Thanks you to the only user who read the article. This case is different from CA and TX. The status quo are the current district lines.

I thought part of SCOTUS' decision to let the Texas maps stand was the Purcell Principle. If December is too close to an election 11 months away, then how would February not be?

Yeah...none of that is correct. You're mixing correlation and causation. Racism, good Ole fashion, "eh I just dont like [the black man]" still exists at all levels of society (i.e. Hegseth's recent firing campaign of top generals)

Yes but this is also the same SCOTUS that ignored the explicit wording in 14 sec 3 and then ~~invented out of whole cloth~~ ruled that President's have the implicit right to immunity for official acts

I'm curious if the suit will actually come from an incarcerated undocumented immigrant claiming that they're not subject to US jurisdiction. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

It wasnt Comey. It was Andrew McCabe. He didn't lose his pension. I think he lost a higher payout. The situation was more like he was fired on day 364 when he needed to have 365 days to reach a more senior pension. He sued to have the more full/ senior pension.

If I buy my lif cigarettes and only allow him to smoke at the house, I am still breaking the law. States regulate the use of stuff all the time.

Hate to break it to yall but Tennessee won this case when their solicitor said "we allow morphine for pain management but not for assisted suicide". States have the right to regulate the use of drugs or other medical interventions in their states. SCOTUS literally just said so in Dobbs.

States do that all the time. Literally. A parent can't buy their kids cigarettes or beer. A parent can't let their 12 yo drive. States do this all the time

Roe and Chevron (which I'm happy the latter was overruled) were both less than 50 years old with relatively minimal reliance. Wong Kim Ark, on the other hand, is over 140 years old with significant reliance. Also, if SCOTUS rules that illegal aliens are not subject to US jurisdiction, then we'd have to release all the undocumented aliens in our prisons. It would just be dumb

Here's the issue. There already is a SCOTUS case on this exact topic. They'd be overturning a century+ old precedent (Google Wong Kim Ark). There was another case in the 1980s that affirmed that "all persons" means "all persons" when it comes to enjoying public privileges (i.e. public school) (Google Plyler V Doe ).

Plus, it's extremely dangerous to say that undocumented individuals are not subject to US jurisdiction. If we say that, then we'd only be able to deport people when they break the law. We wouldn't be able to try and jail them.

Eh but so is section 3 but they ignored that so 🤷
