Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, issues a 17-page dissent to the 4-page order: "[J]ust as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court today doubles down on chaos."
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting.
Before the Court are two paths. Down one lies an orderly election, held under a tried-and-tested congressional map that protects Black Alabamians' right to vote and with which all voters, elections officials, and candidates alike are familiar. Down the other lies a chaotic election, held under a never-before-used congressional map that intentionally discriminates against Black Alabamians, that Alabama adopted in unashamed defiance of a prior court order directly affirmed by this Court, and that will require officials to change the voter registrations of hundreds of thousands of voters in just days at best, a task that Alabama previously represented would take months.
The majority chooses the second path and disregards both democratic values and the rule of law. I respectfully dissent.Weeks ago, I warned that vacating the District Court’s
injunction in these cases would “unleash chaos and . . . con-
fuse voters.” Caster, 608 U. S., at ___ (dissenting opinion)
(slip op., at 4). Nevertheless, the Court forged ahead. Now
the Court is squarely faced with a record of the turmoil it
has caused and the harm it has wrought. Yet just as Ala-
bama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court to-
day doubles down on chaos. Because I choose to defend the
rule of law and the right of all Alabamians to participate
equally in democracy, I respectfully dissent.

The Talarico campaign is 100% focused on the kill shot here. And nice work, whoever made the ad -- there's one creepy courtroom clip of Hoffman replayed multiple times to good effect, while every shot of Paxton looks like he was just caught trying to fuck a poodle at a PetsMart.

In February, Trump purchased over $1 million in Dell stock. Just weeks ago, Trump told everyone to “go out and buy a Dell.” Its stock price is up over 60% since then. Now, Dell has been awarded a $9.7 BILLION Pentagon contract. See the problem here?

New York City is the media capital of the country. Delaney Hall is nine miles from Manhattan. There is zero reason to not have wall to wall coverage of the hunger strike, the horrific conditions and ICE violence. The indie journalists need strength in numbers, and not just during business hours.

This is impoundment. It's illegal (per the 1974 Impoundment Control Act) and unconstitutional (per common interpretation of Article I Section 8 Clause 1). The remedy is impeachment. Indeed, this IS what Trump was impeached for the first time around. It would be nice to have a functioning Congress.

Literally yes. Multiple state AGs literally argued birth control needs to be banned bc the state has a right to pregnant teens ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
Remote dispensing of abortion drugs by mail, common carrier, and interactive computer service is depressing expected birth rates for teenaged mothers in Plaintiff States,” the attorneys general allege in the complaint, which was filed before forced birth enthusiast Judge Matt Kacsmaryk in the Northern District of Texas’s Amarillo Division. They claim that decreased births constitute “a sovereign injury to the state in itself,” and causes downstream injuries like “losing a seat in Congress or qualifying for less federal funding if their populations are reduced.”
