State Supreme Court launches judicial coup, declares GOP-led assembly 'illegitimate'
When you read about politics all day, nearly every day, it becomes difficult to come across anything that really makes you go, "Are you freakin' serious?" It's difficult, but it happens. Well, it happened the moment I read this headline from RedState:North Carolina Supreme Court Enacts a Full-Scale Judicial Coup.
Surely, I thought, this must be hyperbolic rhetoric. Nope.
For the North Carolina Supreme Court, it isn't the case that the legislature was inherently unable to act but the margins of proposed amendments were such as to suggest the proposals may not have passed but for legislators representing unconstitutionally gerrymandered districts. pic.twitter.com/aRVtGWhIDg

By claiming the legislature gerrymandered in a particular way so as to ensure a majority, the court stated that it was unconstitutionally elected. There's no proof that the act of gerrymandering is illegal. There's nothing saying the legislators themselves were somehow illegally elected. But the court is stretching to ensure two amendments aren't passed.
What were the amendments? From RedState: "The amendments in question were to enshrine the state’s voter ID law and to put in place an income tax cap."
First off, I don't believe the court has this power. States, like the federal government, utilize three, co-equal branches, and unless there are actual violations of law attempted by the executive or the legislature, the court isn't just able to step in and start making laws.
What's more, this Democrat-controlled court fabricated this rationale out of thin air so as to prevent voter ID and unlimited taxation?! If I hadn't read this myself, I would believe this was something written by the Babylon Bee. It's all just too on the nose. The judicial activism, the invocation of social justice, a dislike for voting integrity, and an unsatiable appetite for more taxpayer money. North Carolina's Supreme Court has managed to become the quintessential caricature of the leftist judge and politician. It's actually quite impressive.
And while Anthony Kreis, a law professor at Georgia State seems to believe this ruling is appropriate, I'd just as soon start believing the words of Anthony Fauci as a liberal law professor who more than likely also hates the idea of voter ID and a restriction on the state's ability to steal from its citizenry.
The NC Supreme Court gave a sensible and constrained test, recognizing the legislature's need to do business (including proposing constitutional amendments) but making clear they don't have unfettered power to remake rules in their favor when they're unconstitutionally elected.

Nothing about this is good for the state of North Carolina or the country.
