Breaking Down North Carolina GOP's Supreme Court Power Gab With Author Billy Corriher

Republicans flipped the North Carolina Supreme Court in the 2022 midterms, and they're not bothering making nice about any "independent judiciary." They're ready to operate like an extension of the Republican-controlled legislature. First on the docket: "Reconsidering" cases the former Democratic-controlled Supreme Court already ruled on less than two months ago. Who needs new arguments (or even a legal rationale) when you have a shiny new Republican majority? The previous Supreme Court said goodbye to jacked-up gerrymanders of State Senate districts and Jim Crow-style voting identification requirements, but the Republican justices will happily say hello.
