“The stakes for American democracy were palpable” during the #MoorevHarper arguments, says Judge J. Michael Luttig, a former federal appeals court judge and a conservative. “I was left with the clear impression that the [Supreme] Court as a whole has no appetite for the Independent State Legislature Theory.” #velshi http://ow.ly/G56p50M0aIN

Anti-trans groups have learned their tactics from the anti-abortion movement, says journalist Imara Jones. “The armed wing and the political wing say that they don’t have anything to do with each other, but we know (they) are deeply connected.” #velshi
