Ruh Roh in California

Judge rules Newsome overstepped authority changing voting laws. Whats coming?


Nothing is coming. It has zero effect on the 2020 election. The judge ruled that the Executive branch did not have the authority to change election law , even during the pandemic. It is the legislative branch that has that authority. A few days after Newsome issued his order in June the Calif. legislature passed the change themselves.

flew over your head I guess. I wonder if they changed voting laws anywhere without going through the legislative branch.

If you are trying to say this affects Pennsylvania, it doesn't. The State Supreme Court did not change election law, they simply extended the deadline by three days. Courts can provide injunctions, and extensions, it's part of what they do.

Again, if the Pennsylvania Supreme Court didn't feel they had the authority to extend the deadline for accepting ballots, they wouldn't have done so a month ago. Unlikely they are going to look at the lawsuit, slap their heads, and say "duh, had a brain fart there, we better change it back and invalidate all those ballots from people who at the time were following the election rules."

I guess I need to end this nonsense.

The state supreme court is the highest state court in the U.S. state court system. State supreme courts primary responsibility consists of correcting the errors of the inferior state courts. It exclusively hears appeals on legal issues from inferior state courts. Since it does not make any finding of facts, it holds no trials.

State supreme courts have a panel of judges appointed as per rules outlined by each state constitution.

State supreme court’s interpretation of any state law is generally final and binding to both state and federal courts. Federal courts may overrule a state supreme court decision only when there is a federal question which springs up a federal jurisdiction. An appeal from any state supreme court decision concerning matters of federal jurisdiction shall directly lie to the supreme court of the U.S. State supreme courts exercise both mandatory and discretionary review of appeals from trial courts.


So you see, when the Penn Supreme Court throws out Trumps lawsuit, it ends. States run all elections. the laws in question are state laws, there is no question of federal jurisdiction. Remember, they are not electing a president, they are electing State of Pennsylvania Electors. It's all about Pennsylvania, nothing federal. SCOTUS can't and won't touch it.

you went through alot of trouble to potentially be wrong. So Alan Dershowitz thinks it highly likely. You know, the “nonsense” you think you can end.

There is a reason Alito has already intervened ordering ballots to be segregated. Only a fool would think there isn’t a possibility of Scotus involvement. Derp

IOW, you had to google to see if what you claimed in the previous reply was correct.

It wasn't. That's why both Alito on behalf of the SC and another judge stepped in to slap down the state SC and tell them to separate the ballots that shouldn't have been accepted because they were received past ED.

There's two wins in PA alone. I thought dems told us Trump was 0-16 in the courts? Still wondering what lefty blog gave them that figure that they have been running with.
 
Its really not that hard. Article 2 give all the power to the state legislatures. When a state court usurps that then they are in violation of the COTUS.

SCOTUS can intervene when PASC usurps the state legislature role. Will they? Remains to be seen.

Article 2
Article 4
