So why I post this story here? Because of this guy, “The Torture King,” and his voting choices:
Birds of a feather……
A particularly robust reading of the theory — which the court turned aside — would have empowered state legislatures to make decisions on all aspects of elections, from congressional lines to how people register to vote and cast a ballot, without any opportunity for challengers to contest those decisions in state courts under state laws or constitutions. Opponents of the theory argued that it could have led to unchecked partisan gerrymandering, and laws that would make it harder for people to vote.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the court’s opinion, joined by the three liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, along with two conservatives, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented.
Bit surprised at who didn’t dissent.
They’re younger and thus more likely to be affected if the rumors come true: that the Supreme Court is completely reformed to counter the recent nonsense. Term limits, for example.
I’m only posting this here because the current mayor of Warren, MI is a Trumpish character. Also to show how creepy-looking he is.
This article shows what he used to look like:
No less creepy, but in a different style.
He does look a lot like Renfield.
Sure, but allowing Republican state legislatures to completely control every aspect of federal elections in those states would really put a wrench into attempts to create any kind of meaningful reforms at the Supreme Court level.
Good riddance. I hope he can still be called as a witness.
The GOP’s spent so much time pulling the wool over people’s eyes that they’re being undone by their inordinately itchy fingers.
To paraphrase the late George Carlin, he is if #2 means shit!
The lawsuit filed in Fulton County Superior Court on Tuesday asked a judge to compel True the Vote, a Texas-based conservative election organization, to turn over information about alleged ballot-trafficking during the 2020 presidential election. It was one of several unproven conspiracy theories floated after President Donald Trump was defeated in the 2020 election.
True the Vote has refused to provide details and documents supporting its allegations that several unnamed organizations paid unnamed individuals $10 per absentee ballot delivered to drop boxes across metro Atlanta. True the Vote objected to revealing information about an anonymous source who allegedly collected ballots and delivered them to drop boxes.
True the Vote repeatedly fought the State Election Board’s subpoena over the past three months, saying it didn’t retain contact information of its anonymous source, can’t verify his identity and has an obligation to protect him.
So, you can’t even verify who they are, but we’re supposed to just take what that source says as true, with no other evidence?
The ever-changing Barr.
