To this I will add: If you are a Democrat eyeing higher office in a few years, you should think about whether you *really* want to be the guy in the Democratic primary whose position is "We should leave Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh in charge."

To the extent SCOTUS is articulating a principle (other than letting the GOP have its way in election cases), it's: a state can do whatever it wants at the last minute to change the rules of an election, & courts can do nothing about it āĀ even with evidence of intentional discrimination.
