[QUOTE="SimplyMe, post: 75591419, member: 9588"] As I stated, it was definitely covered by the "Mainstream media," as others have agreed. As for the legal analysis, I read several -- on both sides. Again, for most the Supreme Court's decision was considered the most likely -- Texas didn't have standing, period. And, as I mentioned, everything that Texas was claiming in the lawsuit had already been argued in court by the Trump campaign, and they had lost. There were a few rather partisan "experts" who thought that the Supreme Court would listen to the evidence and rule for Trump. I couldn't agree, from what I know of the law and the Supreme Court. Texas has no right to tell other states how to hold their elections, nor does the Supreme Court -- the Constitution leaves that to the states. As such, the Supreme Court -- particularly a conservative court that believes in state's rights -- was not going to tell states they know better how an election is done than the state the election occurs in. Now, Justices Alito and Thomas believe the Supreme Court is obligated to take every state v. state lawsuit, so voted to hear the case, yet even they felt the need to say that they would not have granted Texas any of the relief they wanted (they would not have ruled for Texas). When a ruling is that one sided, if a "legal expert" told you the Supreme Court might rule for Texas, I would submit they aren't the "experts" you should listen to. [/QUOTE]
