Ok - I'm not that ,,, but let me say that I was reading what cases were to be brought before the supreeme Court ,, and that one - the Moore .vs Harper was the one that I saw only one person mentioning,, when I thought HOLY SHIT - this is nuts !! and here is today's story on CNN news..
My Quote : There is one case that I think may be the end of Democracy... IF I am reading it correctly. And I ain't that smart....so I hope not.... but its this one - Moore .Vs Harper - this is the Summary.
"Whether a State's judicial branch may nullify the regulations governing the "Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives . . . prescribed . . . by the Legislature thereof," U.S. CONST. art. I, § 4, cl. 1, and replace them with regulations of the state courts' own devising, based on vague state constitutional provisions purportedly vesting the state judiciary with power to prescribe whatever rules it deems appropriate to ensure a "fair" or "free" election.
That a State may nullify the Regulations and Elections that it deems appropriate (that means if it does not like the results) and then set up whatever rules it wishes to say they have fair election. This will be the COUP from within...
On the heels of groundbreaking decisions on Roe v. Wade and gun rights, the US Supreme Court appears poised to take up another case with the potential to profoundly reshape American life – this time at the ballot box. The case in the upcoming Court session could make it easier for political incumbents to entrench themselves in office and could even put the 2024 election in peril.
After already making it harder for voting rights advocates to secure protection for the right to vote through restrictive rulings that defer to state legislatures, the Court now seems poised to cut off protection from state courts as well.
The justices have agreed to hear Moore v. Harper, a case that hinges on a technical legal issue with immense implications, and that raises the question of whether there any limits to the kinds of election rules that state legislatures may pass.
The case began when Republican state legislators in North Carolina enacted an extreme partisan gerrymander that the state supreme court struck down as unlawful. Now these lawmakers are arguing that state courts cannot constrain them when it comes to the political maps they draw. And they are asking the US Supreme Court to say that the state supreme court had no authority to render a ruling under the state constitution.
That’s right – the argument is that the state supreme court is powerless to issue a ruling about state law, at least as it applies to federal elections in the state.
