⚖️JUST IN: New amicus brief from 106 Republican House members in support of Texas' bid to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's win in the Supreme Court. Here they are👇

🚨"This brief presents [our] concern as Members of Congress, shared by untold millions of their constituents, that the unconstitutional irregularities involved in the 2020 presidential election cast doubt upon its outcome and the integrity of the American system of elections."

A lawyer repping PA's SecState Kathy Boockvar, Daniel Donovan of Kirkland Ellis, taking lead for defendants

It appears Rudy Giuliani will do the same for Trump campaign

The hearing concerns defendants' motion to dismiss and will center on Trump campaign's equal protection claim

⚖️🏥 Let's do a MEGATHREAD while we wait for arguments to begin in the big GOP challenge to ObamaCare at SCOTUS, shall we? (you can listen to it on CSPAN at 10am, fyi) (1/x)

Three issues:

(1) standing,

(2) did the '17 Trump tax bill, which zeroed out the tax penalty for not buying health insurance, render the individual insurance mandate unconstitutional?

(3) if the individual mandate IS unconstitutional, must the entire ACA be struck down?(2/x

Let's deal with those in turn

(1) Standing — This is a question of whether a plaintiff has the right to sue. Among the various limits to this right is the Constitution's requirement that courts only hear "cases or controversies." More on that here—> law.cornell.edu/wex/standing

Per below, top Republicans don't actually believe the vote was subject to fraud but are pretending to for political expediency. They fear that saying Biden won will alienate Trump's base ahead of critical GA elections and cost GOP their Senate majority washex.am/35bemGB

⚖️Reminder: The Justice Department, on behalf of the Trump admin, will join a group of GOP states at the Supreme Court tomorrow to urge the 6-3 conservative court to strike down ObamaCare in its entirety

From a preview story I just filed:

The political ground has shifted at an astonishing rate since the justices agreed in March to take up this latest Republican challenge to the ACA. (2/3)

Since then, the country has gone from enjoying historically low jobless numbers and registering fewer than two dozen coronavirus cases, to seeing millions of newly unemployed Americans lose job-based health coverage and more than 10 million infections across the U.S. (3/3)

This rather chilling prediction comes from an email exchange I had in SEPTEMBER with a former top Pentagon official who served in high level govt roles in several previous admins:

“The period between November 3 and January 20 promises to be the most anarchic in our history...

...”Whatever the outcome is, it will be regarded by a significant portion of our population as illegitimate.”

⚠️This is why it’s important to push back against false allegations of widespread voter fraud
