The US Supreme Court is increasingly wild and inconsistent. In this year's race preference case, they overturned a precedence that was a mere 14 years old.

Regardless of what you believe, the Florida court's decisions were consistent with its previous decisions in this area and the US Supreme Court was wildly inconsistent in the one key area, the earlier preference of most of the rep appointed judges to defer to state courts, state rights, etc. Staes rights do not defer to basic due process and equal protection issues and also the decision was based in part on a federal statute.....the USSC was not inconsistent...
