Regarding the Supreme Court, Dick Morris says an unsayable truth.
By Andrea Widburg
Friday night, the Supreme Court’s rejected Texas’s case against the disputed states for “lack of standing.†There are a lot of theories for this decision, but Dick Morris said the unsayable: The Supreme Court was intimidated by the Democrats’ promised court-packing scheme.
The Texas lawsuit went directly to the Supreme Court because it is the only court that can litigate a dispute between two states, and therefore has original jurisdiction for such disputes. Texas’s claim was that the defendant states, by violating constitutional mandates for conducting their elections, injured Texas – which used legal means to vote for Trump – by fraudulently handing the election to Biden.
The Supreme Court, by a 7-2 margin, swiftly rejected the case:
The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.
excerpt:
“The Supreme Court is after justice, of course, but primarily they are after making sure the Supreme Court survives – that’s their institution and that’s their duty,†Morris told Saturday’s “The Count.†“I believe the Supreme Court was sent a message by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party during the election.
“And the message was: ‘If you overturn this election, we will pack you, and make your Court basically meaningless.’â€

“And just ask yourself: Who raised the issue of Court packing? We didn’t. Why would the Democrats raise an issue that was hurting them? We would never bring it up; we never thought of packing the Court. They did.â€
Morris concluded, “it was a systemic effort, that succeeded, to intimidate the U.S. Supreme Court.â€
