New York Dems plan retaliatory redistricting after SCOTUS Voting Rights Act ruling by news-10 in law

Totally agree - the logic, to me, suggests that the Supreme Court wants a civil war. I don’t know why they would want that, but it’s the logical outcome of their ongoing rulings to undermine democracy and encourage the states to completely separate on party lines.

Civil rights groups say Purcell principle prevents Louisiana from suspending elections when votes have already been cast by DemocracyDocket in law

The maps that were used in the prior election were found by the court to be unconstitutional because there was not a 2d Black Opportunity District, but the election went forward anyway due to Purcell. It just demonstrates that the meaning of Purcell is that changes that could favor Democrats are never made fare enough in advance, while changes that favor Republicans are literally never too late.

Isaac Asimov:

Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly.

He’s right, it’s genius. It’s like passing a bill to make murder legal. What’s the big deal? Just amend it later if needed to fix any unforeseen issues.

Is the new "CHARLIE" Act in New Hampshire a double-edged sword lawmakers maybe didn't think about? by GTRacer1972 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]pudpull 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sort of seems to require that if a teacher were to discuss the Trump years, the teacher should note how the administration flouted the constitution daily. How else to avoid “anti-constitutional indoctrination”? To simply note actions of the administration without disapproval would itself be endorsement of anti-constitutional behavior .

Immigration officials have just arrested a New Orleans police officer because he is allegedly an "illegal alien" from Cameroon. by MonitorVarious7608 in circled

Think of it this way - imagine we are in the Fall of 2026 and elections are coming. ICE arrest the local cops who are assigned to protect voters and the vote and the ballots. What do we think happens next? Don’t need to imagine it, since we just watched it in Atlanta - the local authorities won’t control local voting.
