What are we to do if the USSC rules that the selection of electors is a States’ Rights issue and punts on making a decision?

(I don’t believe that the present Court will do it, but there is that sometimes pesky Amendment #10 in the Bill of Rights.)

The state legislature did not do this. Only the court.

This is precisely what will happen and nobody should be surprised by this since this court did the same thing in 2020 when it wrongfully declared Texas had no standing against Pennsylvania.

There is no interpretation of the Tenth Amendment that allows a state legislature or court to violate the constitutional rights of a person. Otherwise, a state could legitimately bar black people or women from serving as electors or running for public office.

It is a reserved State issue.

But is a plenary power of State Legislatures, not State courts.

The ONLY necessary people to appoint the President are State Legislatures and the Electors they appoint.

According to the Constitution, the selection of Electors is a State Legislatures issue ... the Colorado court is overstepping its authority.
