First of all Thomas, Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, I like beer Kavanaugh and Barrett put their hand on a Bible and swear before the Senate that some of the laws the are overturning was settle law. They lied before the senate why can’t they be impeached and ethical concerns of the courts should be grounds for immediate removal. Why? This is not being done the spineless fake democrats. They senate and congress removed people for way less than that. Remember William Jeffery, Jessie Jackson Jr., Packwood, Myers and more. What about a recall? The media is a joke all they can talk about is Biden’s age or the fake polls. Isn’t Grassly 89 I believe what aboutMcConnell 81. The democrats know Feinstein need to good her constituents will not re-elect her. Grassly just gotten re-elected where is the fake LSM n his and McConnely age crickets.

Another thing I fear is that the SCOTUS decision focused on a scenario wherein a state legislation asserts FULL authority (basically cutting out the state courts and the state executive branch) to decide election matters. The SCOTUS said the state courts need to have a say.

BUT it did not address truly what would happen if a Red Trifecta state (Republicans control both state chambers of the legislature and also the governor) OR a Red state that has Dem governor but has Republican supermajorities in both chambers (like NC now has) and also has a complaint right wing state Supreme Court (that goes along with the Republican legislature and governor (or overrides a Dem governor) and tries to do pure election mischief.

Imagine, for instance, North Carolina votes for Biden in 2024 in the popular vote, BUT the legislature (with the RW state supreme court's approval this time) says 'NO, we are going to ignore the popular vote and send an official slate of Electoral College electors that will vote for Trump'. They will claim this again under Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the US Constitution. and this time they have the state's COURTS backing (which was a main problem as to why ISL theory was struck down in Moore v Harper).

At that point, unless the SCOTUS intervenes again, we would have a state (NC) stolen via the ignoring of the popular vote. There also may well be other states that that voted Biden in the popular vote, but a Republican legislature (with their state supreme courts approval and no Governor effective veto, or no veto at all if a Repub governor) does the same thing, as send a slate of lectors that will vote for Trump instead.

It could tip the election (via the only thing that counts, the Electoral College) from Biden to Trump, UNLESS the SCOTUS intervenes again, which there is no guarantee they will.

Dangerous, treacherous waters ahead, especially if this is attempted in a scenario wherein the Republicans, can, in a few states, (or even just one if the EC is close enough) actually can flip the Electoral College from Biden to Trump, as the maths are aligned in a such a manner (ie a very close Electoral Vote race) so as to allow it to happen.

The North Carolina state Republicans are going to redraw the US House map to take it from the current 7 Dem/7 Rep split in the US House NC delegation to what will likely end up 11 R and only 3 D post 2024 elections, thus making the Repub's holding of the US House that much more likely, unfortunately. The NC supreme Court flipped to a RW majority and reversed the previous ruling on the US House district maps from when the NC Supreme Court was majority Dem, a decision that yielded the 7D/7R split it now has.

Is SCOTUS completely done with decisions for this session?
