The motion out of Texas is to get leave for a hearing and to stop the electoral college from meeting on Monday. The only way the latter happens is if the motion is granted and a hearing is set. The relief sought won’t be granted ex parte. And there’s no time for a hearing before Monday. Not anymore.Dear Internet:#SCOTUS doesn't move fast. Ever. The fact that it hasn't said anything yet about Texas's overturn-the-election suit is evidence of exactly *nothing*, and folks telling you otherwise are wrong. The anxiety is understandable, but don't read things into silence here.

The Court acts in its own time. Not acting rapidly is acting. The Court was unlikely to enjoin the College from meeting. It is certain not to overturn the College after a vote required by law and the Constitution.
This mess will end as expected. And then the problem will be all the House members who violated their oath of office by supporting this thing.
I get it. But it’s a matter of definition, isn’t it? Is this court action really that frivolous? Or is it something that should be taken seriously? Maybe it’s time to quit downplaying what these people are up to?Look, I get it, but the answer to performative pseudo-legal system-undermining nonsense is not "more of the same." https://t.co/6YLzbO7bvp
