Could 17 State AGs persuade the Supreme Court to rule against Biden?

...and the voters of this country?

It appears they may get the chance?

I suppose Ted Cruz will be leading them in their argument?

How much pressure can they put on the Court?

1. No.

2. Please read this from Constitutional Scholar and Univer of Tx Law Professor Vladeck

It should reassure you (and everyone)

17 states and Trump join Texas' lawsuit. It's still a doomed Supreme Court stunt.
When (not if) the Supreme Court slams the door on this contemptuous Texas case, the collateral damage will be to the reputation of the courts.

3. No. The Supreme Court does not respond to pressure.

Either there's a legitimate legal argument or there isn't; and in this case there isn't, no matter how many craven GOP attorneys general join in the case.

4. The one thing that gives me hope is that

SCOTUS is a lifetime appointment. What are they going to threaten with? What pressure can they really bring?

7. My fear is the rumors that Biden will pack the courts

thereby quashing Biden's election win.

9. There is a legitimate argument to be made to have one justice for each of the circuit courts

so 13 should probably be the number, but without the Senate (and with Manchin, we don't have the senate even if we win the two GA races), it's a non-starter anyway.

5. Putins men are at full force.

I say let us take a close look at those red state elections too?

6. If this court rules to install Trump, the United States is finished.

8. That's a

big "if". There will be violence no doubt.
