In reply to the discussion: Supreme Court just announced they're ending Democracy next year [View all]Haggard Celine
(16,838 posts)6. Yes it does look that way.
If the Court votes that legislatures can overturn democratic elections, it will be a constitutional crisis. The Executive branch would have the right to arrest the Justices who voted for the nullification of elections. The Congress and the courts gave the Executive that power for handling threats to our government. Congress would have the right to impeach them. If the country.isn't already at war by then, it will be soon after.
