'The fractured nature of our culture means more and more local or individual decisions that require shared assumptions are being ceded to central authority. Which is the way the Left wants it.' -hgurdon
Many conservatives are up in arms, partly on constitutional principle but also, clearly, because the Supreme Court has cemented in place a congressional map North Carolina’s Democrat-dominated high court drew up, and which produced three fewer Republican seats in the 2020 election than were expected with a GOP map the judges swept aside.
Legal challenges to local control, for example, will now surely proliferate and, as Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his dissent, emergency reviews brought opportunistically on the eve of federal elections will defer to state court decisions. Thus, the authority of legislatures to determine the times, places, and manner of the elections, as intended, will be greatly eroded.
It presents an insurmountable problem. Our culture no longer has a clue what is ordinary, usual, proper, or appropriate.
