1. UGH................

going to the 6 RW justices...................

what's the upside?

6. Makes it look

They are trying something?

My worry is this is a litmus test. Judges overturning elections? We’ve been primed and need to show something more than running to SC.

Back in the day the R’s would be non stop bitching about liberal judges legislating from the bench if this happened to their side. Almost seems quaint.

2. I knew there would end up being

One rule for Dems and another for the GOP. They are going to have the maps completely rigged, ICE will be at the polls. I do not have a good feeling.

3. On what federal issue?

This could turn an obviously partisan 4-3 ruling into what looks like a 9-0 smack down.

4. Don't think this will go anywhere.

When a decision is based on independent and adequate state grounds, SCOTUS will not step in.

5. Except for all the times they do.

But this SCOTUS would never give the Dems a win on this.

7. Violation of a state constitution isn't a federal concern. n/t

8. Unless the ruling disenfranchises voters

which most say this did.
You act as if this Court actually adheres to the Constitution.
