@AndrewAzlan@Acyn So what's the ultimate point? Should everyone without access to a group plan or ability to afford an individual plan just go without?
@JonathanTurley Surely a state supreme court is entitled to interpret its own constitution in the manner it seems correct and to distinguish that from the way a parallel jurisdictional (not superior in this case) court interprets similar language.
@JonathanTurley No. It speaks wholly to California law, which allows ballots postmarked by election day to be counted. Maybe the S.Ct will soon rule that illegal, and maybe it should be, but there's nothing nefarious or evidencing poor government performance.
@nhrJoeMorelli The devil is in the details. How are they doing it? Lacrosse, volleyball, and football all take schedules into account but in drastically different ways.
@liveoakrange@PpollingNumbers It's pretty obvious, I think. The only people that vote in GOP primary elections are usually Republicans and often a smaller particularly engaged subset. The 34% of all Americans that approve of him are probably close to 100% Republicans.
@_TheNoisemaker@DaveSteinSays@greg_price11 They weren't referring to any specific religion. The words say that expressly: "ALL men...are endowed by THEIR Creator..." A statement designed for universal application. They could have said "Americans" or "Christians" or could have made reference to Christian ideas of divinity.
@BartDePalma@mls1776@NewsHour The Native American settlement? Really? The country's murder and forced relocation (both of which are objective historical facts) is the same as people that broke into the Capitol in an (admitted) attempt to stop the lawful transfer of power?
@BartDePalma@idreamofgoodgov@NewsHour I can't recall a single Democrat who has stormed the capital. Can you? PR nationalists maybe? But they all served a decade or more in prison. Even if you think the election was "stolen" over a hundred courts of law (including both procedural and substantive) found otherwise.
@zztop5252@RedSox If anything, the complaint should be about Duran. He is 3 for his last 9. But was 0-16 before that. And his OPS his 100 points below Yoshida's.
@JonathanTurley The problem isn't disallowing racial gerrymanders, the problem is allowing political ones. If you just got rid of the ladder, districts likely would be minority- majority because you would keep districts geographically sensical.
@Clay4MainStreet CT was drawn by a bipartisan group. Designed to give both parties two safe seats and one tossup. Demographics changed.
MA? It's almost impossible to create even a battlefield district while keeping towns together (which of course would be objectively preferable).
@JonathanTurley How on earth does section 2 remain a powerful tool? You just have to say you're drawing maps for partisan, not racial, purposes and you're good to go.
@ZacharyDonnini But the blue areas have a lot bigger populations, right? 71% of a big number in Fairfax may well still overwhelm 90% of a smaller number elsewhere.
@JonathanTurley The Court is and always has been a political branch as Michael Klarman has shown. To pretend otherwise is dangerous because it results in greater power given to decisions than should be.
