Supreme Court Rejects Radical GOP Argument In Shocking Decision
The court rejected the argument that only state legislatures have a say on redistricting and election laws.www.huffpost.com
"The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the radical argument brought forward in the controversial case of Moore v. Harper that state legislatures have the sole power to draw congressional district maps and set election law. The independent state legislature theory that Republicans in the North Carolina legislature wanted the court to adopt would give state courts no ability to rule on gerrymandered maps or other election laws that may run afoul of their respective state constitution. State legislatures, themselves often gerrymandered to give one party majority control, would then have free rein to draw congressional maps and set election laws without judicial checks and balances.
The court rejected this theory in a 6-3 decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts; Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined Roberts’ opinion. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented. “We are asked to decide whether the Elections Clause carves out an exception to this basic principle. We hold that it does not,” Roberts wrote. “The Elections Clause does not insulate state legislatures from the ordinary exercise of state judicial review.” This ruling is a resounding rejection of the far-right theory that has been peddled by election deniers and extremists seeking to undermine our democracy," Obama said."
Did Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh just betray America by siding with the Communist Democrats on what could be one of the most important Supreme Court cases in 100 years?? Do these people not know what they are doing? With this independent state legislature theory being struck down, that is going to make it harder for "real Americans" to win elections in the future...Do they want more insurrections? Because that is what is going to happen if we keep seeing these communist-marxist-transgender-pedophile Democrats win election after election. John Roberts basically agreed with Obama? Is he insane? Obama is a Kenyan Muslim terrorist who has destroyed our country; he knows nothing about the Constitution - and we have a Chief Justice that has sided with him?
Well, Bush did nominate this guy, so maybe we should have known then what type of radical Marxist, John Roberts would turn out to be. If red and purple states aren't able to overturn election results they don't like - how can they possibly win the White House in the future? Instead of storming the Capitol, maybe those J6 patriots should have stormed the Supreme Court.
Yes, they did.
You have to wonder when you're on the same side as an imbecile who doesn't know what a woman is
