If the Supreme Court sides with Trump and his allies in Texas v. Pennsylvania, what happens next?
The big corporate news networks are trying to convince us that there is absolutely no way that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of President Trump and his allies in Texas v. Pennsylvania, but what if they are wrong? The case is on the docket, and the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin have been ordered to file their responses by 3 PM on Thursday. It appears that the Court understands the urgency of this matter, and they seem determined to move things along very quickly. One way or the other, we should find out what they are thinking fairly rapidly.
18 other states have now joined with Texas in arguing that the election results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin cannot be allowed to stand.
And the more I examine the facts, the more I am convinced that their legal claims are right on target.
Everyone agrees that officials in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin changed election rules without consulting their legislatures. But the Electors Clause of the U.S. Constitution gives state legislatures the sole authority in determining how electors will be selected. The rule changes that officials in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin made were unconstitutional, and they had a material affect on the outcome in each of those states.
Similarly, everyone agrees that voters and ballots were treated very differently in left-leaning portions of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin than they were in right-learning portions of those states. These are textbook violations of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Supreme Court would have to be completely blind not to see that.
If the Supreme Court is faithful to the U.S. Constitution, the voting results in all four states will have to be thrown out.
But what happens then?
Well, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is asking the Court to declare that all electoral votes from those four states should not be counted…
In the suit, Paxton asks the high court to “declare that any electoral college votes cast by such presidential electors appointed in Defendant States Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin are in violation of the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and cannot be counted.”
I do not believe that the Court will do that, because that would disenfranchise all of the legal voters in all of those states.
Alternatively, the Court could choose to direct the state legislatures in each of those four states to choose their own slates of electors, but I don’t think that the Court would be willing to do that either.
Instead, I believe that the most likely remedy would be new elections. That would be problematic as well, because the results of those elections may not be known before the electoral votes are supposed to be counted in Washington on January 6th. . . . .
