"The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a dubious right-wing theory that would have had dangerous and far-reaching consequences for the democratic process.
Broadly, the theory at the heart of Moore v. Harper — known as the "independent state legislature" theory — would give state lawmakers nearly unchecked power to gerrymander electoral maps and upend federal elections."
"A divided Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected the Trump administration’s request to keep billions of dollars in foreign aid approved by Congress frozen. . However, the court did not immediately say when the money must be released, allowing the White House to continue to dispute the issue in lower courts. . The ruling was 5-4. . The order was unsigned but four conservative justices dissented – Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. That put five justices in the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson."
