Kagan's dissent is all scorchers, but this is really frying me. As long as state legislatures wait until the last possible minute, according to the SCOTUS majority, they can *always* get away with rigging the lines—no matter how flagrantly—because it'll be the "eve of an election."

easy to imagine benny johnson huffing asbestos on camera to own the libs
it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.
A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

“I knew that if I stayed at Yale, there would be pressure not to bring the Trump administration’s wrath onto Yale. I knew that Yale would try to normalize the situation, escape being in the press, urge us to see the fascists as just politically different, and talk about polarization.”
I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats.
If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats:
It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!
