So glad to know there's still a somewhat sane portion of that cares something for democratic principles and

The ruling on the "independent legislature" principle isn't an unmixed blessing. But it does establish that state supreme courts (and federal courts) can rein in the worst of attempts to create a one-party, one-race state electorate.

“You can't actually have checks and balances if one branch is so powerful that the other branches cannot, in fact, engage in their constitutionally mandated role to provide a check on inappropriate or illegal behavior,” Caroline Fredrickson, a distinguished visitor from practice at Georgetown Law, said in a phone interview. “Then we have a defective system.”

@pivoinebleue Netanyahu's & Trump's (then-"presidential") goals are essentially the same: To abuse governmental power to evade justice, prosecution & indictment for being the crooks they are, utterly disregarding right & wrong.

To achieve this, they're even willing to sacrifice/corrupt the & the system of .
Both (& their respective stooges) are criminal embodiments of a deeply insane & unhealthy understanding of functioning democratic states, both are most unfit to hold public offices.
