Gonna call this Scenario Omega and track it in this thread as it develops. Premise: ISL doctrine is confirmed as law by Moore vs Harper or similar case, leading to whatever it leads to.

The big thing that strikes me about this is that it is the opposite of the Trumpist moment in 2016. That threat was so lurid and over the top you couldn’t ignore it. This threat is so dry and wonky, your eyes glaze over. It’s a quietly ticking procedural doomsday device.

Are the 2 consequences a) arbitrary gerrymandering with no state-level check and b) presidential elections stop mattering because state legislators get to appoint electors as they like. Am I missing any first-order effects?

I finally understand gerrymandering. It’s Banach-Tarski infinite chocolate!
