I’ve been following SCOTUSblog lately because, given Trump’s total disregard for the law and Congress’ inability to do anything about it, I think that the judiciary is our last hope of avoiding tyrany.
There’s a case in North Dakota about gerrymandering away the Native American vote. A federal district court ruled that a map drawn by the state legislature couldn’t be used and had to be redrawn; and when the state didn’t do it, ordered the use of a map drawn by the plaintiffs. The circuit court reversed that on the grounds that the people affected by the map don’t have standing to sue (or something); and SCOTUS have put the reversal on hold pending review by the Supreme Court in its emergency docket. Only three of the Gang of Six dissented, so maybe there’s still hope.
As expected, Amy Howe has the latest news and has more information about the issue in an earlier post.
Awww, I thought this was going to be a report on your health. Hope you’re doing as well as can be expected.
Yeah and yeah what Katydid said Bill, hope you are doing ok.
Thanks for the thoughts. Aside from being depressed about all the bad stuff happening in Gaza, Ukraine and the US, I’m doing OK. Current treatment is immunotherapy, just a half-hour drip every three weeks. Still no reappearance of any cancer.
And the Cardinals are just a game and a half out of the wild card spot. 😎
@ bill, thanks for the update, and I’m genuinely glad that you are doing ok with no reappearance of cancer. There is so much to be depressed about that I’m glad to get good news about you.
