We are getting closer to a decision from the Supreme Court on the pending original jurisdiction matter of the State of Texas v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania et al. The first important hurdle that must be crossed is whether the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case under the authority of Original Jurisdiction.
From the article linked above:
The next several days might prove to be highly revealing, following today December 8th. Examine some steps in sequence, which reveal the concept of Original Jurisdiction. Within the concept, the Supreme Court could likely preside over the election results, or guide its final determination.
[…] Next comes the ingenious part, calling into usage the principle of Original Jurisdiction. It kicks into gear when two or more states are locked in a dispute, whereby the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to gather and hear evidence much like a trial court.
If that threshold is met, the Supreme Court will hear the case and rule on it.
Our President has moved to Intervene in the Texas Supreme Court Case.

At this point in time, 18 states have joined the Texas lawsuit.
From the article linked above:
After a year that saw the nation racked by COVID-19, it just may be 19 red states that help redeem it.
Texas was joined in its lawsuit against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia by more than one-third of America’s states that seek justice.
Then Arizona’s AG issued a controversial statement, along with its announcement that it would likely file an amicus brief if SCOTUS took up Texas’s case.
Let’s take a look at the justices that will determine the fate of our country and our President. I am REALLY excited by the fact that 3 of them worked to support GWB when his case went before the Supreme Court in 2000.
From the article linked above:
Three who assisted Bush
Chief Justice John Roberts
[…] Roberts flew to Florida in November 2000 to assist Bush’s legal team. He helped prepare the lawyer who presented Bush’s case to the Florida state Supreme Court and offered advice throughout.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh
He was also in private practice in 2000 and helped the Bush legal team. He wrote on a 2018 Senate questionnaire that his work related to recounts in Volusia County, Florida.
Judge Amy Coney Barrett
Barrett wrote on the questionnaire she submitted to the Senate for her Supreme Court confirmation review, “One significant case on which I provided research and briefing assistance was Bush v. Gore.” She said the law firm where she was working at the time represented Bush and that she had gone down to Florida “for about a week at the outset of the litigation” when the dispute was in the Florida courts.
On the bench
Justice Clarence Thomas
He is the only remaining member of the five-justice majority that resolved Bush v. Gore. Thomas joined the unsigned opinion that said Florida had run out of time to recount disputed ballots without violating the constitutional guarantee of equal protection.
Other conservative justices
Justice Samuel Alito
[…] Pressed on what he thought of the outcome, Alito begged off, saying, “I have not studied it in the way I would study the issue if it were to come before me as a judge and that would require putting out of my mind any personal thoughts that I had on the matter.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch
Like Kavanaugh, he worked in the George W. Bush administration and was appointed by Bush to a federal appeals court.
When then-Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, asked Gorsuch about Bush v. Gore, he responded, “I know some people in this room have some opinions on that, I am sure, Senator. But as a judge, it is precedent of the US Supreme Court, and it deserves the same respect as other precedents of the US Supreme Court when you are coming to it as a judge.”
Our President is absolutely right!
Chief Justice Roberts’ cannot be counted on! We have seen to many instances where he was the swing vote against our President.
Justice Alito and Thomas are no brainers in my opinion. I LOVE the fact that Justice Kavanaugh and Barrett worked as part of GWB’s legal team in 2000.
The wildcard for me is Justice Gorsuch. I believe in my heart that he wouldn’t screw over our President and our country. He was the first justice appointed by our President.
Over the next week or so, we will know the final outcome.
