Today the Supreme Court hears arguments in a case that could upend democracy. I argue that for somewhat base reasons, they won't.

Today in the Supreme Court, cynicism = optimism

The Court seems unlikely to upend democracy - but the reasons may surprise you

I do think Roberts and Barrett do want to maintain their power to intervene in elections like Greek Gods.

But if this disgraceful theory fails, I think it's because the GOP no longer controls the state legs in MI and PA -- so it's not as attractive.

Thanks, voters!

@adamburck @lolgop FYI, you can go to the settings for your account and flip a switch to auto reveal CW content. The local mastodon feed gets shorter content but you (and I) don't. Everyone wins.

@grumps @lolgop I don’t think the iOS app can do that, but anyway better to solve problems at the source, no?
