Its hard to imagine that the Supreme Court thinks it has the power to establish laws and oversight of and civil matter. The Supreme Court and its judicial duties can only opine and issue comments and cannot write a law or regulate an opinions as a law. They have no policing powers so this oversight law on civil rights is wrong and baseless.

Voting rights and laws are civil matters and as long as these civil matters have been addressed by state and local laws the Supreme court is out of line and out of its jurisdiction of duties and no state is bound by this courts actions.

The supreme court cannot write laws and must maintain the separation of powers just as we maintain the separation of church and state, or at least used to until Utah authorized them to lobby on religious based doctrines and write laws of religious morality in to public law.
