Is this a step forward, back, or sideways in overturning the 2 party system in your opinion?

Part of me feels like its a crazy idea, but thats probably the part with over 200 years of the 2 party system on my mind. I read the full decision (second link) and pretty much agree, especially since it was a facial challenge (b/c no primary had used the new law yet).

glad to hear some people still have their head on straight


as compared to

"In dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia said Washington's system would cause a political party to be associated with candidates who may not represent its views. Scalia was joined by Justice Anthony Kennedy."

those who seem to care more about protecting politics.
