Correct, ultimately. SC taking cases that leap frog states’ systems is rare. This case is rare, all right, but can be overturned within New York. If it gets kicked back, I’m not sure that would bode well if it gets before SC after the state appeals have been exhausted.
This case is rare, all right,
**************
Its not just rare; it was extraordinary. The political implications are obviously profound here and there are numerous grounds for appeal. Not to mention the highly questionable legal procedures.
If our legal system cannot find a timely way to redress such an obvious case of politically driven injustice, and indeed outright conflict of interest by the presiding judge, then there’s little hope preserving any semblance of integrity in our elections. If this case is not quickly overturned, it will in effect set a precedent for future lawfare of this kind.
