I'm a little confused on how leave to file works both in this case and in general. Are you saying that one of the parties involved can move to have the case tried in a lower court? How exactly would that work? Especially since 16 other states have joined Texas.

But regardless, the big implication here has less to do with whether or not the case will be heard and more to do with the fact that, because it was docketed on the 8th, the election results--vis-a-vis the electors--will no longer be considered conclusive.

Incidentally though, what's the official process for SCOTUS deciding to hear a case? Is there some kind of codified protocol?

So you didn't know.....That makes me sad. Especially since you voted for Trump.
