2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumPA Supreme Court decision can loom to change the dynamics of this race.
3 Dems and 3 Reps, I am hoping one rep has the ability to bypass their party's stance and do the right thing. Overturn this draconian law.

(4,551 posts)1. The Court already has very little credibility
One of the Republican Justices is on suspension because of charges of fraud and forgery. (That's why there are only 6 Justices when there should be 7).
Not exactly a Court one can have a lot of faith in.

it would be nearly impossible for Romney to win PA.

If it's appealed to a higher court? I mean all we need to do is get it past the election I think to avoid most of the risk.

(47,675 posts)7. Orie is out by indictment (along with both of her sisters), but the court isn't that political.
They've violated the political lines in both directions on a regular basis. I expect them to rule against the voter suppression act.
