Shutting off nonsense like this in all future elections concerning the House, the Senate, and the President is an important function for the Court.

Congressman-

What form would the SCOTUS ruling take that would shut off this nonsense in future elections?

I don't get it. The NJSC re-wrote a state law that was clear. What ruling by SCOTUS will stop a similar future State SC from doing the exact same thing?

A scathing opinion pointing that out.

[Congressman Billybob]

If the US SC says that state courts CANNOT rewrite their own state's election laws, that shuts off ALL such cases. And, since the US Constitution gives power over election laws to "the legislatures of the states," the US SC has a good reason to rule that way.

If you have any doubts on the subject, read the concurring opinion of the Chief Justice and Justices Scalia and Thomas in Bush-Gore, Round II. They spell it out in plain English.
