On May 19, plaintiffs filed this reply brief in Allan v Milligan, n.d., 2:21cv-1530. This is the original Alabama U.S. House redistricting case, which is still alive. Plaintiffs argue that the map the legislature passed was motivated by an attempt to discriminate against African-American voters. Thus it depends on the 14th amendment, not the federal Voting Rights Act.
The hearing will be at 9 a.m. in Birmingham on Friday, May 22. The case has a 3-judge panel.
Horsefeathers.
It was based on our Constitutional, per the Supreme Court, desire to discriminate against DemonRats, not negroes.
As for the improperly adopted 14th amendment, you really have to commit unnatural acts on the language to torture out a reading whereby it has anything to do with gerrymandering.
Crappy birthday to Independent Political Report, which has been online for 18 years today. Unfortunately, it has turned into Communist Crap Censored by Phillies (CCCP)
Also crappy birthday to the Cyberpig. He is turning 6 for the 9th time, or 9 for the 6th time today. When contacted by reporters for the Hobo Times he reportedly commentated
“If 6 was 9 I wouldn’t mind”
