Robert ReichWe’re about to witness one of the most important cases ever to come before the Supreme Court.
Moore v. Harper could let extremist state legislatures disregard the popular vote and choose their preferred presidential candidate.
That's not hyperbole.
TheRealRKG365@rbreich so far, courts have been upholding the rule of law and the basic tenets of Democracy. Praying that SCOTUS sees this case in the same light. We already have a working system: if there are irregularities, they are investigated. If there is criminal activity, it is adjudicated. Fact-free beliefs have no place in the courtroom or the election boards!
DaisyDog@TheRealRKG365 @rbreich I cannot see how a court could decide in the favor of ‘Independent Legislature’ in a case which determines the continuation of a practice of voting customary for over two centuries. Asserting the rights of states’ legislatures to ignore the courts which interpret the law unbalances the tripartite system completely in an unprecedented way. Anyone with a background in law could make this argument.
