In a rare move, the group of all 50 states' Supreme Court chief justices wrote to SCOTUS, urging them to shoot down the argument NC Republican lawmakers are making--that there should be no checks and balances for election laws--in their "Independent State Legislature" case #ncpol

7. I am an embarrassed North Carolinian

We have idiotic states congressmen and senators, Trump fanatics. Thank you 49 other state CHief Justices of States. Maybe the Supremes will listen to you. They sure don't listen to me or other little people in the state of NC. With a tad bit of luck and lots of pressure from Blue/Purple NC, maybe we will stop the idiotic State Congressmen and Senators....

embarrassed Georgia in MTG's district. Go Stacey!!!!! Go Raphael!!!!

11. Good heavens, what terrible luck. From ultra bad to ultra worse.

So sorry to hear that. Virginia Foxx has always been nothing but pure evil, imo.

End Art Pope first. He is our personal NC Koch. He owns NC GQP and all the red hat idiots.

13. Wow! I hope it will have a moderating effect on the rabid righties on the court. It really should.

They should beware the "unintended consequences" of their radical and extreme rulings, lest they reap more unexpected responses from their fellow Americans.

The fact that ALL fifty states chief justices joined together in the request to the SC is amazing.
May they carefully heed the request. Please!

Anyone know when we may get an answer?

14. It should be called ...

... the "Lawless State Legislature" Theory.

Because that is precisely what they are advocating.

18. Exactly and that is was not the intention of those that wrote our nations

Constitution at all.
If it was we would still be a British colony.

15. Any voice of reason seems likely to fall on deaf ears

in the present SCOTUS, fascist majority rules edition.

16. To quote Newt from Aliens: "It won't make any difference."

17. While State laws certainly are important it's up to the Federal to make sure

that certain basic things are protected at a minimum.
One of those things is the right to vote which means the Federal courts should strike down laws who's intent is clearly to make it harder to vote.
