If the court upholds the rogue ‘Independent State Legislature’ theory, it would put the US squarely on path to authoritarianism

This isn't going to go the way Squidley hopes.

They'll find a very restrictive way to rule however they're going to rule.

There's no way they're giving state legislatures the ability to overrule a vote.

Authoritarian governments happen all the time.

You're laughing like you don't think it can happen here.

All great republics fall eventually.

What would you call it if a state legislature looks at a vote and says "nope, we don't like it, this is the result we're prefer"?

This is why you people are clowns

How is moving control more locally and more individually authoritarian?

TERRIFYING
Are purposely this obtuse, or just really dumb and brainwashed. Just so you are on the record, it is ok for state legislatures to overrule the voters? Noting authoritarian about that right?

Moron. Officials could determine what slate of electors gets put forth to the electoral college, regardless of the outcome of the state’s popular vote.
He is a textbook authoritarian reactionary with a severe case of Dunning-Kruger.

Like always, you misunderstand the possible implications of a ruling that fully grants proponents what they're asking for. Fortunately, the SCOTUS almost never drafts opinions with such a broad brush, and this case will be decided on a very specific and limited basis.

6th Amendment?

You thought that imposing a mask mandate in the middle of a pandemic is authoritarian.

This is how much you understand authoritarianism.

You are the definition of a clown.

Officials already do that.

Local control is always better than federal control. Period

West of the Atlantic. East of the ICW.
I stopped reading when I reached the quote below because the writer of the opinion piece is clearly a deranged lunatic pushing THE BIG LIE.

"A supermajority of six, unelected ultraconservatives justices – five of which were put on the bench by presidents who did not win the popular vote –"
