Supreme Court Rejects Right-Wing ‘Theory’ That Would Have Upended American Elections (talkingpointsmemo.com)

The Supreme Court rejected the independent state legislature theory in a bombshell decision Tuesday, turning back a right-wing attempt to vest the sole power in administering federal elections with state legislatures.

Thomas does this shit, he writes nonsense dissents, and then when he's allowed to write the majority opinion, he will reference his own nonsense dissent in another case as if it had the weight of actual law.

He does the same with nonsense concurrences.

Always referencing himself, to fuck over everyone else. He's the ultimate example of "I got mine, fuck you"

Alito then has Fox News brain. Completely rotted by whatever culture war bullshit is popular at the time he writes an opinion. Even if it contradicts a position he held previously.

Gorsuch is an odd one. He's good on personal liberties (sometimes) but also believes that the prohibition of mixing religion and state doesn't exist for the states.

So yeah, the three judges who dissented here are three very different forms of crazy.
