Something from my friend at We The People USA.
Interesting take on a case before SCOTUS.

By Oren Long;
Please forward the following far and wide.
Article One, Section Four of the Constitution states, "The times, Places, and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof, but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators".
There is much to say about this.
First, A1/S4 does NOT say that state governors, courts, or other state officials can veto or overrule the legislature's rules governing the electoral process. ONLY the legislature makes the rules! Said rules are NOT subject to judicial or executive review, scrutiny, or veto -- PERIOD!
Second, we all know there were a lot of Democrat shenanigans in the 2020 election, including drop boxes, mail-in ballots, and door-to-door ballot harvesters, all of which OBVIOUSLY gave the election to Biden.
Third, every State has election law dictating the "time, manner, and place" of elections. In all cases that I know of, including swing states, ballots are cast in specific "places, manner, and times" within specific precincts -- period! IF a voter in unable to comply (military, traveling businessmen, officials, etc.) they can apply for an absentee ballot.
Fourth, there are NO legislature-approved provisions for drop boxes, generalized mail-in ballots, door-to-door ballot harvesters, or extended voting times/days.
Fifth, ALL voters (except authorized absentees) MUST go to the appropriate voting place, be checked in as an authorized voter, receive a ballot, fill it out ON THE PREMISES, and return it to a poll worker or put it into a counting machine -- PERIOD!
Sixth, yet in the 2020 election, governors, secretaries of state, and courts (NONE of whom have ANY constitutional authority) UNLATERALLY imposed drop boxes, mail-in ballots, ballot harvesters, and extended voting days, in open defiance of the clear and succinct language of Article One, Section Four.
Seventh, the second part of A1/S4, ". . . but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations ..." has been INTENTIONALLY misread and misinterpreted by Democrats. The intent of the Founders (read the Federalist Papers) was to forestall one or more States from imposing 'dictatorial' rule in defiance of the Peoples' freedom and right to vote. So, they added the above to give Congress the power to shut down any such option. It's that simple.
So where am I going?
There is a case pending before SCOTUS, filed by multiple States, asking SCOTUS to rule on the [aforementioned] unconstitutional shenanigans by various states. Under SCOTUS rules, it takes four Justices to force SCOTUS to take a case. Inside scuttlebutt is that four conservative Justices want the case. At this point, SCOTUS may well take the case. With the current 6-3 conservative majority we would have an excellent chance of quashing said electoral B-S.
If SCOTUS takes the case, I find it very hard to imagine how they could rule that governors, state courts, and other state officials can unilaterally overrule the clear and succinct language of the Constitution.
Hopefully, If SCOTUS takes the case, they could give it "expedited" status and issue their ruling before the mid-terms. IF that happens, Democrat hopes of retaining either/both the House and Senate could be crushed!
I sometimes think that one of the classes in law school is "How to get around the Law as an attorney". Who knows?
I also find is curious (though not surprising) that the MSM is totally silent on this potentially blockbuster case.
Your thoughts,
Oren

I think it important to acknowledge that the Constitution was created not for the exclusion of unification, but rather to establish it, and in so doing bind the states into a single cohesive nation rather than a group of individual colonies that considered themselves sovereign above anything else. If that were to be the case then why have a Constitution at all? Congress would not be necessary, nor would the Presidency, and neither would a Supreme Court.
That is one point that must be made if we are to be a Nation.
Secondly, I am not disagreeing with Oren. I wish only to point out that the Court does not make law, it is to rule as to whether a law made by Congress is Constitutional in its effect upon the Nation.
Currently, it seems to me that our system of government is largely broken, or in such disarray, that it no longer functions as to what was purposed by the United States (key word is United) and its Constitution. Politics is our governing authority, and not the Rule of Law. As a result we are experiencing confusion, and confusion is the soil that corruption thrives in.
A Court guided by political purposes no longer functions as a Court of Law. The real issue that needs attention is to address whether or not our elections have been so compromised by corrupt and dishonest people that they are no longer reflecting the will of the public, the purposes of American citizens. If not, then we no longer have a Representative Republic. We are victims of lawlessness.
Part of my view. I could go on and on. Thanks, Oren.
