THE COUP D’ ETAT AGAINST AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
The Attorney General of the State of Texas, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit at the US Supreme Court seeking to overturn the results of the presidential elections in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. The frivolous lawsuit was a brazen coup attempt against American democracy and its institutions.
Last night, the 9 justices of SCOTUS unanimously dismissed the case in a ruling that states:
“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.”
In an amicus brief, 126 Congressional Republicans signed on to the Texas lawsuit. Listed below are the names of the co-conspirators in the attack against the American ideal. These coup plotters must be remembered for what they are; cowardly insurrectionists who, in fear of Donald Trump’s tweet, plotted to overthrow the results of a presidential election simply because they don’t like the outcome.
May their names be forever etched in the chronicles of infamy and calumny. When people remember them, let them shake their heads and spit out their names.
