The Supreme Court isn't going to hear Texas's suit. They've already strongly signaled that by rejecting the Pennsylvania suit without any dissents; Texas is basically trying to sue Pennsylvania for the same things, again.


You're mistaking the Pennsylvania Supreme Court with the U.S. Supreme Court. Don't feel bad, The New York Times is perpetuating this confusion.

No, you're misinformed. The (Federal) Supreme Court rejected the Pennsylvania case unanimously.


That's correct. It's the "Miscellaneous Order" on 12/08/20 here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/ordersofthecourt/20

No I believe it is true that a plaintiff from Pennsylvania who was suing Pennsylvania was denied in the SCOTUS, but this was after Texas files their suit which was more inclusive, so the two might relate.

Edit: SCOTUS declined to hear that case, possibly in anticipation of hearing the Texas one instead, possibly because they intend to hear neither.


You can believe what you want, it's (for now) a free country. But the SCOTUS has not ruled on anything yet.


Not what I said.


You edited your post. How about some good faith here?


To clarify. But I never said what you thought I said.
