Yes. Gore v. Bush was a state law case (it was an appeal from the Florida State Supreme Court) that went up to the SC. It was not a case about one state suing another, i.e. Texas did not sue Florida. Standing was not the issue in Bush v. Gore. The issue was equal protection because there was no procedure in place to figure out hanging chads and because the court determined that there was insufficient time to grant relief even if a procedure could be figured out.

Ironically, the holding in Bush v. Gore actually helps Biden because the holding that there wasn't enough time to make changes creates precedent that the Court will the dates in federal law and are not going to alter them. Also, the Court made the decision to not invalidate Florida's election, but instead said that the count would stay as-is since it couldn't be fixed in time. That help's Biden's argument, not Trump.

Thank you for your reply... will dig around a bit and consider what you shared. Haven't had time to look at the pdf documents.

the dude is talking out his ass and doesnt know whats going to happen. hes a fucking shill on this board.. and is not a lawyer.

also much of what he is telling you isnt even true about the bush gore lawsuit, the scotus did in fact rule on it, but gore conceded so the action was not required. The court however DID RULE THAT EQUAL PROTECTION WAS REQUIRED AND NOT GIVEN!!!! this means the court ruled in TRUMPS FAVOR (since trump/texas are raising the EXACT SAME ISSUE!!!) - in that lawsuit and lawyer42 is blowing smoke up your ass as he always does since he is a shill and not a real lawyer.
