Bazz from what I gather the standing technicality was that there needed to be a voter claiming injury in the suit.
I think that's a pretty pithy excuse to dismiss but it's the one they utilized. I fail to see why a state sincerely acting on behalf of it's people could be considered to have no standing to do so.

Aidan, No. Indeed I do believe Trump by far is the better option for the US and the rest of the world right now. Mostly because his motivation supersedes the pursuit of wealth. Biden I'm not so sure about. I get the sense he's just an avatar somehow. Frankly I believe Sanders was a more genuine candidate, and he's a raving socialist. Properly briefed with sound information I expect he'd have done the right thing when the need arose.
Biden was propelled past Sanders fraudulently as well by the way.
But now it's bigger than any single candidate. Make no mistake, what we're witnessing is a coup against the American people. 74000000 people, possibly even 100000000, have been told their votes don't count. They're finding out they have no recourse through the courts as well.
This in essence is a fort Sumter level event. More than that they're right back to taxation without representation.
It shouldn't worry us but because we rely on the US so much it does.
I don't believe most of the people who took part in the electoral fraud realised the gravity of what they were doing. I expect most were just excited to be helping get rid of orange man.
I don't know what happens next but my understanding is, if this can't be cleaned up through conventional legal processes the President is obliged by oath to take action to clean it up.

Dear David,

.

The long-shot case initiated by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (who is currently under criminal indictment on securities fraud charges) was a last-ditch legal attempt to upend the presidential election on behalf of President Donald Trump, who supported the case.

The effort garnered support from more than a dozen Republican attorneys general as well as more than 100 Republican members of Congress. Paxton brought the request directly to the Supreme Court through "original jurisdiction," which allows the high court to hear cases regarding litigation between states that don't go through lower courts first.

The US Supreme Court judged as follows :

"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 order wrote. "Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its election. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot."

Here is the definition of the word “moot” by the American legal online dictionary law.com :

« adj. 1) unsettled, open to argument or debatable, specifically about a legal question which has not been determined by any decision of any court. 2) an issue only of academic interest »

As a fervent supporter of “Donald the dictator” it is not surprising that you find this judgement unsatisfactory.

I now await your response to my previous post which you subjected to comments on what you considered to be “the major claim” in your article.

Hi jamo

Your "Berlin Bunker" delusional support for Trump is showing.

Where you write "I don't know what happens next but my understanding is, if this can't be

cleaned up through conventional legal processes the President is obliged by oath to

take action to clean it up."

Trump is obliged by oath to uphold the US Constitution.

The US Supreme Court, which is the ultimate interpreter of the Constitution, has knocked back

Trump's spurious legal claims.

SO Trump is not "obliged by oath" to renounce the Constitution by launching a COUP.

Has their been a bigger idiot than Trump with his total disregard for democracy.

No worries Joe.

OLO's Trumpets rarely rise above the comic.

These sad chaps, in their sad Dec-Jan disillution, are increasingly recognising Trump's

Germanic, Big-Lie, similarity to Hitler.
