Question about the SCOTUS and Pennsylvania

[Proud liberal 80]

So I just read that Alito moved up the PA response to the safe harbor day. My question is that if the SCOTUS does decide to invalidate Pennsylvania (I don’t trust Alito, Thomas, Barrett, kavanaugh or gorsuch) why would it matter if the other states are also passed that same date....yeah, it would suck and give Trump and his ilk something to rally on, but the other states would be decided.

Geez I am getting tired of this crap.

1. SCOTUS would only order the PA Supreme court to review the case.

And that's 5-2 Dem controlled.

2. They are not going to invalidate Pennsylvania.

4. The general consensus from experts is SCOTUS doesn't have jurisdiction, state matter only. Nt

5. The SCOTUS can do whatever the hell it wants...

...but the one thing they really can’t do is change electoral votes beyond 12/8.

I must admit I was worried about Alito changing the date, because why would they need to do somif they weren’t planning to intervene? But, for a proper election heist-by-judiciary, they’d need to make similar rulings in at least one and probably two other states – and, so far, I haven’t heard of them accepting any other such cases. If, say, they were to accept cases from Wisconsin and Arizona tomorrow, and order them to submit briefs by Tuesday as well, I’d say we should be concerned. Until then, not. And, keep in mind that, even if they do hear the PA case on Tuesday and issue an immediate ruling in Trump’s favor, there will almost certainly not be enough time left to hear any cases from other states at that time.

7. If there are 5 votes at SCOTUS to save Obamacare, there are 5 votes not to destroy US democracy

SCOTUS will not change the results in any state.

6. I am beyond livid

My “reasonable moderate” state rep is one of the 65 PA legislators behind this bullshit. My “rep” has the right to nullify my vote? Oh hell no.
