First, all the correct people are upset. That isn’t a very mature way to consider legal cases of major import, but it is very reliable. If the mainstream media are running editorials against it and progressive legal analysts are predicting the end of democracy, it can’t be all bad because I happen to think democracy is a pretty crappy form of government.
Second, words mean things. The Constitution says the state legislatures control time, manner, and place, so maybe we should pay attention. Most of the times when we’ve f***ed with the original document because of our modern sensibilities, we’ve made things a lot worse. The income tax and direct election of senators come to mind immediately.
Third, we know that leftwing activist judges can’t resist trying to fine-tune rules to help their favored candidates. They do it every election, and they do it with absolute impunity because they are unaccountable.
