Basically, respect.
Texas has a Constitution, and it regulates how elections (local, state and federal) will be held. Each Texan can expect that the weight of their election affair....matches up with 49 other states.
Texas believes four states hold a unfair or corrupted 'deck of cards' in their hand, with four state Constitutions dictating how to run an election, and how the four states avoided that written process.
The Supreme Court? They have a very unique situation brewing and they don't have six months to go and do research over this.
Solution 1? You throw the case out and just say 'screw it' to Texas. Texas starts a mess on 4 January that can only lead ultimately to succession or a massive change in US government.
Solution 2? You admit the four states violated their state Constitutions, and corrupted the legal framework of elections....so that the other 46 states hold a 'bad hand' of cards. Then you throw out the results of the states....suggesting that whatever number the state says they have....isn't a factual number. This brings everything to 4 January, when the new House arrives in DC, and they vote state-by-state.
Appealing to the Supreme Court? No. Either way....you lose. Riots start up and the talk of succession goes to the next level. Most important case of the court since the 1850s? Probably so.
