38. The Court's Decision in This Matter Will Be Earthshaking Either Way
If the Judge accedes to the argument that the House has usurped the authority to determine who was "officially elected" and now the state court has no jurisdiction --then all future elections to federal office are merely perfunctory since the Federal Government can swear in whoever they deem "elected." Voting at the polls will of no consequence.

If the Judge rules that the state has the power to determine who was "officially elected" as a representative of the people to the Federal Government as set out in the Constitution, then appeals will naturally follow and the Supreme Court will eventually decide this important issue. Even with the makeup of the SCOTUS it is highly unlikely that it will come down on the side of the Federal Government in this matter.

THere are no other options here, and literally the states' rights as set out in the US Constitution are at stake. Democracy as we know it is will be decided.
