A number of Republicans who signed their names to the amicus transient for the Texas lawsuit understood it could doubtless rapidly be shot down by the Supreme Court docket and solely seen it, like many different issues in Trump’s world, as a loyalty take a look at. However Trump advised folks he thought he’d prevail.

Republicans have enraged their constituents by signing on to the lawsuit that they knew was a joke. They’ve probably jeopardized their seats as calls are growing for the House to vote not to seat them. They did all of it to feed Donald Trump’s delusions.
Trump by no means had an opportunity of successful the Texas lawsuit. States cannot below the structure inform different states the right way to run their elections. States have the ability to find out how their elections are carried out. Trump can’t ask for votes to be thrown out as a result of he’s upset that he misplaced.
That’s not how the constitutional separation of powers works.
By enabling Trump’s delusions, Republicans are each jeopardizing themselves and democracy.
This time democracy received.
