Regarding the Supreme Court ruling on the PA case. It was a 4-4 decision. Roberts joined with the libs, and Barrett recused, IIRC. Kavanaugh did not join with the liberals.
The Pubbies had asked for expedited hearing, but the Court stated that there was not sufficient time to decide this case before the election, and ordered the ballots to be segregated, and that judicial review could happen after the election.
So it was not based on merit, and Roberts was probably hoping it would be a moot issue after the election. Anyway, I agree with Levin, it’s pretty easy to know that the court and SOS had no authority to change the laws.
Barrett didn’t recuse, she hadn’t been seated yet.

I always wondered if Barrett got badgered into recusing.
She took the oath late October 26
October 26 The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania filed a motion with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting that Justice Amy Coney Barrett recuse herself from a high-profile voting rights case that could have a major impact on the 2020 general election.
She recused October 28...
