And this is also why nobody thinks that the Court is going to adopt the "independent state legislature theory".

That'll probably be a nine to nothing ruling, in spite of people like Robert Reich running around the streets declaring that the sky is falling, and Justice Thomas is a baddy.

Called the result correctly, but it was six to nine. Why?

Well, the dissenters thought the case was moot, due to the underlying state's Supreme Court rolling over and the result accordingly changing.

So the independent legislature theory bit the dust, and the "worry" which pundits declared had existed was mostly in fevered imaginations.  Nobody thought this goofball theory was going anywhere, and it didn't.
