U.S. Supreme Court's divisions in voting cases put spotlight on Barrett

U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett arrives with U.S. President Donald Trump to take her oath of office to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court at a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, U.S. October 26, 2020. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst

The conservative justices indicated they are less willing to defer to the decisions of state courts. The liberal justices indicated that regardless of what court handles a case before it reaches the Supreme Court the key issue must be to protect the right to vote. Kavanaugh wrote that “under the U. S. Constitution, the state courts do not have a blank check to rewrite state election laws for federal elections.”

Gorsuch’s comments could suggest that he would vote against allowing an extension of the deadline for mail-in ballots in North Carolina in a case in which the decision by the state election board, not the legislature, is under review. In the Pennsylvania litigation, the Supreme Court was divided 4-4, which allowed the state to extend the deadline for mail-in absentee ballots by three days as long as they are postmarked by Election Day. The tie vote occurred because court was shorthanded following the death of liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

James Gardner, a University of Buffalo professor of election law, said the court, with Roberts as the decisive vote this year, has generally tried to avoid overriding state officials.

There is no Supreme Court in the US any more. There is the Republican court and power grab.

She and Brett and Roberts know the plan is to fix elections for the GOP and phase in an apartheid state. Buckle up. Enjoy the concentration camps.

She should abstain

Disgusting if she refuses to recuse herself from voting cases during the ongoing election.

Everything about this is ILLEGAL. From start to finish. And she ADMITS IT herself. RiggedElection

You can call her ACB.

If these Republican Senators and Barrett had integrity, they would have all agreed that Stimulus Relief for tens of millions of Americans was more important than her confirmation, and would have delayed these proceedings until after the election. That would have shown character.

US Supreme Court is now a criminal organization stealing our rights....

Oh she’s been bought and endorsed by Trump, McConnell & Republican Senators. They now own this court.

I don't have an opinion on the SCJ, but how come Congress can be so set in on this- but cannot get help to Americans in time of need? This political game being played BY BOTH SIDES is causing ALL OF AMERICA to lose. We need a fixed system!
