Supreme Court will hear case on states’ power in federal elections

The case examines a legal theory that would grant state legislatures significantly more power over federal elections.

The Supreme Court said Thursday it will hear a case next term that examines a legal theory that would grant state legislatures significantly more power over federal elections.

Why it matters: The decision could allow state legislatures to set the rules for federal elections — even if they result in partisan gerrymandering or violate state constitutions, the Washington Post reports.

Driving the news: The case concerns a map drawn by North Carolina's Republican-led legislature that was rejected by the state's supreme court for partisan gerrymandering and violating the state constitution.

• Republican lawmakers argued that the state court lacked the authority to reject the map under a legal theory called the independent state legislature doctrine.
• The theory stems from the U.S. Constitution’s election clause, which says: "The times, places and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof."
• The state supreme court rejected Republicans' arguments and said that it would be “repugnant to the sovereignty of states, the authority of state constitutions and the independence of state courts, and would produce absurd and dangerous consequences.”

The big picture: The independent state legislature doctrine would grant lawmakers power over redistricting, but also other election procedures, including voting by mail, per the Post.

What to watch: The Supreme Court is set to hear the case next term, which begins in October.

The Supreme Court just dealt a big blow to tribal sovereignty. Tribes fear it's only the start.

The decision affects how crimes are prosecuted on reservations. It upends nearly 200 years of precedents recognizing the right of tribal nations to self-govern.

The Supreme Court gave states more power over tribal land. Tribes say that undermines their autonomy.


The decision affects how crimes are prosecuted on reservations. It upends nearly 200 years of precedents recognizing the right of tribal nations to self-govern.

In a decision that stunned legal experts, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that state governments have the authority to prosecute certain cases on tribal lands, effectively undermining centuries of legal precedent by expanding the power of states.

The court’s ruling in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta is a heavy blow to the sovereignty of tribes over their land and governance, federal Indian law experts and tribal leaders said. They raised concerns that states would usurp the hard-won autonomy of tribes to prosecute crimes on their own lands in a community-based way that meets the needs of their own citizens, which they said could complicate prosecutions in domestic violence and sexual assault cases.


The experts and leaders also worry the decision is a sign the high court could further erode other areas in which federal and tribal governments have authority, such as environmental regulation and child welfare on reservations, and give more power to states.

It’s no longer about suppressing non-whites votes.

They setting it up to suppress majority of the US populace vote, including certain White folks.

They will be gunning for the 19th Amendment here soon to ban women from voting.

They want to make it like when the Constitution was ratified that only White Men who owned property could vote.

They plan on making it that only a small select group of White Men can vote.

Lots of White Men in this country are gonna find out to late what the plan actually is…and that pea shooter AR-15 ain’t gonna help them.

Grimy ass US Gov

Also, Rubi Rose is such a bird and I honestly hate her music and IG posts so fucking much but goddamn, this bih so fine to me. I'd bust out a choppa suit and serenade this broad on some Keith Washington, Tevin Campbell, Ralph Tresvant early 90s type shit and plant all kinds of seeds up in there. Build a whole goddamn nation and shit.

My older brother and older sister both think we are headed for a Civil War. My sister is 61 and usually level headed and she recently told me we just need to stop pussy footing around and get on with it because Black people are not going to continue to be treated like shit. My older brother who owns many guns wants to buy an AR15 primarily because he thinks war with white folks is on the horizon. I'm usually the loose cannon and I've told both of them in sadness that if it comes down to that we don't win. My brother basically said well when the time comes I plan on taking as many with me before I go. In any event if it comes down to that a lot of us won't be here for the aftermath.

Balkanization is preferable to civil war if it comes to that. It's also easy to do because the country is already divided into states that have a similar culture to the ones surrounding.

The Civil War was fought to oreserve the Union. This time we can just let these areas go and become a self-governing nations.

Who is going to participate in this Civil war? Cats on here waiting for their new 2023 BMW to be made? All the black Americans watering their grass in suburbia. All the white Americans watering their grass in suburbia? The millions and millions of Americans with careers they like. Folks in the hood ain't on it. MAGA crowd is from the demo more likely to eat their own guns for lunch.

While there are many Americans unhappy with the system(count me as one), folks ain't Civil War unhappy. It's fourth of 4th of july and most Americans going to be kicking it not thinking about any of this shit(and one could argue that's the problem).

More importantly, why would the elites want a civil war? Wealth gap keeps growing. They just want division among the masses.

I think what you are saying is more likely than a civil war.
