Season 3, Episode 19 (Show 123): More or Less Moore

May 3, 2023

Moore v. Harper is again up in the air as the North Carolina Supreme Court has ruled.  What might this mean, and how do we think about approaching the issues this raises?

The North Carolina courts are having fun with Moore v. Harper, reversing their prior rulings as their new (Republican) judges took the bench.  We’ve previously considered what the Supreme Court might do with the NC Court reconsidering things – what about now that this decision has come down?  Would this be “judicial restraint,” and what exactly is that frequently heard meme all about, anyway?  We also take note of important dates on the academic calendar and that leads to all sorts of insights on college admissions, the meritocracy, and somehow that takes us back to the Supreme Court again.
