Courting Disaster 0

Recently, the Supreme Supremacist Court ruled that Alabama had to redraw its House districts because black persons, who make up a quarter of the state’s population, were under represented. Instead of one majority black district, said the Court, there must be at least two. Alabama has indeed redrawn its districts, once more with only one majority black district, ignoring the Court’s ruling.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gene Collier has a theory as to why:

. . . I’ll refer you to one of the first interviews (Alabama Senator Tommy) Tuberville did after getting elected in November of 2020, in which he identified the three branches of American government as “the House, the Senate, and the executive.”

See, there is no judicial branch, and thus no Supreme Court. So if you hear from SCOTUS on something, you can comply, don’t comply, up to you.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
