One third of state AGs and one quarter of members of the House have endorsed the views:
— that the Supreme Court can and should overturn a national election; and
— that states can and should employ the federal government to overrule other states on the conduct of their affairs.

This is at once the most serious theoretical challenge to the constitutional union since the slave-owners’ Confederacy and the greatest theoretical challenge to states’ rights since the Constitution was ratified.

The only reason every serious citizen should refrain from panic is that the public officials mounting this effort are transparently unserious about it. It is cynical theater, which they will promptly disavow if anyone ever tries to invoke it as precedent.
