@FrontierClips@nytimes That should be an insult to white people to say that equal opportunity laws hurt that race. That implies that whites need to have the power to discriminate in order to thrive. And I’d be upset if someone said that about my community!
I've both prosecuted and defended a LOT of cases and a $5k bond on basically attempted murder is a travesty.
Hate Crime enhancements are unnecessary. Charge him w/agg assault & attempted murder x's the number of victims and if convicted he could be sentenced to 100+ yrs
Mariah Carey's 'Jesus I Do' feat. The Clark Sisters re-enters the top 15 on Billboard's Hot Gospel Songs chart in its 17th week.
It previously peaked at #5, and #1 on Gospel Airplay.
@KimT8360@JudgeJoeBrownTV@BerniceKing If you think having drugs in your system justifies someone’s murder, then you’re not one to condemn someone’s judgment.
@SpeakerJohnson The Speaker of the House has a jacked up (and false) view of history. The Obama Administration had a deal with Iran that Trump unilaterally rescinded for no reason. He wasn’t even wise enough to have another Iran deal in place before exiting the JCPOA!
@iwrotesham@BerniceKing@LottieJoiner Political gerrymandering efforts that create advantages for a political party invariably involve creating advantages for white voters at the expense of racial minorities. Contrary to the SCOTUS’ legal myth , “political” gerrymandering & “racial” gerrymandering are the same thing.
@iwrotesham@BerniceKing@LottieJoiner And if you disagree with the creation of majority-minority legislative districts, then you need to keep that energy and be against political gerrymandering in general.
@iwrotesham@BerniceKing@LottieJoiner Well if there were a history of people over six-feet tall having their voting power diluted, then I would be in favor of remedies for that. The purpose of legislation such as the VRA is to correct historical inequities and its present day consequences.
@Buzzsaws1990@prairie_observe@BerniceKing You seem to be confusing the the concept of “abridgement” of one’s voting rights with “denial” of one’s voting rights. Those are two separate things.
@Buzzsaws1990@prairie_observe@BerniceKing Where did any of the dissenters say redistricting isn’t covered by the VRA? What you’re arguing is a moot point since there has been a decision made in the case.
@Buzzsaws1990@prairie_observe@BerniceKing If redistricting results in diluting someone’s right to vote because of their race, that certainly results in an abridgment of their rights. So that tweet is so inaccurate.
@Buzzsaws1990@prairie_observe@BerniceKing Apparently what Thomas thinks doesn’t matter since the at least six other justices (and not a few federal judges) apparently disagree.
@Buzzsaws1990@prairie_observe@BerniceKing Please look up the word “abridgement.” If you’re so adamant that redistricting isn’t regulated by the VRA, then why didn’t the SCOTUS just dismiss the case if the cause of action used by the plaintiffs in this case didn’t apply to the factual basis for their lawsuit?
