Discussion: Court Strikes Down GOP's North Carolina Congressional Gerrymander

My only concern with events over the past 24 hours or so is that the long-awaited GOP Civil War seems to be floundering with the rapid defeat of Bannon. C’mon guys, fight back! Draw Blood!

Oh, well - how about instead maybe we get some more indictments? :wink:

The rabble is rising, the GOP desperately needs to defend themselves. Let’s provide them with adequate arms.

Fair fight, and all that…

New Democratic Virginia governor appoints historic majority-woman Cabinet

For the first time, women are a majority of Virginia’s Cabinet. With a record number of women running for office in 2018, this could be a glimpse of the future.

The GOP will appeal this, the only way is to vote them out.

This all comes down to SCOTUS. Mitch McConnell looks more evil to me every day.

The Republican Party has no regard for the Constitution.

There’s the Constitution, then there’s God, then there’s the conservative movement. You knew that, didn’t you, Republicans?

Yes, but then just think about this:

the Supreme Court, which is currently considering a pair of cases to determine whether or not extreme partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional.

If the map illustrating this article is accurate, sea level rise is worse than I thought. A big hunk of the Outer Banks from Manteo to Buxton has disappeared!

Morning Call has done some excellent reporting on these redrawn districts (although their focus is the greater Lehigh Valley) and Fair Districts PA has made far more progress than many of us could have ever hoped for!

Just because their titular leaders have exited center stage, don’t be fooled that the Civil War has been resolved. Not a day goes by that I don’t see or hear a half dozen stories about the “endless infighting” in the Democratic party and yet I don’t see that at all in my real life. Yes, there are still some hangers on from the 2016 primary who can’t see a dead horse that they don’t feel needs kicking but, by and large, Dems feel united to me right now.

Not so, the GOP…

It’s like that first set of sheets that have been able to air dry in the sunshine on the clothesline after a winter of nothing but the dryer. It’s such a simple thing but it brings me such pleasure!

We’re getting more. Rawstory is reporting breaking news (from Reuters) that a US District judge has ruled that Trump cannot rescind DACA. I’m going to try and find out more - wouldn’t that be soooo delicious?!?

The judge’s last name was something like Alsup. The info was either from CNN or NYT
