I thought Barr was considering appealing to federal courts?

The Barr case in Texas is over. Since it went straight into the Texas Supreme Court, there is no place else for it to go. But it’s not over in the sense that we are still waiting for the Texas Supreme Court to issue an opinion explaining its reasoning, which (when it comes, which might be months and months away) will be very interesting and probably useful.

If the 5th circuit sides against Moore, wouldn’t that help the Barr case in TX?

I certainly hope so.

I am optimistic that Brian can win his appeal in the 5th circuit. The 5th circuit consists of only Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Most of the judges on the 5th circuit are Texans. They will probably be aware that Texas let the Dems & Reps slide for several days, and that will help.
