The voting rights legal community is holding its breath these days for the moment when the U.S. Supreme Court formally announces whether it will take a case that could fundamentally transform the way election laws work.
asserts that state legislatures alone — without the checks and balances of state courts or state executive branch officials like secretaries of state — are in charge of congressional and presidential election rules in their states.
Why do states have constitutions if they can just be ignored when inconvenient?
are often eager to throw aside the will of their voters in favor of their own political whims
Do they want people to storm their state capitols?
Because they will.
Because these are Republican operatives, and this is what the rightwing has been working toward for decades…stacking the Court, which has heretofore been the last entity which stood between the rightwing politicians and total takeover of all power.
Anyone still wondering whether it truly is ALL about Great Replacement and their recognition that democracy is now an existential threat because they face Demographic Armageddon should come away from this thread with all of that made perfectly clear from here on out…
“We are pretty but we are pissed off.”
That doesn’t even make sense to me. So if they were ugly it wouldn’t matter? Pretty women aren’t usually angry about something or other but these pretty women are?
Even funnier is all the menfolk mansplaining to the pretty little womenfolk.
We know how the corrupted court will rule.
And pathetic “women” who stood still for mansplaining without spitting in their faces.
Hard to believe anyone would put up with that shit.
“It comes out of nowhere, and has no basis in history or practice.”
This is the motto/mantra of the modern Republican Party
Gawd, don’t let my MAGA neighbor in Detroit see this. She lives for shit like this
Do we? 4 expressed some openeness doesn’t seem like a sure thing. Gorsuch (who pushed thru recognizing half of Oklahoma including Tulsa as an Indian reservation) loves stuff like this, but I tend to think the rest would pull back. Maybe I’m wrong. Guess we’ll find out all too soon!
Gee, I thought ol’ Crackhead Carl would blame the killings on The Clintons!
A fourth justice, Brett Kavanaugh, wrote, “the issue is almost certain to keep arising until the Court definitively resolves it.”
154 days until the midterm election.
There’s a lot there to choose from, so
God, I fucking hate this timeline.
So, I wonder how they’d interpret this slightly edited version of Alito’s dumbf*ck statement?
