Independent State Legislature Theory

[Conservative from Georgia]

Are you serious??? The job of the judiciary is to interpret laws and determine and determine if they are constitutional. In the case of conducting elections, the U.S. CONSTITUTION gives that authority SPECIFICALLY to STATE LEGISLATURES. Unless the state legislatures violate some other provision of the U.S. Constitution (e.g., 14th Amendment), they are free to act as they see fit. In that event the federal (not state) judiciary should make that determination.

To argue that state legislatures can't pass new laws and/or replace old laws without judicial permission is ridiculous, particularly when they are exercising authority specifically and solely granted to them by the Constitution.

You must be very worried about losing your power to influence election results.

If the courts don't keep the republican-majority legislatures from passing these egregious laws , who will ?

Are you a legal scholar or just a partisan hack? Never mind. I know
