"Texas's effort to get this Court to pick the next President has no basis in law or fact... The court should not abide this seditious abuse of the judicial process, and should send a clear and unmistakable signal that such abuse must never be replicated."

-PA AG Josh Shapiro
"This court has never allowed one state to co-opt the legislative authority of another state, and there are no limiting or manageable principles to cabin that kind of overreach."

-State of Georgia officials
"Federal courts...like state courts, lack authority to change the legislatively chosen method for appointing presidential electors..federal courts, just like state courts, lack authority to order legislatures to appoint electors without regard to the results..

-Ohio AG Dave Yost
"States handle their own election laws and voting, and you can make claims of constitutionality in that state in lawsuits. But I've never seen something like this," he said. "So I don't know what the Supreme Court is going to do."

-Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn
"... a dangerous violation of federalism and sets a precedent to have one state asking federal courts to police the voting procedures of other states."

-Texas Republican congressman Chip Roy

@FutureOnFire @livingarchitect @spaceengineer14 Thread (1/n): A little history background is needed here because it's not taught outside of Mexico. In the 19th C migration from central Europe replaced the Spanish after 1821. Starting in the 1830s French migrants came in first, followed by Italian and German migrants...
@FutureOnFire @livingarchitect @spaceengineer14 (2/n) Latin America received migration from Central Europe too. That coincided with the industrial revolution. Mexico was invaded by the French if you recall. An Austrian prince, Maximilian was installed as Emperor in the 1860s when Mexico was already a Republic ( Benito Juárez)
@FutureOnFire @livingarchitect @spaceengineer14 (3/n) The issue is that this migration after the French left accelerated toward the late 19th century. Leaders like Gen. Porfirio Díaz who fought the French became impressed by the progress brought about by Maximilian. Like Meiji in Japan, Díaz decided Mexico would modernize too Image
