Summary
This morning, the Supreme Court agreed with two lower courts in their ruling that the Judiciary has no power to help House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s lonely effort to scrap a proxy voting system put in place to keep government moving amid a pandemic. (Since then, the Capitol, in fits and starts, has nonetheless become a super-spreader site.)McCarthy correctly argued that never before had lawmakers been able to cast votes without being physically present, and that the Constitution simply does not allow a member of Congress to delegate the power to vote to someone else.
