UPDATE: Reactions starting to come in, and Rep. Lauren Boebert isn’t going to let some silly U.S. Supreme Court tell her what’s what:

I told the president to keep fighting & use every bit of authority our Constitution grants.

That GED Boebert got in May is sure getting a workout.

In a 7-2 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court puts an anticlimactic end to the misbegotten case of Texas v. Pennsylvania:

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting on the narrower question:

Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. See Arizona v. California, 589 U. S. ___ (Feb. 24, 2020) (Thomas, J., dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.

We’re awaiting local reaction and the inevitable Twitter meltdown from soon-to-be-ex President Donald Trump.
