The whole representative system is obsolete and needs to go. The idea that the legislature makes decisions that affect all Americans yet the people who ultimately make those decisions are only accountable to less than one percent of them needs to be done away with.

If you change the first word to “This” it works.

In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson blasted the court’s decision to upend its default procedures and “facilitate Louisiana’s midstream redistricting rush,” despite primary ballots having already gone out to military and overseas voters.

Normally, the court frowns upon last-minute changes to election procedures, but in this case, it “dives into the fray” in a way that’s “unwarranted and unwise,” she wrote.

In a concurring decision, Alito fumed that Jackson’s dissent had accused the majority of “an unprincipled use of power,” which he claimed was “baseless and insulting” as well as “a groundless and utterly irresponsible charge.”

“The dissent accuses the Court of ‘unshackling’ itself from ‘constraints.’ It is the dissent’s rhetoric that lacks restraint,” he fumed.

They disenfranchised millions of people at the direct order of an autocrat and then went to a gala and got literally compensated for it. Groundless tho.
