Shorter, Leah, do not give the Supreme Court credit for finally deciding to crack open their copies of the Constitution and read the elections clause.
Okay.
Just to remind you all, the other reason you ought not congratulate the Supreme Court is because this is the same court that just a few months ago killed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and cleared the way for a little unprecedented, completely unorthodox, mid-cycling redistricting where Republicans are authorized and indeed...
encouraged to cheat democracy and erase the political power of Democratic voters and Black voters in particular.
This is the same court that just a few weeks ago opted not to block the underlying executive order, the same one that announced Donald Trump's plans to try and interfere with this election, including using the U.S.
Postal Service to do so.
And
Right.
So that was the majority order.
And it was very short, very spare.
What wasn't spare were some of the separate opinions.
And I just want to say as a pro tip to everyone out there listening, shutting up is free.
Saying and writing nothing beyond that is free and costless.
So whenever possible, err on the side of efficiency and just shut the fuck up.
And not letting your whole ass hang out.
That part.
But again, proving that it's never the right course to not let your whole ass hang out and proving that his appointment was never going to be free or costless for most of us, Brett Kavanaugh decided to weigh in anyway.
And again, with real cost to all of us who have to read what he had to say, Justice Kavanaugh decided that he was going to make it very clear that
that he actually does think that the president can use the Postal Service to wipe out state rules regarding mail-in ballots, just can't do it right now, right?
So this is what Kavanaugh wrote, quote, "'There is at least a fair prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory authority.'"
