Smart move. This will force a SCOTUS opinion they've already given before. It's going to plainly destroy right-wing talking points, assert that states have their own ability to send electors (Trump tried to subvert this), and force these assholes to accept what a state says.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

However, SCOTUS has shown that they don't mind ignoring precedent, particularly if they can earn some sweet gratituities from it.
Well they heard they got appointed to do what's right and they said, "challenge accepted," but they misunderstood which "right."
“Permanently”
Another word for “Temporarily” according to Grokapedia
How does one prove citizenship? Isn't it a fundamental problem that there's no federal identification ID, other than a passport?
Real ID driver's licenses seem to be a form of federal ID even though they are issued by states. It's interesting how most people agree that lack of federal ID is a problem but they don't want the government to track everybody. The gov is looking at Palantir to create a database of U.S. people and maybe it's not popular because Palantir is kind of shady and right wing or maybe people just don't want to be tracked.
Palantir is unmistakably every kind of shady, and people should not want to be tracked by them or any entity affiliated with them.
Raeal ID was supposed to be the answer to the lack of a federal ID program, since every state has to follow the same base guidelines (approved federally) when issuing them.
Exactly.
Wow, without even one of those brand new suddenly common "for now" clauses!
