Hallelujah!

Of course the MAGA three who voted FOR the doctrine were Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito.

A 6-3 decision from the Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a bid to give state legislatures sweeping authority in drawing congressional maps and regulating federal elections, declining to endorse the so-called “independent state legislature” theory.

[...]

“The independent state legislature theory is a dangerous, fringe legal theory that has no place in our democracy,” Abha Khanna, a partner at progressive elections firm Elias Law Group, which represented one group of plaintiffs, said in a statement.

“In its most extreme form, the Independent State Legislature Theory could have weakened the foundation of our democracy, removing a crucial check on state legislatures and making it easier for rogue legislators to enact policies that suppress voters and subvert elections without adequate oversight from state court. We are incredibly relieved that the Supreme Court decisively rejected this dangerous theory.”

Do you think if Thomas and Alito weren't causing such scrutiny and negative press lately this would have gone the other way?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 12:49 pm:

And keep it up.

UPDATE 06/28/2023:

The ruling ensures that state Supreme Courts will remain ultimate arbiters of partisan gerrymandering, and that they can rein in legislatures looking to use redistricting to eviscerate a minority party.

And if the state Supreme Courts are packed with MAGA justices, well...the US Supreme Court isn't going to help that state's voters, but that's another story.
