Then smack it down, I don't like the supreme court making decisions out of political expedience as they did here (hint the last 3). Hell, these arent even states actually at each other, its elected state officials. Scotus needed to put case law with a ruling (this wasnt a ruling) in the books. There will be violence that could have been avoided. Outcome of the "case" would have been the same either way.

Their feeling is that since there's no higher power to appeal to, that they /have /to hear the case so that it gets heard. Thomas and Alito are in that school of thought, and that's why they expressed the opinion they did. My reading of it is that the only disagreement was whether to tell Texas to go away before or after they're allowed to file their complaints. Either way, the court unanimously told Texas to pound sand. The only way this is unclear is if someone willfully interprets it that way. If someone is inclined it interpret it that way, then they would have been unhappy with any outcome. There was absolutely zero chance that the Supreme Court of the US would overturn one state's election at the behest of another. Especially based on the argument that "their election processes hurt us." If they did that, then similar suits would happen every 4 years henceforth.
