In a coup where the Democrat-dominated judicial branch has declared the Republican-dominated legislative branch "illegitimate", the state Supreme Court of North Carolina has declared that the North Carolina legislature is "gerrymandered", and thereby is not empowered to enact amendments to the state constitution.
The amendments in question were to enshrine the state’s voter ID law and to put in place an income tax cap. Those are now in limbo after the Democrat supreme court decided it has supremacy over the duly-elected officials of North Carolina’s voters. It’s hard to put into words how crazy that is and how dangerous of a precedent it is.

Democrats currently hold a 4-3 majority on the court, a dynamic almost certain to change after November’s elections where the GOP is favored to take a 5-2 majority. So the good news here is that this insane judicial coup won’t last long. That it’s gotten to this point is still dangerous, though. What happens if courts all across the country start ruling oppositional legislatures are illegitimate?
