I like this precedent, it means fewer laws.
The US government was designed on the principle that deadlock and non-action is better than wrong action.

There is no way they want to get involved, the problem is, if the public refuse to back down which they are the court may feel forced to get involved lest things deteriorate further.

Seems like Louisiana might be joining the Texas lawsuit too.

The PA supreme court responses were fucking retarded.
This is the US Supreme Court tossing it out. None of them said anything against the PA Supreme Court.

It doesn't look like SCOTUS dismissed the PA case. They only denied a request for preliminary injunction. The case still looks active and pending.

Hmm. Who do I belive more?
It seems they did not shut the case down.

Zachowon, with respect, it took 37 days because of how much time between the election and the safe harbor date. Bush v. Gore was decided on the "Safe Harbor" day, December 12th, and part of the decision revolved around that very concept not allowing more recounts.
Long story short, it's kind of like a preliminary injunction that would have prevented PA from certifiying anything till the case itself went through the court system.

There is no mootness for this case since it involves a constitutionality question.
While the electors might end up picked before then, the question itself won't go away just because it happened.

Any ideas why they would do this? It seems likely to just complicate matters more then is wise or necessary.

Honestly the Texas case makes the PA one pretty redundant.
Because if they don't get it, and taken in a complete vacuum of no other cases or circumstances, then the electors are appointed and go on to appoint the president.
True, and Texas actually has much firmer grounds for this then Kelly.
