Motown Bombers Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I just went and signed this petition: https://ballotpedia.org/Michigan_Right_to_Reproductive_Freedom_Initiative_(2022) Had to drive to Huntington Woods. Makes sense they wouldn't have any canvassers in Macomb County. Looked like they had quite a few signatures and they were only there 20 minutes.

gehringer_2 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I liked this line from Mark Melman about SCOTUS in 'the Hill' Quote Third, Americans are coming to learn that the legal doctrines about which the justices intone are not serious philosophies, but rather, merely excuses for achieving personal political objectives. A Quinnipiac poll, before the recent rulings, found 63 percent believing the Supreme Court is “mainly motivated by politics,” while just 32 percent thought the court was “mainly motivated by the law https://thehill.com/opinion/3540502-mellman-the-decline-of-scotus/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complete opposite of what it should be. I don't even want them to be driven by fidelity to theory. All theories are imperfect mappings onto real life. Every legal theory will end in injustice if pushed to it limit. We put living breathing people there at the top of chain exactly to do the sculpting when the necessary imprecision of rules and statutes runs into the messiness of real life. Their objective should be justice. Edited June 29, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984Echoes Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 24 hours? Wow! He's had enough! Also: he now sees what can happen when a liberal Justice overstays and then gets replaced by a modern times Republican Political HACK on the bench. Not good things.

It's really a tossup! https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/30/supreme-court-federal-elections-state-legislatures/ Quote Supreme Court to review state legislatures’ power in federal elections The justices will look next term at a case from North Carolina, where Republicans want to restore a redistricting map rejected by the state’s supreme court.

CMRivdogs Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The case, called Moore v. Harper, is centered on newly drawn maps of voting districts for North Carolina's 14 seats in the next U.S. House of Representatives. Republican state lawmakers want to resurrect a map that North Carolina's state courts struck down, finding that the map approved by the GOP-controlled legislature violated multiple provisions in the state's constitution by giving Republican candidates an unfair advantage through partisan gerrymandering. A court-drawn map has been put in place instead for this year's midterm elections. In their appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, however, the Republican lawmakers argue that the U.S. Constitution's Elections Clause gives state legislatures the power to determine how congressional elections are conducted without any checks and balances from state constitutions or state courts.

Archie Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Biden and the democrats got a win from SCOTUS today when they allowed Biden to end the stay in Mexico policy.
