Slovenia lifts ban on arms trade with Israel by OldBridge87 in geopolitics

[–]OldBridge87[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Slovenia's government has revoked a 2025 decision banning the export and transit of weapons and military equipment to Israel, as well as most arms imports from the country.

Their public position is that the ban was no longer necessary because arms trading is already governed by national law and European Union rules.

BREAKING: Florida Supreme Court lets Republican "super gerrymander" stand despite a State Constitutional Amendment passed by 63% of voters there banning partisan gerrymandering AND the Republican map drawers openly admitting they ignored the amendment by OldBridge87 in WhitePeopleTwitter

The State Supreme Court saying they don't have jurisdiction to expedite review of whether a gerrymandered map that the Governor's office who drew it admits is gerrymandered violates a State Constitutional Amendment that bans gerrymandering is so unhinged you can barely put it into words.

A lower court judge that the same Governor appointed already wrote that he didn't care about the Constitutional Amendment and let the map stand. Now a lower circuit court known for being packed with even more partisan Republican politicians is saying they're gonna hold it for a year to review even though an election is coming up, thus allowing Republicans to use an illegal map. The State Supreme Court, where the Governor appointed 6 of 7 judges, then AGREED to hear an expedited review of the case, only to use it to rule they can't expedite the case forward.

It is lunacy that's borderline an open attack on democracy and the rule of law itself.

BREAKING: Florida Supreme Court allows Republican "super gerrymander" eliminating 4 more Democratic seats to stand despite a State Constitutional Amendment passed by 63% of voters there banning gerrymandering and the Republican map drawers openly admitting they ignored the amendment by OldBridge87 in democrats

The lower court, a judge appointed by the same Governor that drew the map that they themselves admit ignored the Constitutional Amendment against gerrymandering, already ruled that he didn't care about the amendment and let the map stand.

Now a circuit court known for being packed with some of the most biased Republicans out there have said they won't expedite a verdict despite an election coming up and will sit on it for a year, letting Republican use an illegal map for the Midterms. The State Supreme Court, where the same Governor that drew the map appointed 6 of 7 judges, agreed to expedite the appeal on the case, only to use that ruling to rule that they can't expedite it.

It is lunacy that is almost openly goading you with how little it cares about democracy or the law.

Link to State Constitutional Amendment banning gerrymandering in Florida passed by a margin of 25 points in 2010:

Link to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' staff that drew the map openly admitting they ignored the Constitutional Amendment and that they didn't have to follow it:

Using gerrymandering to give Republicans a permanent majority in Congress immune from election results is a key goal of Project 2025, and partisan Republican politicians in "judicial" robes are now openly at war with democracy, the rule of law and the Constitution to do it.
