Do not be fooled fucktards! Do not trust the conservative justices on SCOTUS, for they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are the scorpion riding on the back of the frog, and all these legal eagles seeming to breathe a sigh of relief after the oral arguments are — as usual — oblivious, just as they were about the future of Roe. As with Roe, they believed SCOTUS would — ultimately — dare not upend 50 years of precedent. Of course, they were wrong and supremely naive. This case is no different, except that this is just the beginning of a multi-year-long process, not the end. You know, the same process that eventually brought down women’s bodily rights. I have read several legal commentaries on this seemingly dodged bullet to the death of democracy.
I will use The Atlantic as an example. In an article, the author writes, “The real intellectual energy of the argument focused on just how the Court might sketch a narrower vision of the independent state legislature theory that could provide some level of increased freedom for legislatures without fully unleashing state lawmakers to do their worst. Conservative Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, along with Chief Justice John Roberts, seemed notably interested in this approach. This is a welcome sign for Court-watchers concerned about a unified conservative bloc backing the North Carolina legislators’ approach. It would mean avoiding the total election chaos forecasted by scholars apprehensive about the more extreme variations of the theory. It would also, importantly, provide no support for rogue state legislatures seeking to justify an effort to overturn the results of the 2024 election — the nightmare scenario that has worried many commentators on Moore.”
This is precisely the “it could be worse” logic that enures legal watchers, politicians, and the average dumb-man to the least bad outcome that eventually leads to the worst consequences a decade later. Make no mistake, morons! As the three “centrist” justices try to figure out a “weak” form of the independent state legislature theory, the three theocratic justices are laying the groundwork for its maximalist interpretation and implementation. Whatever the Moore decision — and it will implement some form of the theory, mark my words — it will only take a few years for another case to challenge the restrictiveness of the theory. The next case will be to Moore what Casey was to Roe. Fast forward ten years to the still-to-be-named case that will be what Dobbs was to Roe. Do you see where I’m going with this? This SCOTUS has the time and fortitude to systematically and incrementally destroy America’s democracy. Do not be sanguine about what the “middle” justices appear to be signaling in their oral arguments, for if they give but one degree of legitimacy to the independent state legislature theory, then within a decade, the law will have traveled 180 degrees to destroy the notion of one man, one vote and checks and balances. Mark my words! Welcome to stupid America!
