Public Meeting Announcement:

The Monday June 15th 1:00pm public hearing for the Laughter Rd. / I-269 proposed commercial rezoning has been rescheduled to Friday June 19th at 1:00pm.

Location is still the same, 3rd floor of the DeSoto County Administration building located just off the square in Hernando at 365 Losher St.

[Robert Foster @RobertFosterMS]

After multiple rezoning attempts for RV parks and truck stops, it should now be abundantly clear: the Hernando and Lewisburg communities do not want these developments in their backyards.
These developments have their purpose and place — just not in District 5 of DeSoto County.
I was elected to support the will of my community, and that is exactly what I will continue to do.
Vox Populi, Vox Dei

Any politician or judge delaying the SAVE America Act or post-Callis redistricting is committing political sedition in the eyes of voters. Ask Indiana state senators and U.S. Sens. Cassidy (LA) & Cornyn (TX). In politics, perception is reality.

[Robert Foster @RobertFosterMS]

It doesn’t matter that we already held primaries in MS — they’re going to sue no matter what.
Call a special session and redistrict now. If courts delay it for this cycle, we implement next year.
Voters want Mississippi in the fight. Pick a side.

We need Trump to come down to MS and take our Governor behind the woodshed. @DonaldTrump @tatereeves

Incredible how some “MS Republicans” are excusing our state leadership’s foot-dragging on redistricting — “being cautious,” “taking our time.”
They’ve had years to draw maps, and we’ve all known the Callais decision was dropping by June. We might not all be learned lawyers, but we’re not near as dumb as they are making themselves sound right now.
It’s pathetic watching grown men who claim to believe in the Constitution argue we should keep violating it just because “wE aLrEaDy hAd A pRiMaRy.”

@RobertFosterMS Not a single person has made that argument you imbecile.

[Robert Foster @RobertFosterMS]

Forgot to add @Andy_Taggart to this list of course. Silly me.

[Robert Foster @RobertFosterMS]

Can’t wait to read the opinion pieces by the likes of @RussLatino @SpencerMRitchie @grantcallen @bricewigginsMS et al arguing why MS shouldn’t redistrict right now and draw out @BennieGThompson — because “wE aLrEaDy HaD a PrImArY” — when the district clearly violates the Constitution.
Already making homemade ranch dressing for their incoming word salads. 🥗

[Robert Foster @RobertFosterMS]

You are really embarrassing yourself.

[Russ Latino @RussLatino]

I’m literally giving people like @RobertFosterMS their fastest path to a win and for some reason they don’t want to take it. It’s almost like they’re just shameless ass clowns in search of attention.

[Robert Foster @RobertFosterMS]

Wow, @MichaelWatsonMS just said it was @tatereeves and @LynnFitchAG that voted to settle the lawsuit and not keep our Republcian supermajority in the state senate. All they had to do was fight a little and hang on until the Callais decision came down. This is what I suspected all along when I heard the vote was 1-2, but it’s good to have confirmation.

@RobertFosterMS I still don’t understand how those judicial districts got out of the legislature. On the legislative side, only one of the three members of the SBEC pushed to immediately challenge the result. I was outvoted 2-1.

[Robert Foster @RobertFosterMS]

Thank you sir. We need help up here to make it right.

What does it matter if one of us is a Constitutional Lawyer?

Having knowledge, understanding, and ability to articulate that understanding of our U.S. Constitution is not limited to lawyers.

It's one of the reason our founding fathers had faith in the common man. There is no requirement to be an attorney nor judge to sit as a Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Credibility of knowledge of the U.S. Constitution is not automatically bestowed merely by being a lawyer. Even a "Constitutional Lawyer."

A lawsuit can bring the matter before the court.

But, that does not negate the responsibility of our elected representatives to honor the oath they took to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. It's literally the one thing they swear an oath to do.

Redraw the lines. Hold another primary. Have an election based upon district lines that are within the guardrails of the U.S. Constitution.

Failure to do so means ignoring the oath and holding yet another election based upon unconstitutionally drawn district lines.

[Robert Foster @RobertFosterMS]

Called it. He’s big mad ya’ll. 💀

[Russ Latino @RussLatino]

Being the moron king to barking seals is easy. Being smart & governing well is harder.

So let’s say we start redistricting as a state after qualifying deadlines have already run statewide. And let’s say we redistrict statewide after primaries are already completed, with winning nominees selected. Set aside that this is unprecedented. Set aside what it does to the integrity of the election. Set aside the deluge of Due Process lawsuits that have nothing to do with the VRA that will hit the state.

What’s to prevent this new precedent from being used every cycle? Legislature doesn’t like the candidate the voters selected? Redistrict them out, invalidate hundreds of thousands of casted votes, and run the election over! Is this really where we want to go?

This isn’t about one election or one candidate you don’t like. Think hard. You don’t change the rules of a baseball series when game 1 is already in the books. Some of these folks can’t contemplate a universe in which their own gamesmanship ends up biting them in the ass. Others can, and don’t care, because they just want social media engagement.
