They don’t give a damn about their reputation
People don’t fear for their lives enough these days.
Won’t someone rid me of these meddlesome judges?
Do they have secret service protection too?
Nope!
Idk, a huge subset of Americans fear for their lives everyday right now with ICE being like the third most funded military in the world.
Wild considering public servants addresses are typically public too.
Maybe they change that next.
It said Florida and Ohio passed prohibitions on gerrymandering by referendum but they were flagrantly ignored by their legislatures (which are heavily gerrymandered.)
That their state courts haven’t stopped the illegal maps as per the new laws. Florida has only a statutory law referendum, Ohio passes constitutional amendments, which can’t be undone by the legislature without a supermajority.
But go figure, the legislature doesn’t feel like they need to honor their state constitution where all of their authority resides.
There is a link in the article to FL, but not the Ohio thing, anyone know any more about this?
Closest thing I know of is 2024 Ohio Issue 1 which was an attempt to create a citizen led committee that would draw the maps. A deceptive opposition campaign framed it as “requiring gerrymandering” and the Republican Secretary of State changed the ballot language to read that it would remove protections against gerrymandering. It was defeated, so I guess the article is correct if you go by that ballot language that was voted down.
So yeah there are protections against gerrymandering but only for the party who has the supermajority.
Yawn, I’ll say it again: October is martial law. You can do something now or fail doing something then. Me? My emigration will be complete by then. I’ll be just fine. Be sure you’re mad at the right people, and that’s not me.
Have the day you voted for. ✌️
Well Monday is on its way. I don’t expect the VA legislature to take this one as over and done. A mandate of the people supercedes the court.
And yet still not enough for a general strike.
well there’s one upside to the low number of seats.
