Not one of these unelected jurists have cited even ONE, Article, Section or Clause of either the Constitution of the Voting Rights act that requires a state's congressional delegation to mirror its racial demographics. NOT ONE.

They are using the same turgid "logic" that Roberts did to rewrite O-Care to make it "legal."

The State of Alabama needs to ignore this decision and place any Federal officer attempting to enforce it, under arrest.

Majority-Minority districts are inherently racist, and unconstitutional. //

There is no Constitutional authority for the federal government to impose its preferences on decisions regarding redistricting by the state legislatures. That is the states' lawful prerogative. The Voting Rights Act is statute, which is inferior to Constitutional law. Even if one argues it was once necessary, it certainly has outlived its usefulness and is without Constitutional foundation. It usurps state power and gives it to the federal government.

It is racist to draw boundaries to favor ANY race over another. This order by a federal judge displays far more prejudice than the map drawn by the state legislature. It literally orders districts along racial lines, and the goal has little to do with actual race. The goal is clearly to create another Democrat district. The inescapable conclusion is that the court believes black citizens are all supposed to think and vote alike, and that this must be considered a permanent condition. I don't know what can be more racist than that. The court owns that position now. //

Exactly. They are arguing that is you don't put black people people in district with a majority black people, they aren't represented. How stupid.

So by extention then, the other black people not in those districts are also disenfranchised. So are the white people in the black districts. So, it's okay to disinfranchise people as long as you make a group or two that are not? Moronic.

So, in essence, the Biden White House is trying to sneak in a provision that would essentially require employers to provide accommodations for women seeking to have abortions – the exact opposite of what the measure was intended to accomplish.

A couple years ago, as the writer Sarah Elizabeth was working on her book, "The Art of Fantasy" (out September 12th), a particular illustration kept popping into her mind's eye. It was the cover for the 1976 Dell/Laurel Leaf paperback edition of Madeleine L'Engle's classic sci-fi/fantasy novel "A Wrinkle in Time."

She wanted to include the piece in her book, but she didn't know who the artist was. "I thought, 'Oh, pish posh! Surely I'm going to find this in the first page of Google.' No. No, no, no!"

The answer isn't on any page of google, or any page of the physical book itself — not the copyright page where the rest of the credit information is, not the front or back cover, NOWHERE.
