Exactly! Zero, Zilch, Nada!

I've been waiting for some legal minded commentators to explain the scope and effect of that case!!!

It is small and limited to one issue Paxton sued on. See my other post. Otherwise the media would be having a hissy-fit.

Are we talking about the same thing? A trillion dollar vote by a House lacking aa quorum, in fact, less than 1/2 present? That is small one issue.. I would say the only issue

I'm with you on this, as usual. I can only think that Paxton felt he had a chance of success if he made it about specific ramifications to the state of TX.

"When President Joe Biden signed the illegally passed law, Attorney General Paxton sued and sought an injunction against the implementation of certain provisions of the law affecting the State of Texas." Here is the decision -

This is from Ken Paxton's office (and I find it sort of misleading as to what TX and no one else gained) - https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-wins-case-challenging-17-trillion-federal-funding-bill-passed

STANDING!!! But if the quorum rule was violated, why in holy hell does that not apply to the entire thing? Said before, SCOTUS decisions today depend on headlines, not the Constitution

Everyone, including the Robes, work within the unconstitutional political framework.

I keep grudgingly in mind that the Chief Judge is reportedly good friends with the Globalist Bushes.

The "Robes", include the Leftist "Supremes".

I opine that all legal entities hailed from oligarchies where all “rights” and property were handed down from monarchs with lawyers evolving as their representatives and ultimately representing them in the courts. Lawyers then turned the law into an inhouse operation with game rules they contrived leading to the point where King Ferdinand forbade them from coming to the New World colonies. I wish our Founders had arrived at this conclusion and reinvented the law to be one contrived for and by the people rather than adapting a hand me down system inherited fromKing George

WHERE was "Speaker" Johnson in all this?

He wasn't Speaker. The omnibus was passed in 2022. Included in the bill was the American Rescue Plan which gave a total of $350 Billion to the States. You can see how much each state was allocated in this link. Sorry about who operates its.
