BREAKING: Pro-Trump Lawyers See Hope In Texas Lawsuit \u2013 MORE States May Join<\/h1>\n

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton took the legal world by storm Tuesday with a 92-page, 8,961-world Supreme Court filing to challenge the results of the 2020 election. Lawyers across the political spectrum reacted over Twitter with joy and dismay over the surprising strength of its claims.<\/h3>\n

As National File previously reported<\/a>, the crux of the lawsuit is that the swing states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin violated their duties under the US Constitution by illegally altering election procedures in violation of their own laws.<\/p>\n

This not only includes allegedly unconstitutional acts by legislatures and executive fiat, but also \u201cfriendly lawsuits\u201d where Secretaries of State would engage in settlement agreements with Democrat groups which illegally bound their states to a wish-list of left-wing election tweaks.<\/p>\n

The theory goes that the Constitution is a compact whereby states agree to conduct their elections according to the rule of law and, if one state fails to do so, it harms the other states. As such, the Supreme Court is the only appropriate venue to litigate such disputes and the only possible remedy is a contingent election in the US House of Representatives, which President Trump is projected to win<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The case is officially docketed with the Supreme Court<\/a>, which has original and final jurisdiction over the matter. That means that the litigants do not have to file for a writ of certiorari and that the Supreme Court is obligated to consider the case on its merits.<\/p>\n

The defendants\u2019 response is due Thursday, December 10th by 3pm ET.<\/p>\n

National File also reported that Lousiana is joining in the Texas lawsuit<\/a>, but more are coming in by the hour. The Attorneys General of Alabama<\/a>, Arkansas<\/a> and Missouri<\/a> have all tweeted out their intent to join the fray.<\/p>\n

Top constitutional attorney Robert Barnes, who went viral in mid-November for publicizing a crowd-sourcing archive of 2020 election fraud evidence<\/a>, released a 15-minute video highlighting the reasons why he thinks the Texas lawsuit is Team Trump\u2019s best chance of overturning the disputed results of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

Calling it potentially \u201ca complete gamechanger\u201d, Barnes laid out his reasoning:<\/p>\n

If the Supreme Court is going to get involved, the Texas case is far more likely the case to do so than any other case. The reason for that is because the Texas case presents an easy means for them to resolve the issue without getting into the kind of nest of issues that the other cases attract. It also allows them to do sort of a one-stop-shop case to resolve all of it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
