JB@peterbutler @GottaLaff Unlike the House GOP, the #scotusgop knows not to let something come to the floor before they locked up the votes.

Steve HerseyIt's weird, and very telling, that a SCOTUS Chief Justice feels the need to publicly justify his actions in a majority opinion. (Soon after another justice preemptively attacked a critical ProPublica report by using the WSJ as a forum.) This is NOT a normal Supreme Court!
What Roberts wrote: "It has become a disturbing feature of some recent opinions to criticize the decisions with which they disagree as going beyond the proper role of the judiciary,"
What he was thinking: "We have a majority now, and we'll bloody well go as far beyond our proper role as we want. You can't stop us, ethics and precedent be damned!"
Tom von AltenGood god. Can you imagine the #GOP heads exploding if one of the liberal justices had pulled something like this?

nanowiz#bigoil CEOs must be furious. They've been buying politicians for four decades. But the payoff at the #scotusgop is moot on this one!

US Supreme Court rebuffs Exxon, Chevron appeals in climate cases
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear bids by Exxon Mobil Corp <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/XOM.N" target="_blank">(XOM.N)</a>, Suncor Energy Inc <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/SU.TO" target="_blank">(SU.TO)</a>, Chevron Corp <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/CVX.N" target="_blank">(CVX.N)</a> and others to move lawsuits filed by state and local governments accusing the oil companies of worsening climate change out of state courts and into federal courts.
Todd Edwardson@Nonog my crystal ball tells me exactly what will happen next. Wait for it…nothing. #scotus #scotusgop
voodooAn ascendant illiberal Right is using the courts as a vehicle to dismantle pluralistic society — and democracy more generally — in service of their project to enshrine elements of fascism and Christian nationalism in our institutions.
Instead of thinking about how to steer the Court’s power back in favor of liberals, it might be time to think about ways to just restrain the Court’s influence altogether.

The potential consequences of attempting to establish permanent minority rule through the Independent State Legislature Theory could be devastating. If Americans are denied the right to a peaceful resolution to political issues, then violence may become unavoidable.

The case before SCOTUS today, Moore v. Harper, could be the end of the line for American-style democracy.
The “independent state legislature theory” would empower state legislatures to overturn the will of the voters in any election.

The justices will test the "independent state legislature theory" in a case that could have far-reaching consequences for elections.
