In Newest Twist, Supreme Court Requests Further Briefing On Major Election Case

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Supreme Court asked for additional briefs Thursday as it figures out how to go forward with a major elections case out of North Carolina, a redistricting case centered around a popular right-wing idea: the independent state legislature theory.

After oral arguments last December, the Court was mulling its decision when the North Carolina Supreme Court — newly dominated by conservatives after the 2022 midterms — decided to rehear the case. The dissenting state court liberals called it a “radical,” nakedly political “power grab.”

That move also put the Supreme Court’s involvement in the case in limbo. If the state court reversed its decision and let the Republican-passed gerrymandered maps stand, it would seem to moot the crux of the case that the Supreme Court had been in the middle of deciding.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court asked the parties involved for further guidance.

2. If SCOTUS has accepted the case

Argued by both sides and awaiting the decision … this smells like another ‘leaked’ decision to NC repugs - you better try again 🤨

Something stinks

3. Good Lord, who needs a brief to figure out that allowing a legislature to erase millions of votes to

replace them with their will is obviously undemocratic. The wording the GOP wants to expand gives the legislatures authority setting up voting, not doing away with voting.
