RE “Why would the Supreme Court be concerned with electoral margins? I thought the court’s responsibilities had to do with the letter of the law. “
Not any supreme court that has ever existed. Even Scalia has had his weak moments like Bush vs Gore which was not constitutional, read Levins book.
So noted, and I will definitely read Levins book.
This is depressing news. I thought because these were life appointments they could ignore politics. Naive of me.
