SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

SCOTUS, which ordered Alabama to create a second Black opportunity district just 3 years ago, has lifted that order a week before the primary. The Purcell principle says courts shouldn't permit chaos too close to an election—it's now an open question whether there will even be a primary on schedule.

Ras Baraka has filed his amended complaint against Alina Habba for false arrest. It makes clear how much of this was an attempt to humiliate a Black mayor. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
42. The false Affidavit was made with malice, particularly seeking to assure that the
evening news included videos of the Black Mayor of Newark, New Jersey being led away in
handcuffs by federal officials.
43. Defendants kept Mayor Baraka in federal custody for over five hours. Ordinarily,
federal law enforcement officials issue a summons for the petty offense of trespassing. Usually, the alleged trespasser is not arrested or imprisoned for hours before his presentation before a
judge.
