The Supreme Court has an electoral 'bomb' on its hands. Will it defuse it before 2024?

A controversial legal theory that could completely upend American elections may not be resolved by the Supreme Court this year. Some legal experts warn there will be chaos ahead of 2024 if the high court doesn't act.

Some conservative legal scholars and attorneys have been advancing a once-fringe idea known as the independent state legislature theory, which gives state courts little — to no — role in interpreting election laws set by state legislatures.

But now the future of the key Supreme Court case addressing the theory — Moore v. Harper — is in question because a state-level ruling could make it moot. The nation’s highest court has also signaled that it may skip out on issuing a decision. That concerns even some strident critics of ISL, who worry that the lack of a clear decision risks injecting disarray into the 2024 election and the litigation that is guaranteed to accompany it.

“I at least want them to deal with the bomb before the ’24 elections,” said Justin Levitt, a former senior policy adviser for democracy and voting rights at the Biden White House who is now a professor at Loyola Law School.

1. The SC will look the other way if it benefits the GOP on a huge issue.

2. Moore v Harper could make Dobbs look tame

The coup did not end. It moved into the Supreme Court and the House, and state legislatures.

Losing the House in 22 might hurt more than we know.

It's a stupid theory, but do you think that'll stop this Court? After Alito cited a witch-finder from the 1600s for Dobbs?

It's all and only about power. Reich-wing power.

I think we'll need to court that 1/3 who didn't vote in 20 to get massive numbers. I suspect they're to the left; the right is already under Trape's thumb.
