@GottaLaff We already know SCOTUS is compromised, the rules for appointing justices haven't been followed. The US doesn't have a legitimate Supreme Court, it just has a bunch of of people dressed up pretending to be justices and everyone seems to be playing along. ⅓ of the US federal government is currently non-functional.
@GottaLaff
We KNOW the SCOTUS is compromised. Thomas and Alito through their wealthy friends and unwillingness to recuse + Gorsuch/Kavanaugh/Barrett by their association with Leo and lying during confirmation.
The FedSoc and clerk network is the back channel between all these crazy rw lawyers.

No, Ifill’s great. Was mocking the sudden realization that this is being done intentionally. Of course it’s intentional. It’s the push to fascism and corporate media leads the way.
@jeaton Ifill's "sudden realization"? That's what I'm saying, she's more than aware of what's been going on, how things work. It's Sherrilyn Ifill, for goodness sake.
Maybe the public is caught off guard, but Sherrilyn? I highly doubt it.
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or membership in one of the language minority groups identified in Section 4(f)(2) of the Act.
This is not a surprise. It is much like what has happened since before and after Jan 6. I don't doubt it when I see, read or hear opinions that state it began with Reagan & has slowly evolved since.
The Alabama government’s briefs before the three-judge panel in September referenced a concurring opinion by #Kavanaugh that questioned whether “race-based redistricting” can “extend indefinitely into the future.”
Alabama further relied on arguments — also rejected by the U.S. District Court — that a subsequent U.S. Supreme Court decision this same term ending affirmative action in college admissions (called Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard ) compels the Court to find that a state’s use of a map in which “race predominates” now violates the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection. As in Milligan, Kavanaugh filed a concurrence in Students for Fair Admissions, emphasizing the potential for #time#limits on race-related policies.
In addition, there now appears to be a significant connection between Alabama’s post-Milligan map redrawing process, #Leo’s powerful national dark money network, and Kavanaugh.
The tangled web of previously unreported ties centers around #Marshall, Alabama Solicitor General Edmond #LaCour — dubbed “the architect behind Alabama’s voting rights defiance” — and the D.C.-area law firm #ConsovoyMcCarthy, the firm founded by William #Consovoy, a now-deceased former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas who represented Shelby County in Shelby County v. Holder.
In Shelby County, the Supreme Court invalidated Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act and its vital preclearance provision, which protected against unilateral state changes to voting rights and maps in states that had a documented history of racial bias in administering elections in order to disenfranchise Black voters. #LeonardLeo#scotus#darkmoney#clarencethomas#FedSoc#ShelbyCountyVsHolder#VotingRightsAct#racebased#affirmativeaction
Golly. You don't think the Supreme Court is compromised, do you? I mean, whatever would make you think that? It's not like they're taking luxurious vacations with extremist petitioners or anything like that.
