It’s a curious thing, these poor partisan hacks get infuriated when they’re caught do their crimes—Trump especially rails mightily whenever he’s caught.

Shelby County took the door off. Callais bricked up the room from the inside. Same Court, same project, twelve years apart, and we are still supposed to read each ruling as an isolated act of legal reasoning.

Alito rewrote the statute. Congress made the test effect, not intent, because intent is unprovable and discrimination wears a suit now.

Requiring Black voters to prove they were targeted as Black and not as Democrats, in a country where ninety percent vote one party, is not a legal standard. It is a permission slip. And grounding it in the Fifteenth Amendment means Congress cannot legislate around it. They know. That is the point.

Landry suspended only the House primaries. Not the Senate. Not the amendments. Ballots already sitting in mailboxes in Ramstein and Shreveport are confetti. The middle ages had more consistent rules.

What the hell is a Supreme Court Justice doing on prime time TV

Edit: I mean, obviously the gutting of the VRA is the bigger issue. But its just so jarring how nakely partisan and lacking in scruples the majority supreme court justices are.

This is why I predict that the majority will overturn birthright citizenship and Alito and Thomas will immediately retire so Bove and Blanche can take their seats. Letting Trump shit all over the country so hard we'll be digging out of the cesspit for generations.

I know a thing or two about living rough. Steinbeck was one of my favorite authors. Once the number of people living in modern day Hoovervilles increases to the point where it cannot be swept under the rug, once a modern day Bonus Army finds its legs and a modern day FDR welcomes the hatred of the oligarchs, the changes needed will begin to materialize. FDR was all in on expanding the SC and he would have done it if enough of the New Deal blockers had not "retired" because they saw the writing on the wall. Justice is blind but not in a good way for the present court.

“Do as I say… not as I do.” Can we throw the conservative cranks off the Supreme Court when we rid this nation of the plague with which it infected? They are almost criminal and really need to be taught a lesson. Thanks, Liz. I am furious over these butt-kissing freaks🤬
