I read more into that sentence than what you meant. I thought you were generalizing across space to all states led by a Republican legislature (not only the 4 states you mentioned) and across time to future Republican legislatures, not just the current ones.
C’mon... The Republican Party’s power grabs are glaring at us. The fact that the Supreme Court is now so heavily conservative is a testament to Mitch McConnell’s power grab of the court. What is bizarre is the Trump inspired conservative vision of America.
Edward, to clarify I'm not denying the 4 cases that Steve describes. But the question is -- Are Republicans the only party that tries to do power grabs? Or maybe more precisely, are Republicans doing a lot more power grabs than Democrats? If the answer is "yes" to either question, do we have proper data?
Good point. I thought that achieving "standing" was a pretty high bar to clear, and that the Supreme Court only judged actual cases and controversies, not hypotheticals.
The 1st question’s phrasing sounds strange to me.
“Can Republican legislatures make extreme power grabs?”
The idea that only one party (and not the other) would want to “power grab” is very bizarre.
Thanks for your comment? My question and answer referred to the cases at hand!
