    I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised by this ruling. The way the court was leaning, I was fully expecting them to uphold the Independent State Legislature theory. And I’m extremely glad they rejected it, as it would have opened the door for MAGA-leaning state legislatures to unilaterally overturn their states’ election results, which is utterly terrifying.

      I think the supreme court very much rules with it’s own relevance in mind.

      Too much fuckery and the party in power will start supporting things like term limits and court packing.

      There needs to be at least some fuckery, though, just to ensure the free yacht vacations and rent free homes for their moms don’t disappear.

          Started probably earlier than that, at least according to MajGen Smedley Butler

            I was actually trying to reference what your talking about and wildly botched the years…

      I’m not sure that door is closed but at least it will still be subject to judicial review if they try it.
