Agreed. Roberts wants to practically eliminate the voting rights act, but not sure he's ready to go full bore into open Jim Crow.

This will be the case that is the end of US democracy or the beginning of the second civil war. Ruling that state legislatures can basically make any election related law without state judicial oversight is practically going back to the post reconstruction 1880s. With extreme gerrymandering...

I definitely don't know Pennsylvania law, but I'm surprised the state legislature would have the power to impeach a local city official. i would assume the only people the state could impeach are state powers, but I guess not there. Still seems strange legally.

This is spot on. It's the same when republicans talk about "it's not a gun issue but a mental health issue". But the same republicans would vote against every bill that would spend money expanding access to mental health treatments. The entire talking point is nothing but a bunch of hypocrisy...

I told my wife about the anti Roe decision and explained how the legal logic is likely to allow the elimination of certain birth control rights as well. She doesn't follow the news or pay attention to every little thing like I do, but she said if states start banning and reversing birth control...

The most effective birth control like IUDs will be banned in those states since some of those prevent fertilized eggs from implanting, which extremist would consider abortion. Plus the legal logic of rights to privacy were part of Griswold which even allowed states not to ban birth control...

I just saw that a committee in Louisiana advanced a bill that would potentially make it a felony murder charge for both the woman and doctor for an abortion procedure. https://www.theadvertiser.com/story/news/2022/05/04/louisiana-lawmakers-advance-bill-make-abortion-crime-murder/9648833002/

It has to be almost 90% someone on the conservative side of the court aligned with Alito or Thomas. Maybe the justices directly or a clerk, but the timing doesn't really make sense from the liberal side. If a liberal clerk wanted to leak it, why not do it back in Jan/Feb when the draft was first...

Crime is definitely mostly a problem associated with poverty, and the historical disproportional bias against black people is due to historical discrimination and racist government policies. However, some studies do show, at least on a short/intermediate term basis that more police officers in...

Looks like I might be correct with my prediction. Ohio republicans just refused to submit a new Ohio Supreme Court ordered map by the deadline today. I guess the next step will be either contempt charges by the court or republicans suing to move to the US Supreme Court.

I wouldn't be surprised where the next step is Ohio and NC republicans appeal to the Supreme Court and they put a stay on those state supreme court decisions saying those state maps to be redrawn.

Democrats probably should just take whatever deal Manchin might would pass for a few programs for the entire 10 year period just to get something and then fight for popular items in single small bills. I know they won't pass because of the filibuster but you need to continue bringing them up...

Urban is the perfect coach for Notre Dame. He's going to be fired in Jax at the end of year anyway, might as well go ahead and quit for his dream job in college.

I don't understand the Kelly to LSU thing at all. Seems like a desperate move by the LSU AD just wanting a "name" hire after missing on Riley. Kelly doesn't seem to have either super elite coaching or the personality to recruit well enough for LSU. I see a constant 8-4 tenure with that hire.
