The Supreme Court isn't going to hear Texas's suit. They've already strongly signaled that by rejecting the Pennsylvania suit without any dissents; Texas is basically trying to sue Pennsylvania for the same things, again.
- disgrunt 6y agoYou're mistaking the Pennsylvania Supreme Court with the U.S. Supreme Court. Don't feel bad, The New York Times is perpetuating this confusion.
- whiddershins 6y agoNo I believe it is true that a plaintiff from Pennsylvania who was suing Pennsylvania was denied in the SCOTUS, but this was after Texas files their suit which was more inclusive, so the two might relate. Edit: SCOTUS declined to hear that case, possibly in anticipation of hearing the Texas one instead, possibly because they intend to hear neither.
- disgrunt 6y agoYou can believe what you want, it's (for now) a free country. But the SCOTUS has not ruled on anything yet.
- whiddershins 6y agoNot what I said.
- disgrunt 6y agoYou edited your post. How about some good faith here?
- whiddershins 6y agoTo clarify. But I never said what you thought I said.
- twentydollars 6y agoNo, you're misinformed. The (Federal) Supreme Court rejected the Pennsylvania case unanimously.
