But a different Supreme Court decision this week, which was initially met with a sigh of relief, could also be leading us down a problematic path. On one hand, the ruling in Moore v. Harper avoids the far more terrible option of giving partisan legislatures unfettered power to shape election law and, potentially, overrule the will of voters. But on the other, some legal experts believe Chief Justice John Roberts' decision leaves a great deal of power in the hands of federal courts and, yes, the wildly unpopular Supreme Court, to decide election disputes. So it was a surprisingly good ruling from the majority of Supreme Court justices. But it may leave room for a lot of judicial mischief leading up to the 2024 presidential election.
