Like on the Obergerfell case, the Court swept aside the legislative process but actually landed on the outcome that was supported by the electorate (and tellingly, Republicans don't bother complaining about it anymore). — PolitiTweet.org

My basic view is that in a proper system of government courts should have almost no power, but in the United States the elected branches *also* have very little democratic legitimacy so it's extremely hard to have a coherent view about how branches should relate. — PolitiTweet.org

In Baker v Carr the Court refused to defer to undemocratically constituted state legislatures and forced them to be more democratic. But then in the more recent partisan gerrymandering case, they chose to defer rather impose. — PolitiTweet.org
