John,
By now, we know you’ve seen what the United States Supreme Court has done this year. They’ve slashed fundamental reproductive rights, destroyed efforts to combat climate change, allowed gerrymandered maps to remain in place, and attacked the rights of Native Americans. So, surely, that must be the worst of it?
Not exactly. Let's talk about Moore v. Harper.
Please join All On The Line as we discuss the Supreme Court’s decision to hear Moore, an appeal filed by North Carolina Republicans that could give state legislatures unchecked power to control congressional redistricting. The case is based on the extreme right-wing “independent state legislature” (ISL) theory, which argues that state courts cannot invalidate laws enacted by state legislatures that pertain to federal elections. We can’t emphasize enough how radical this theory is.
If far-right politicians succeed in this effort to diminish checks and balances in the states, it will undermine more than a century of precedent and wreak havoc on the American federalist system (and American democracy) as we know it.
Please join us to find out how you can get involved.
See you there,
Ted Corcoran,
