The constitution says each state gets X electors who then cast a ballot.
If the state can force them to do as they want, why even have electors? Just give each state X weight, and forget the electors.
One of the points in this process is to allow direction among st the electors to see past shenanigans that may have happened in their state and bypass it. With this supreme court ruling, that's no longer the case.
This ruling does nothing to protect anything, as the ruling class in that state could just now declare all electors must vote D because we said so.

False premise. It's forcing them instead to do as the voters want, as evidenced the the popular vote result in the state—where "popular vote" is actually a thing.
At the national level, "popular vote" is a fantasy used by Democrats as an excuse for LOSING. If it were a real thing, then Trump would have campaigned in CA, TX, FL, NY, and IL only....and won it even more handily than he did in 2016. People forget he actually WON the "popular vote" by millions of ballots, since only legal, legitimate ballots count. Best estimates are about six million illegal votes, so instead of losing by three million, he won it by three million. Ouch, facts hurt, don't they, lefty losers? Yes, they do.
ONLY LEGAL VOTES COUNT.
ONLY LEGAL VOTES COUNT.
ONLY LEGAL VOTES COUNT.
Repeat it until it starts to sink in through all the drugs and and purple dye.
We use the Electoral College, in order to keep NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami, and Houston from dictating the result of every election, making everyone else's vote pointless.
You know it was ludicrous if it was a unanimous ruling.
I disagree.
