Have you ever heard about the Independent State Legislature Doctrine? It's a fringe theory that says state lawmakers should have the exclusive power to manage and oversee elections, even if they want do something that goes against state law. For example, in North Carolina, the state Supreme Court threw out an electoral map it says was so partisan, it violated the state's constitution. North Carolina Republican lawmakers say it shouldn't matter if the map breaks state law or not, because the courts shouldn't have any oversight of the legislature when it comes to electoral matters. And now the Supreme Court wants to weigh in. We asked Craig Green, Professor of Law at Temple University's Beasley School of Law to come on the podcast to explain a case that has the potential to radically change American elections.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
