"I grew up in a sports household. Everything was a competition, and if you weren’t trying to win, then you might as well not try at all. Some of my biggest heroes were athletes with a certain swagger and confidence in themselves and their abilities.
The confidence, not arrogance, that they have what it takes to defeat their opponent. It had nothing to do with who was standing across from them, but everything to do with their own capabilities.

What we are currently witnessing is yet another chapter in the ongoing book of Republican inaction when it comes to Alabama politics. I once thought it was a matter of incompetence, then perhaps a lack of urgency.
However, the current redistricting issues have led me to a more cynical perspective: perhaps many of the Republicans in Montgomery are not really who we think they are.
The United States Supreme Court gave the Alabama Legislature an opportunity of a lifetime when they lifted the injunction that has forced Alabama to draw its maps based on race for years now," JP Plott writes.
