Back in November, Trump said his lawyers told him he 'didn't have standing' in a 'big beautiful lawsuit that covers everything.'That's because only lawsuits by States against States qualify for ORIGINAL, rather than appellate, jurisdiction in SCOTUS. So a STATE could file the 'big beautiful lawsuit' but the President could not. In addition, you can't introduce evidence in the Supreme Court! And damn if every lower court so far has refused to let that evidence be heard. BUT There IS a time when the Supreme Court can consider evidence in the first instance: When it hears a case in which it has ORIGINAL, not appellate, jurisdiction. And that's the case we woke up to this morning. This lawsuit, at this hour, draws on all the information, evidence, data and legal missteps of the previous cases - Do you think it's a coincidence that Texas filed midnight before SCOTUS was to consider PA's case? No way.
