Letters from readers: Rutherford was within his rights Letters from readers Rutherford was within his rights Wow! Two letters came down pretty hard on our Congressman John Rutherford (and 120 of his Congressional colleagues) for supporting the lawsuit filed by the Texas Attorney General in support of President Trump's unsuccessful efforts to reverse the results of the presidential election. I have to admit that I myself was relieved that the Supreme Court ruled as it did, because our country faces challenges aplenty that must be focused upon and addressed now. But we should note that the Supreme Court did not address the merits of the lawsuit itself one way or the other except to rule that the State of Texas did not have the legal standing to file the claim on behalf of voters in four other states. One writer went so far as to describe the lawsuit as "un-American" and "lawless" and evidence of "disdain for the Constitution." Win or lose, what, may I ask, is un-American or lawless about taking a case to the Supreme Court? How is that showing disdain for the Constitution? Seems to me it is following the Constitution. Congressman Rutherford has nothing to be ashamed about.
