More than anything else, Republican efforts seem like revenge impeachments in search of justifications.
As the nation careens toward the 2024 elections with many Republican state legislatures enacting laws that limit voter rights, the Supreme Court’s majority let it be known that that shenanigans will not be tolerated.

I for one would love to hear descriptions of a Supreme Court oral argument in which the justices debate the relative legal merits of political expression through TikTok dances.
