If you take a step back, this is actually a great ruling by SCOTUS.

1. Because the US Constitution gives plenary authority over elections in each state, SCOTUS is telling the states to DO THEIR JOB. As a consequence, it requires engaged citizenry to speak to their elected representatives— and not just rely on a quick fix. As it should be.

2. SCOTUS is not about to open pandora’s box allowing other states to sue other states when they have the means to rectify lawlessness. So in essence, their ruling strengthens the Republic. It requires us to learn and participate.

3. I disagree with Dr. Turley concluding SCOTUS doesn’t want any part of this. No, the ruling signals that if you want SCOTUS to rule on a constitutional issue, you must “COME CORRECT”. These have already been refiled in each of the four states in question, with Donald Trump and citizens of that state.....and they most definitely have standing. SCOTUS will hear the merits of this case.

Correct. Roberts bullied our newly minted junior justices with the guilt trip of “Do you want to be responsible for the riots if we hear this case. To which Kavenaugh and the liberals smiled in agreement, Barrett and Gorsuch agreed without a smile. Thomas and Alito were angry. Thomas replied “This is the end of the Democracy, John.”
If one who claims to have been on the other side of the door is to be believed. Shocking report, if true, and Im a believer.
But I disagree with Thomas, it’s the end of the currently constituted court, but far from the end of Democracy. This court is dead. Roberts papp about riots is pure papp, we know he’s compromised. The shocking part is the three Trump appointees know he’s compromised, they know they had/have a duty and opportunity to uphold and defend the Constitution but chose not to. Why? The big why. The unknowable why. If asked they’ll lie.
A country of laws, not of men need and require a back stop, for there will be different ways of skinning cats. We have to have somebody to call balls and strikes. But we’ve demonstrated that this current framework of life time appointments to shed the appearance of politics is unworkable, we’ve proved in that in so so many ways.
Do we impeach this crop, plant new ones and hope and pray for fidelity to the Constitution ? Lol.
This court is dead, no opinion they come up with will have any respect. The court is being weaponized for a democrat advantage, like so much of the rest of government.
Now what?
