The Supreme Court of the United States Thread

[BigOrangeTrain]

Right, but if a state legislature, with the goal of thinning the power of black votes to the point they have no effect, acts to that end, that is both unconstitutional AND a violation of the VRA.

It's a sad comment on the country that 160 years later there are arms of State government, almost entirely in the South, that have the very goal of diluting any political power of blacks because the current structure feels threatened by it.

Your last paragraph is pure conjecture

I have read the actual Congressional debate. I have read the academic research.

The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were passed right after the Civil War. Without question. Each was focused on race and due process and was designed to break up what was then racial Democratic control of the South. (The parties have switched over time, as you know).

Not really. Since the civil war the democrats have made keeping black people subservient to and dependent on them a main focus of their policies. The reality is that only their methods and words have changed, not the actual heart of the Dem party.

 

[Sudden Impact]

I probably should not have said that. Just frustrated by the oversimplification of the subject. Suffice it to say I've really studied the original Congressional record on it and in context of Reconstruction it's not really debatable.

I understand. You have taken some heat in here, but that is a Noteworthy Event in a Career worth noting. It's hard to peg people on Volnation and hard to determine who is serious or just if it is just banter.

Maddow Warns SCOTUS: Rule Our Way Or Americans Won’t Respect Rule Of Law

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow warned Wednesday that Americans will lose respect for the rule of law if the Supreme Court‘s “new conservative supermajority” goes against leftist positions on election results, affirmative action, LGBTQ issues, and voting rights.

It was a pending Alabama redistricting case which set the cable news host off. Supreme Court observers believe justices are poised to uphold a state Congressional map that was challenged under the Voting Rights Act as minimizing black representation in the House of Representatives.

Two security incidents occur at Supreme Court in same hour

Supreme Court in the news for stuff going on outside the courtrooms.

Two security issues within an hour of each other. Unclear if they are related. Two older guys, both 70+, getting arrested, one from CA and the other from GA.

The GA guy had a gun in his car, not sure what lead to them finding it. Weird situation.
CA guy went full sovereign citizen mixed with some serious Karen energy, demanding to speak with the chief justice and he was a higher authority.

Well that's not exactly what she said. But given the source of article I'm not surprised they would re-characterize it so as to mischaracterize it.

Yeah, that's also a misleading characterization of a temporary order.

I have cases with the sovereign citizen types. If you ever needed evidence that there is an echo chamber on the internet for wackadoodles, just talk to one of these folks for 20 minutes.

Scary.

As I recall a few days ago you advocated that candidates should be put under oath and forced to answer questions about their health decisions. So you mean more wackadoodle than that?
