Democracy lives another day!

The Supreme Court rejected the independent state legislature theory 6 - 3

The North Carolina Supreme Court was acting within its authority

Moore v Harper is done

Luxury contestants Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito dissenting – presumably via Skype from a mega-yacht off Costa Rica

By the way, if I hear one more male call Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett moderate I’m going to mace them

Show threadMikeJun 27, 2023

@flexghost @noondlyt really? seems a little sexist to me.

Seems to me you shouldn't care about the gender of the people calling them moderate! Mace them all equally

@flexghost @noondlyt MODERATE?

You've got to squint pretty hard and lie to yourself like a champion to make either of them moderate even on the US political spectrum. Mace them. Mace them good.

It’s pretty clear Alito and Thomas just really dislike democracy as a whole.
Show threadMrShoggothJun 27, 2023

@flexghost - Wow. Barrett and Kavanaugh didn’t get offered any jet rides this year, huh? Phew.

I mean sure, the Independent State Legislature crapola is the stupidest legal theory in history, including Pleshy vs. No Backsies, but they could have joined their elder brethren and fucked democracy even harder just for the hell of it. Thank God.

@flexghost
I like facts.

But when one side is doing shit, I know the other side is presumably better, since it's not violating human rights.

I've seen some bullshit from the right, and the left is barely extreme nowadays.

Thank you for your common sense.

Show threadflexghost.Jun 27, 2023
@south_lib right?! One side wants to end democracy. One wants to give everyone healthcare. So extreme
Show threadSouthern LeftistJun 28, 2023

@flexghost
Indeed. We must know which extreme is best!

The fire-eaters caused violence, but the Radical Republicans fought for peace and justice!

Extremism is not always vice!

@flexghost it all seems pretty simple to me. The Voting Rights Act was created to protect folks from thieves (yes, that’s the correct word) stealing their vote.

All these prior legal decisions allowing this theft were written by bad people
