Buh, bye. Loser.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

This evening, an order at the United States Supreme Court in the election case Texas filed against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The court denied the complaint for a lack of standing and “All other pending motions are dismissed as moot”:

7-2. Alito and Thomas. Go figure.

So much for pandering right wingnut “constitutional scholars”.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

Today, at the United States Supreme Court in the election case Texas has filed against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – right wingnut members of Congress (bless the State of Missouri) filed an Amicus brief:

[….]
Amicus U.S. Representative Sam Graves represents the Sixth
Congressional District of Missouri in the United States
House of Representatives.

Amicus U.S. Representative Vicky Hartzler represents the
Fourth Congressional District of Missouri in the United
States House of Representatives.

Amicus U.S. Representative Blaine Leutkemeyer represents
the Third Congressional District of Missouri in the United
States House of Representatives.

Amicus U.S. Representative Jason Smith represents the
Eighth Congressional District of Missouri in the United
States House of Representatives.

Amicus U.S. Representative Ann Wagner represents the
Second Congressional District of Missouri in the United
States House of Representatives.
[….]

Maybe Billy Long (r) was sleeping.

Representative Billy Long (r) [2016 file photo].

….Pursuant to subparagraph 2(b) of Rule 37, amici U.S. Representative Mike Johnson, et al., hereby move the Court for leave to file a brief amicus curiae in support of Plaintiff Texas’ Motion for Leave to File a Bill of Complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction….

….On the merits, this amicus brief defends the constitutional authority of state legislatures as the only bodies duly authorized to establish the manner by which presidential electors are appointed, one of the central issues in the pending litigation. As members of the federal legislature, these amici seek to protect the constitutional role of state legislatures in determining the manner by which states choose their electors….

Uh, no. Texas wants to impose the will of its Attorney General (r-pardon me) on other states and their legislatures.

….These amici appear as 106 Members of Congress and respectfully request that this Court uphold the plenary authority of the state legislatures to establish the manner by which electors are appointed, and determine the constitutional validity of any ballots cast under rules and procedures established by actors or public bodies other than state legislatures….

….National polls indicate a large percentage of Americans now have serious doubts about not just the outcome of the presidential contest, but also the future reliability of our election system itself….

That’s some serious Chutzpah. Who was it who “cast doubt”? We’ll wait.

Besides, opinion polls don’t decide elections, voters do.

….Fortunately, the Framers of our Constitution provided for this moment. It is now the duty of this Honorable Court to objectively review the facts presented by the Plaintiff in this historic case, render judgment upon the unconstitutional actions in the Defendant states, and restore the confidence of all Americans that the rule of law will be upheld today and our elections in the future will be secured….

They’re that stupid. And they believe everyone else is.

They want to disenfranchise millions of voters.

That’s some serious shit.

And a waste of time.

Go to this website and see your friend Vicky listed as an ALEC alum.  Also my own Blaine Leutkemeyer and Kansas City’s Sam Graves.  These are all people who sucked at the teat of ALEC’s cash cows and are now paying their dues.  It’s much worse than fighting the light bulb thing.  They literally want to destroy our country – one mine, one drill rig, one poisoned farmfield at a time.
