1. Wasting state resources during a surging pandemic is evil.

It's nothing but pure evil. I don't have any other name to call it.

2. I hope the collective response is something like this:

Distinguished Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States:

This is baseless, frivolous, and consists of nothing but a waste of your time and our time. Plaintifrf's quest for headlines cannot be allowed to be confused for a quest for justice. Their BS suit is based on their hope that you don't see through the smoke, and think there's something there. You are being asked to re-write state laws after the fact, and only in states they lost. They might as well ask you to retroactively void and rewrite all passages in the constitution that deliniate States' Rights. This is simply nothing more sophisticated than an attempt to sway the election of November third, 2020, in enough states, from the winner to the loser. We submit that a pretext so preposterous is not even worthy of anything other than outright dismissal. We are, of course, prepared to proceed if you should disagree.

The fact that Paxton is under indictment and looking for Trump's pre-emptive pardon can hardly be used in the argument, but it will be on everyone's mind, with the possible exception of Clarence Thomas, whose reaction would probably be, "and what's wrong with that? He's a Republican, after all!"
