The Supreme Court of the United States on Friday evening released an unsigned order tossing the State of Texas’ lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Georgia, State of Michigan and State of Wisconsin.

The lawsuit, filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, sought for SCOTUS to block the 2020 presidential election results in those swing states.

President Donald. J. Trump indicated he would intervene in the lawsuit, calling it “the big one.” Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) had reportedly accepted the president’s request to argue the case if the Supreme Court agreed to hear it.

However, that potential scenario has now been quashed.

The Court’s order began, “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. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot,” the order added.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

Alito, with Thomas joining, wrote, “In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.”

Five Alabama congressmen and Attorney General Steve Marshall (R-AL) had joined amicus briefs in support of Texas’ lawsuit.
