Sure they are. They know that the USSC will dismiss the case. So it's an empty gesture of loyalty.17 States Join Texas in Supreme Court Lawsuit Against Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Over Fraudulent Election
UPDATE: 18 States Join Texas in Supreme Court Lawsuit Against Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Over Fraudulent Election | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

If the previous 52 court applications were not successful, how the fuck is this one going to be successful?
Given how insultingly stupid the Texas lawsuit is (we're talking that the fact they filed it is a demonstration of power in that "since no one with the ability to tie shoes would believe this, making people support it is to show how dominant we are" kind of way) the question is are these other states GOP officials joining because they know it will fail and it is just "virtue signalling"/shibboleth kind of behavior or is it worry about the threats they are receiving?A number of states have joined Texas to support its election lawsuit:

17 states in total have submitted supporting briefs.
17 states and Trump join Texas request for Supreme Court to overturn Biden wins in four states

Or, worse, is it they just genuinely believe that laying the groundwork for "if the Democrats win, it is by definition Fraud" is worth it to destroy democracy going forward? Purely ideological, in other words?
The 74 million votes that Trump got don’t mean a lot when Biden got 80 million.
I’m saying that not all 74 million voted Trump, many just voted Republican.
Not sure what your point is. He lost to Biden by 7M votes. Was there a point? If your point is that he got 74M votes in the face of all of that adversity I agree that is quite impressive. A very sad commentary of the state of the US but impressive nonetheless.

Trump loses again. The Arizona-kraken goes down in shame.
Those judges just don't get it. They aren't supposed to judge them on facts or evidence, only on whether their theories of fact or law appear rational.
Federal Judge in Arizona Dismisses Third Limb of Sidney Powell’s Post-Election ‘Kraken,’ Which Was ‘Sorely Wanting of Relevant or Reliable Evidence’
I mean, listen to this guy, he thinks that they should be ruled by evidence and the law, not theories or gossip.
It means that DO (D'oh) has nothing to rebut with, otherwise he'd use it.
Pundit points out that USSC actually does not have jurisdiction to hear the Texas-kraken and it is foredoomed to be kicked out without even getting into procedure, standing, mootness, laches or evidentiary issues.
Any or all of the above.
Since it is a pile of shit supreme, cheering it on has no more validity that wishing your neighbour's dimwit kid success on his hopeless application to Harvard Law when everyone in the room knows the little moron got D's in community college last semester. You pose as supportive and friendly and pick up some buddy-points and it really doesn't matter fuck.
Rudy and his crack team of lawyers will look like shit on a stick in a few days with so much failure, but they will have accomplished their job.
They will have helped sow enough doubt that Trump's base will back contesting the election in every venue.
The only one left that could get interesting is when congress and the senate sit to certify electors.
Politico lays out the process, yet another one that has never been tested the way it will be this year.
Its worth a read.
How Trump’s Hill allies could take one last shot to overturn the election
It's deeply unlikely to succeed, but some House Republicans are weighing an effort to challenge Biden's Electoral College win.

Texas AG Paxton filed the case because he's under indictment:
"Paxton has been under indictment since 2015 on securities fraud charges relating to activities prior to taking office; he has pleaded not guilty.[3][4] In October 2020, several high-level assistants in Paxton's office made allegations accusing him of "bribery, abuse of office and other crimes".[5][6][7]"
Thus by doing Trump's bidding in such a high profile public way he's getting on Trump's radar for a pardon.
The lawsuit is more bizarro than the usual meritless lawsuits.

Can he get pardoned for crimes that are still in court?
Sounds like he's not that bright.
Is that what you think every time someone quickly takes their leave from you at a social event? That they simply have no answer for your iron clad and forceful opinions? If so, you're missing the point.
What debate do you think I'm engaged with in this thread? My bet is that you don't even know.
The last and saddest kraken of them all, the WI kraken is jeered out of court by disdainful judges.
Dutch, my bet is that YOU don't even know what debate your engaged with in this thread.
But tell us again how the judges all got "laches" wrong and you got it right. That was a good one.
