Being whipsawed is tiresome
Right out of the gate this morning, the U.S. Supreme Court will review a racial gerrymandering case out of South Carolina.
BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court will hear case arguing that South Carolina’s congressional map is racially gerrymandered. In the lower court, a three judge panel found that the state’s 1st Congressional District violates the 14th Amendment and must be redrawn.
— If the Supreme Court doesn’t act on Moore v. Harper, a case before the high court that addresses the independent state legislature theory, which gives state courts little to no role in interpreting election laws set by state legislatures, some legal experts are warning there could be chaos heading into 2024. Our Zach Montellaro explains: The future of the case “in question because a state-level ruling could make it moot. The nation’s highest court has also signaled that it may skip out on issuing a decision. That concerns even some strident critics of ISL, who worry that the lack of a clear decision risks injecting disarray into the 2024 election and the litigation that is guaranteed to accompany it.”
So don’t count out ISL just yet. We counted Donald Trump out in 2016. Maybe we shouldn’t with Ron DeSantis either.
That doesn’t mean he won’t collapse on a primary debate stage with Trump.
Ugh. At least there’s Randy Rainbow.
