The Supreme Court rejected the independent state legislature theory in a bombshell decision Tuesday, turning back a right-wing attempt to vest the sole power in administering federal elections with state legislatures.

While the decision is reassuring, I’m not shocked in the wacko descents. This super majority court is Trumps legacy and will only get worse if he’s re-elected or another R is elected. The conservative Christian agenda is still very much in play. Dobbs was 50 years of decided law and was gone in an instant, because of Trumps judicial appointments.
