Summary

Texas this week asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its complaint that the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin unconstitutionally changed the rules in the run-up to the Nov. 3 presidential election.

Does the Texas lawsuit make a legally sound argument, and how likely is it that the Supreme Court will hear it?

President Donald Trump also asked Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to argue the case since he is a former solicitor general of the state. How likely is it that to happen, and what could it mean?

Hans von Spakovsky, manager of The Heritage Foundation’s Election Law Reform Initiative and senior legal fellow in Heritage's Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to answer these and other questions about Texas/ complaint.

We also cover these stories:

President Trump announced Thursday that diplomatic relations are being restored between Israel and Morocco.
Former Vice President Joe Biden has chosen Susan Rice, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations and former United States National Security Advisor in the Obama administration to be his director of the White House Domestic Policy Council.
Senator Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, is calling for a special counsel to be assembled to investigate nefarious business dealings made by Hunter Biden, former vice president Joe Biden’s son.
