.LevinsonJessica: The Supreme Court is teetering on the edge of changing American elections for the worse.

deciding the “time, place, and manner” of federal elections and how to appoint electors to the Electoral College belongs only to state lawmakers — the"legislature."

With Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch sounding like they’re OK with legislatures having broad power unreviewable by state courts, and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson appearing to espouse the view that, of course, lawmakers’ decisions are subject to review, it may be up to Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett to broker a compromise that says state court judges still have some role to play when...

If, however, the Supreme Court accepts the broadest version of the independent state legislature theory, then state lawmakers will, with few exceptions, have exclusive power to make decisions about federal elections. Those decisions might involve whether there’s early voting, how many polling places there are and where, if voting by mail is allowed and even if the people’s vote for president should be accepted.

We got the Court! We got rid of Nancy! It’s been a really really good year

I think the SupremeCourt should be disbanded. It is biased + partisan. That is NOT what it should be.

The goal is to disenfranchise as many minority voters and progressive voters as possible. That’s their only goal and it means they are treasonous criminals. I think.

the Democrats have already lost the House forever. starting in January, Liberal women will flee Red states for Blue, so they can fornicate and abort with reckless abandon again. their votes go with them. Democrats have feared this happening for 50 years.

LevinsonJessica This is shocking and the Conservatives Justices on the bench should be investigated.

LevinsonJessica The change will be in the best interest of America: 'one vote, one ID.'

LevinsonJessica Evil is running the world

LevinsonJessica MSNBC feels that changing elections for the worse, includes asking for prove of citicemltiship, photo ID, and curtail the corrupt mail-in ballots practices. Thr Supreme Court may want one legal person, one vote, a very outrageous iidea for democrats ,

LevinsonJessica All thanks to Elon Musk!!!

LevinsonJessica Election laws are up to state legislators, not judges. If you don’t like it, amend the constitution. It can’t be that hard, can it 🤣

LevinsonJessica If the left is saying it's a bad thing, it's most likely the best thing that could ever happen for us.

LevinsonJessica We have lost integrity of the Supreme Court. Ethic codes are unenforceable and if we are relying on Justices' moral authority, we are doomed. There's no going back.

LevinsonJessica Not surprised they want authoritarian rule

LevinsonJessica First elections can’t get any worse. They are so corrupted I’m not sure they can be fixed. Please Lord help us.

LevinsonJessica Thank goodness for our Constitution and the conservatives on SCOTUS.

LevinsonJessica Get ready all you corrupt radical election cheaters

LevinsonJessica How dare they follow the constitution.

LevinsonJessica Anything which MSNBC has to say is always slanted and not worth pondering
