The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Lets not forget that the evidence regarding many "X" events was never evaluated by the court because the case was dismissed for lack of standing by the plaintiffs.

Not for any of the Trump cases.

Third parties often don't have standing in disputes over the elections process. But the major-party candidate always does. All of the allegations about the counting of the ballots could have been brought by Trump and/or the GOP as the party. Every single one of them.

So the state of Texas, as a state, doesn't have standing to challenge the election results in Georgia (to use one example of a case dismissed on standing). But all of the candidates in that Georgia race absolutely had standing. So if there was any evidence that an "X" event had happened in Georgia, then Trump's lawyers could have run to the courts with it. They didn't, because no "X" events actually happened in Georgia - the reports of them happening were lies, and those lies ended up costing Rudy Giuliani....well, everything.
