As the January 6th committee’s hearings continue, the nation is treated to recounting of wild, false claims of election fraud, and outrageous schemes which countenanced blocking or surmounting the duly conducted vote in the electoral college. What was behind those schemes? A so-called theory of “Independent State Legislatures.” What’s that? How would it further the undermining of the electoral process? Is it still a threat? And where did it come from? Here’s one hint that should tell you something about its DNA: it is in large part the residue from the notorious, noxious, nullity that was Bush v. Gore. Professor Amar, and his brother, Dean Vikram Amar, have teamed up to head off this danger to the Republic, through a new article which is already widely acclaimed and cited. Today Akhil and Andy (joined by Vik in subsequent episodes) begin a three-part series that will explain the threat, review the background, and then take it on squarely and decisively.
