As the Supreme Court prepares to start hearing arguments in Moore v Harper this week, many legal experts believe democracy is on the line.
believe may pose “an existential threat to our democracy” and could enable “the Republican blueprint to steal the 2024 election.”
The case is so controversial that more than 70 amicus briefs–“friends of the court”–have been submitted, including everyone from former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to the ACLU, with 48 of them being opposed to the legitimacy of the ISLT. The specific case before the U.S. Supreme Court is about gerrymandering–the practice of redrawing Congressional districts to favor one party-and arises from the North Carolina Supreme Court’s decision to strike down its Republican state legislature plan to grossly manipulate the state’s congressional districts in favor of Republicans as being unconstitutional under the North Carolina state constitution.
So given the demonstrated capacity of the new SCOTUS conservative supermajority to ignore and overturn precedent—most notably in thedecision which struck down the protections for a woman’s right to abortion that had stood for decades–the decision to hear the case raises the likelihood that the conservatives may again be looking to overturn precedent.
