Simple: GOP state and federal laws must be upheld while Democratic laws must be overturned.

couldn't the state court just say lol gently caress you scrotus we do what we want

sure, i guess, but that wouldn't do anything, and then the state will run the elections as the legislature wants while ignoring the state courts

Hahaha SCOTUS is just straight up telling everyone the end date of whatever is left of democracy in this country and nobody will do anything about it

there's no need to be so cynical, the leaked Roe decision enabled the Democrats to use the time leading up to the case to put together a comprehensive strategy to address the changes coming from the court

Like you're getting at the issue of "why does anyone listen to the supreme court when it overrules common sense," and we know the answer to that is that not doing that the supreme court says would undermine the public's faith in the legitimacy of the supreme court

we just need to get a case challenging judicial review up to scotus and then the originalists, finding no constitutional basis for judicial review, will be forced to (figuratively) hara kiri themselves — or else they’d be hypocrites!!

I know I'm commiebrained but like does anyone actually think the supreme court is legitimate other than when it does something that a person agrees with

like say hypothetically the Dobbs decision was that abortion was a constitutional right and the states have no ability to regulate abortion then like all the chuds would be yelling about the courts illegitimacy rather than the libcucks

oh no, the supreme court would still have power over state legislatures because they claim that when they say something it has the force of the constitution, which trumps all other law at all levels.

yeah if the supreme court doesn't have power over something they can just decide they do, kinda like when congress wants to ignore a rule and they hold a meeting and decide they can do it anyway

The thing here is one side does stuff with power and the other side doesn't

You're tripping yourself up by thinking "does anyone think SCOTUS is legit" (no) or "could [x Dem person/state] refuse to listen" (they could try if they had spines, which they don't), which is complete overthinking of the fact that the actual normal people who will be most hurt by this have no power or say at all, and the representatives they've misguidedly elected to fight for them simply don't care and will not fight this

The president had to be bullied into saying he'd consider a hypothetical adjustment to the filibuster for abortion protection and still conned the Internet by only saying it after the fact hours past another different dying Dem in power being hospitalized, freeing up his vote and making it even harder to achieve this even if it was something he really wanted to do in the first place

None of that gets into what they'd do if it actually got fought and wound up coming back to them for the inevitable denial of it again. It won't get that far. Because nobody who wants to do anything about it, and can, feels like it's worth trying

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., writing for the majority, said Congress had not clearly given the agency sweeping authority to regulate the energy industry.

“Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible ‘solution to the crisis of the day,’ ” he wrote, quoting an earlier decision.

It seems like liberals think it's legitimate no matter what, but that's it.

In that hypothetical yeah the republicans would be pissed but the official legalese argument is never that the court hosed up because the outcome is bad, it's that the court hosed up because they made a mistake in interpreting the constitution. it's like saying that the ruling is illegitimate because it wouldn't pass peer review.
