Speaking of Republican authoritarianism:

This is…nuts.

After voters in Ohio said they want abortion access in their state and passed an amendment in order to do so, the Republicans in its legislature respond by proposing that the judiciary be stripped of its ability to enforce that amendment. https://t.co/6mmoP974Hp— Katie Phang (@KatiePhang) November 10, 2023

The INDEPENDENT STATE LEGISLATURE theory may not have gotten the full approval of the majority of the Supreme Court, but it remains alive and a threat to both democracy and human rights wherever unaccountable Republican legislatures face any constraints on their power.
