This is SCOTUS right now, and also a whole lot of SCOTUS's from yesteryear.

There are many, many more but I just got tired of typing hashtags. See Legacy Museum, Montgomery, Ala., for a more complete list of crap decisions

The decision didn’t just pick the president—it also, in installing George W. Bush, allowed him to reshape #SCOTUS. As younger lawyers, 3 of the current #GOP-appointed justices aided Bush’s Florida legal team in the run up to #BushVGore [#AmyConeyBarrett, #JohnRoberts & #BrettKavanaugh]. Another, #ClarenceThomas, was part of the decision’s majority.

In Aug, #SCOTUS used its #ShadowDocket to allow #Arizona, a key swing state, to require proof of citizenship w/ voter registration forms at the request of the #RNC.

But perhaps least known—& yet, most important—was #MooreVHarper, a 2023 ruling in which the court set the stage for the next #BushVGore scenario by holding that the justices themselves would have THE LAST SAY when it comes to questions over state-level #election rules & disputes.
