of election cases, by the way – they must convince the court that they have a right under the law to do so. The legal term for this is “standing”.
If the plaintiff does not have that right, the case fails at the first hurdle and everything else becomes irrelevant. That is what happened here.
Texas was trying to sue four other states – Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin – over their handling of mail-in ballots for the presidential election.
Under the US Constitution, however, each state gets to decide how it runs its own election. Texas might not like how, say, Pennsylvania chooses to do things, but legally it has no say on the matter. The only way to challenge Pennsylvania’s rules is from within Pennsylvania.
This works both ways. Democrats in California, for example, could not sue Texas for something like voter suppression. It’s none of their business.
So, Mr Paxton’s lawsuit did not get far enough for any of its claims to be considered. The Supreme Court ruled Texas had no standing to bring the case in the first place, and that was that.
This result was not remotely surprising to America’s legal experts, who predicted it pretty much unanimously the moment Mr Paxton launched his lawsuit a few days earlier. It was never going to end any other way

Why didn't you post the whole section that sets out why the Supreme Court rejected the whole argument....Texas had no standing to sue as was explained in the full text....Are you trying to be deceitful Bobby or were you trying to pull a Swifty???
