embers of the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority just last week took the next step in a little-noticed, but extremely dangerous, project: attempting to jam into law a radical misinterpretation of the Constitution’s elections and electors clauses, which, if successful, would create electoral chaos across the country. Before next summer, and well in advance of the 2024 presidential election, the Court could strip state courts and state constitutions of their ability to check and balance state legislators when they make laws for federal elections, giving partisan majorities near-total control over how voters cast ballots and how those ballots are counted.

The left keeps whining about "DEMOCRACY," i.e. popular vote on everything, with no checks from the states. Just what the Founders warned against, and why they formed a REPUBLIC with representative government. Democratic voting is only part of our system.

Yes, this is something like the 4th or 5th article ALREADY on a case that won’t come up for a month or so.Their protest squads need time to rest up from their last order of business (advocacy of baby-killing).

...A ruling for state legislatures in this case would be a sea change. It could cure most of the fraud of the 2020 presidential election... Which is why the Court of Supreme Whim just blatantly ignored what the Constitution says. The fix is still in.

If this is coming from microsoft, you can bet it is NOT in America’s favor.
I wish I could have NOTHING TO DO WITH MSN.
