Not a done deal, of course, but this is pretty encouraging. After oral arguments, it still seems there are only 3 hard yesses on the ludicrous "independent state legislatures" doctrine ("original intent" that somehow never came up for 200 years).

Kavanaugh is partially sympathetic, but not all in. And Barrett seems skeptical, like Roberts.

@RationalLeft

Unlike the fanta menace, maybe the justices of concern are rising to the challenge a bit.

@Old_Dave Kavanaugh and Barrett both seemed openly worried about the consequences of unleashing this "doctrine," so yes, it looks like that may indeed be the case.

@Old_Dave It has been a pattern so far. Of the 5 justices to Roberts's right, Kavanaugh is closer to Roberts than the others, Barrett is to his right, Gorsuch still further right, and Alito and Thomas still the farthest right.
