Its not whining, you are missing completely the point. But that's ok I am used to that here. The point is the rule of law in elections in particular is now meaningless... our Republic is indeed in a bad place.

its not a matter of the Republicans getting the decision their way next time, who's sitting on the bench should not be deciding elections, and that is clearly the path we are on... representative republic is nearing its end. Do not confuse observations with whining.

I am not whining that the Dems subverted the law, I am observing the rule of law is now null and void especially in the matter of elections. That is a horrible thing, and is larger than any one party.

I absolutely agree with you. There is a bigger picture than just this election. The problem with the SCOTUS not taking the case is, that we no longer have the threat of recourse. For this state, NJ, it appears that we may have been better off not even making the appeal. At least before, we had the perception of the moral high ground.

That has been lost in this case and in the future, any state with an activist court is now fair game for all kinds of election and voting statute mayhem.
