Everybody talking about all these #ActivistJudges and #JudicialOverreach with the #SupremeCourt, as if we haven't seen this before, but I still remember the tragic day when the judge refused to sign the legislation that would allow more than eight #JanMichaelVincent s to a precinct, dooming us to be trapped within a dark cycle where Jan Michael Vincents are used up in this post-apocalyptic hellscape that is our 16 quadrants... 😪
The mask is off
All that #Textualism and #Originalism and high-minded-sounding #OriginalIntent schtick was a premeditated #Federalist / #GOP lie
The Constitution is now open to interpretation that is entirely fluid, situational, and expedient
Any position taken by the #Republican party is subject to alteration or erasure as needed, as situations change
It's far right #SCOTUS #ActivistJudges all the way down from here on out
Just going to drop my pinned-post boilerplate from yesterday into this:
The #SupremeCourt is working exactly as #LeonardLeo and the #FederalistSociety intended
The mask is off
All that #Textualism and #Originalism and high-minded-sounding #OriginalIntent schtick was a premeditated #Federalist / #GOP lie
#SCOTUS is now situational, relative, and expedient in one direction only

"I 100% believe this is a fatal gut shot to any sort of coherent, stable federal governance"

If a #Republican bellows that you do something, understand that they intend to do that thing which they accuse you of doing.
"This decision is now vacated by a Republican-controlled Court seeking to ensure that extreme partisan gerrymanders favoring Republicans are established," wrote Earls, who was joined by Justice Michael Morgan.

The 2 #Democrats on the court pushed back against the #Republican majority's decision & characterization of the case. In their dissenting opinion, Justice Anita Earls said that through the earlier ruling that's now vacated, "a Democratic-controlled Court carried out its sworn duty to uphold the state constitution's guarantee of free elections, fair to all voters of both parties."
