Clay Bennett for June 09, 2023

I hope they fix it stronger this time. I’m getting really tired of the repugs stacking the deck. ( Which is cheating)

Way to print a retraction :-)

A step forward perhaps?

Is it too much to hope for that Roberts and Kavanaugh might not be so ideologically motivated? Stay tuned…

Four remain staunchly true to their paramount principle, Whatever Is Best for the Republican Party.

I am flabbergasted the Kavanaugh of all people went the way he did. I am both pleased and suspicious. I can believe Roberts flipping but Kavanaugh? What’s in it for him? Will future cases with similar stakes get the same outcome or is this a fluke? We’ll see.

Well thank God for that!

Clarence had a 50 page hissy fit dissent.

There is a legitimate argument that voting district boundaries should not be molded to fit a racial balance, but, to be coherent, the legitimacy is NO district should be gerrymandered to benefit one group over another.

What about gerrymandering in OHIO? In the whole country?

Give me a break! The Supreme Court is throwing out a bone …setting us up for more urgent issues they’ll change or not change!

I think their trying to calm the waters after the abortion outrage.

Clarence Thomas writes the dissent…saying Thursday’s decision will force “Alabama to intentionally redraw its longstanding congressional districts so that black voters can control a number of seats roughly proportional to the black share of the State’s population.”

True. Also true the GQP of Alabama was trying to minimize the number of seats black voters could control so that they resulted in more GQP representatives.

I’m stunned that they got it right, for a change.

Gosh.. does this mean the colored voters “might” be getting some recognition? Surely, this is a trend that must be stopped. Republicans stand up now before all is lost. That old adage.. give them an inch and they will take a mile is still true. /S

This is a “so close!” moment – that vote was 5-4. Should have been 9-0.

Looks like the surprises don’t only come at birthday parties.

And no matter how politely they word it,Trump has been indicted for treason.

Clay, you are always able to cut right to heart of things. Congrats again!

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day I suppose. Hopefully, if Congress widens their hold on the Senate and wins back the House after the 2024 election, they can pass a code of ethics on the Scotus and/or institute a 20 year term limit for SCOTUS Justices (and make it retroactive for Justices who have served that long). For those keeping score, the majority opinion was made by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, Cavanaugh and Jackson. The four dissenting Justices were Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Barrett.

The only way Repubs can win is to commit voter fraud. Didn’t Paxton admit to purging millions of votes. Votes that would have given Biden a win in Texas and a very different Governor.

Perhaps some of SCOTUS is beginning to figure out that ringworm is more popular than they are.

Nice to see the Scotch Tape Store is still in business after all these years. (SNL 10/14/78)

It’s still an improvement. I’m shocked that this court would rule like that.
