About the Texas Lawsuit

Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, is under a federal investigation and would love a presidential pardon. His lawsuit is just more performative leg humping by someone desperate to curry favor with President Trump.
The various attorneys general who have joined his lawsuit all want to either get re-elected or seek higher office. Joining the lawsuit gives them some measure of ring kissing or protection from any rabid Trump supporters who wanted a “just fight” moment.
I personally think my company should pay me workers compensation for brain damage for having to read that lawsuit and related filings. It really is one of the stupidest bits of performative leg humping we have seen in the last five years. These attorneys general are willing to beclown themselves and their states all to get in good with the losing presidential candidate.
The suit is absurd on its face. These states seek to interfere in the internal affairs of other states when those states are not actually electing the President, but allowing their voters to chose members of the Electoral College.
Were this to succeed, which it will not, the states will start suing each other at every election as a bit of theater.

Best summary of this ridiculous piece of garbage "lawsuit" I've yet read. Political theater, nothing more. Hopefully, SCOTUS won't just do the one-sentence denial on this one, but will do a scathing statement about its absurdity and its threat to democracy.
