Some were due to lack of standing, some because the court felt it couldn't provide the relief being asked for, some for being moot, some because the evidence was insufficient.In the famous "Release the Kraken" case, the judge responded that you have affidavits from people swearing that they believe something could have happened, not saying they actually saw something. Belief that something could have happened is not evidence that it did. Like I believe Ken Hohhof is old enough to be the second gunman on the grassy knoll. I could swear to that in an affidavit, but that's not evidence that he shot JFK.On 12/14/2020 2:52 PM, Chuck Macenski wrote:Didn't they go to court in the states and lose?On Mon, Dec 14, 2020 at 12:45 PM Steve Jones <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:" I think the argument your making (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that they won't feel like they really lost unless they get to make their arguments in a courtroom and THEN lose. I'm saying they'll feel like they didn't really lose no matter what," Yes. but its separating the Tim McVeighs from the Housewife Bettys. So you have something like 80 percent of the trump voters thinking he was robbed (oddly enough a CNN poll showed 10 percent of democrat voters agreeing). Of that 80 percent, there probably 25 percent youre not going to get to ever listen to anything, theyre the ones who know alex jones is garbage but still listen to him, they also believe theres a pizza joint selling child sex slaves to rich people, theyre as bad as the cult of left 25 percent that still believe the russian collusion delusion. The remaining 55 percent will accept an actual case result from supreme court, as much as most of us dont care for unelected officials making decisions, the constitution matters. the biggest problem is that as we speak, the ilk of alex jones are onboarding them left and right. It doesnt help what West, who by most measures is respected (aside from bigot libs who call him Tom, but thats a whole other bucket of hypocrisy) is talking openly about constitutional secession, not new speak, but given the climate, a very bloody prospect. He would tone down with a legitimate, constitutional ruling. Without it, the scotus is literally saying there is no recourse against a percieved wrong in the united states, at which point, the 2A becomes active. Like it or not, this is what it is. Like I said, the ilk of mcveigh, weather underground, black liberation army, ted Kaczynski, theyre all going to do what they do, regardless I dont personally care either way, Ill survive the two years biden is a half threat, Im not opposed to reeducation being not illegal for a period either. I just cant tolerate coawardice at the supreme court (the 3 last placements), and I dont like living in grey areas and I dont like the likes of alex jones being given credibility to my mother.

Other cases were dismissed for a variety of reasons including the evidence being specious or deficient. That's losing. All of that is losing. If it was Steve Jones vs McCown Tech and it was dismissed then you'd say you lost. There'd be no doubt in your mind. I think the argument your making (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that they won't feel like they really lost unless they get to make their arguments in a courtroom and THEN lose. I'm saying they'll feel like they didn't really lose no matter what, and a courtroom just gives them another pulpit to preach from. If the evidence sucks, the arguments are illogical, and/or they're asking for relief that the court can't give them, then dismissing is the right move.

No one is saying hear every case, but cases of national importance and with immense national consequence need not ever be punted. The vast majority of pro 2A people understand the 2a isnt there for hunting game adn the lack of action on scotus part will result in action elsewhere. There will be blood over this, and its not necessary. Once scotus actually ruled after hearing the case, most would move on. The tim mcveighs out there are building their bombs regardless. But Jane Q would probably go back to canning beets. Instead right now shes listening to alex jones (why does covid take charlie pride, but not alex jones, somebody explain this) On Mon, Dec 14, 2020 at 11:18 AM Adam Moffett <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: If they heard every argument and /then/ dismissed it, isn't that just a different kind of political messaging? Expedience mattered in this case because the EC vote was imminent. I realize there are nutters who will rationalize the outcome as "we were right, but the court didn't want to hear it because of a technicality." But if they went all the way through with it the same people would come up with some other reasoning why they actually were right. There are still people who insist Nixon was framed, and people still think Iraq had functional WMD's. Forevermore there will be people who believe Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election, and nothing the court says will ever change their minds. Losing in court >50 times didn't matter to them, why would one more? I'm ready for "justsumname" to pipe and prove me right.

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.
