People love the idea of the free crap they're being promised by the democrat socialists. They don't understand what they're forfeiting in return.

It's sad to think that all the good things promised and accomplished by President Trump could be undone by obiden and his ilk.

It is most certainly on SCOTUS' docket: Texas v. Pennsylvania, et al. And they have demanded the defendant states file preliminary responses by today. Pennsylvania has, already. (It's ludicrous, IMO.) But it is my understanding SCOTUS has not (yet?) agreed to hear the case.

Wasn't it something like: drop the case or else. Or in other words, nice country you got there; be a shame if something happened to it.

What happens if the other three states don’t reply?

If the deadline is at 3:30pm eastern time then it looks like a little over and hour to go.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I believe it boiled-down to three arguments: "Lower courts have tossed similar lawsuits. Deciding in favor of the plaintiffs will result in distrust in our Constitutional order. If you don't toss this out there will be rioting in the streets."

my understanding of the confusing situation

Texas filed against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin (filed to Supreme Court)

Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, S Carolina and Utah filed to "intervene" and join Texas in the filing of Complaint

17 states filed an amicus brief supporting the Texas complaint

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

I believe there is a God and His hand helped form this country and that the Constitution is an inspired document. chellim1 was right that it's hanging by a thread.

I've said this before, but He gets a vote in this. He also writes things down, so when you look at the two sides, notice one side has states that stand with the Constitution and religious liberties, and the others are those who have been trying to destroy our country and closed churches.

The lines are drawn. I don't know if we win this case, but we are standing with God and the blessings He has given us. No matter what things aren't going how the other side is planning them.

This Texas suit, with the other states joining it, the amicus briefs and President Trump joining the suit did not all come out of thin air in the past week or so. Look at how well drafted the suit is compared to Sidney Powell's lawsuit that was cobbled together on the quick. You know a ton of people behind the scenes had worked on it, and knew well in advance what was going to happen. Maybe why President Trump has been going on about his business, calm confident, unfazed by everything, seeming knowing that he is going to remain in office.

**SNIP**

Amen. God is most certainly involved in this, and we are to stay involved by constant intercession and prayer that His will be done in all this.

This nonsense of the blue states spouting off against Texas and the Red States is no surprise. We've been seeing what people, states, and organizations really feel and where they really stand. The blue states have clearly taken sides AGAINST the rule of law, against the Constitution, against We, The People, and against God.

And, yes, He IS keeping a written record of everything that is going on right now. God remembers those who side with Him and those who side against Him.

Some other excellent news for this administration (unrelated to the election):

Morocco, Israel establish diplomatic ties, fourth Middle East deal brokered by Trump White House

'President Trump took a contrarian approach one that was different than, not just Democrat but also Republican administrations, just a different approach than the experts had been taking in the region, and the fruits of these efforts have been become very apparent' -Jared Kushner

By Carrie Sheffield
Updated: December 10, 2020 - 11:46am

Senior Trump adviser Jared Kushner on Thursday announced Morocco and Israel will establish diplomatic ties, the fourth Middle East deal brokered by the Trump White House in the last four months.

As part of this deal Morocco will establish full diplomatic relations and resume official contacts with Israel, and Morocco will grant overflights and direct flights to and from Israel for all Israelis, Kushner told reporters Thursday.

Morocco will also reopen the liaison offices in Rabat and Tel Aviv immediately with the intention to open the embassies in the near future, Kushner said, and they will also be promoting economic cooperation between Israeli American companies.

"This is really a great day for peace, a great day for Morocco, a great day for for America, a great day for Israel, and a great day for the world," Kushner said, telling reporters the deal came through by building a relationship with Mohammed VI, the king of Morocco. "We've been in contact with him and his team constantly over the last couple of years working through the different issues."

The White House told reporters that President Trump spoke with the king on Thursday, issuing a statement that "The US -Morocco friendship is rooted in our shared belief in the promise of peace, stability, and economic opportunity and has endured since Morocco became the first country to recognize the United States in 1777."

Trump also on Thursday issued a proclamation recognizing the United States' support for Morocco's autonomy over the Western Sahara territory, stating "Therefore, as of today, the United States recognizes Moroccan sovereignty over the entire Western Sahara territory and reaffirms its support for Morocco's serious, credible, and realistic autonomy proposal as the only basis for a just and lasting solution to the dispute over the Western Sahara territory. The United States believes that an independent Sahrawi State is not a realistic option for resolving the conflict and that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty is the only feasible solution."

Thursday's announcement with Morocco follows three other peace deals announced this year with United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan serving as the first Arab nations to normalize relations with Israel in over 25 years. Kushner and other Trump officials played a pivotal role in brokering those deals.

"Now we have peace sprouting in the Middle East, President Trump took a contrarian approach one that was different than, not just Democrat but also Republican administrations, just a different approach than the experts had been taking in the region, and the fruits of these efforts have been become very apparent," Kushner said. "But we also believe that there is a lot more fruits to come in the short, medium and long term."
