Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

All the rapes – whether at infancy, or at 11, or 17 – were known to people in authority, in the latter two instances by law enforcement. Which makes it all the more puzzling that so little was done to help her. Horrific. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...?

Over at “One First,” I wrote about how the redistricting chaos we’re seeing in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia is something #SCOTUS *chose,* and how it belies both the entire purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s claim that it’s staying out of the political process:

The Supreme Court has not only accelerated the race to the partisan redistricting bottom; it is directly responsible for the chaos we're seeing on the ground.
