I believe the Supreme Court literally saved our Democracy today.
They struck down the "Supreme Legistature Theory", which would have let state legislatures pass pretty much ANY election rules they like and no state or Federal court could review the policy, even they blatently violated those Constitutions. They could have literally banned Muslims or Gays from voting, and there would be no judicial review allowed.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a legal theory that would have radically reshaped how federal elections are conducted by giving state legislatures largely unchecked power to set all sorts of rules for federal elections and to draw congressional maps warped by partisan gerrymandering.
They voted 6 to 3. Thank goodness even 3 Conservatives saw the truth on this one, including Kavanaugh and Barrett.
