But in this country Ho’s complete disregard for #precedent, hostility to logic, and seething #hatred for #women and #pregnant people might just make him the next associate justice of the #SupremeCourt... Ho was sworn in as a Fifth Circuit judge in—wait for it—#HarlanCrow’s personal library.

#AlabamasGottenMeSoUpset: Many of the remarkable achievements of the #CivilRights movement were forged in Alabama. Yet today, the #whitesupermajorities that control both houses of Alabama’s #legislature, along with Alabama’s white republican #governor, Kay Ivey, continue to #disenfranchise #Blackvoters.

By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan The struggles of a century can be wiped out with the stroke of a pen, whether it is erasing Black history from state curricula, to gerrymandering state maps, to purging voter rolls and other methods of disenfranchising voters of color. All this is happening now in state legislatures across the country. It will take a force more powerful, the power of the people, to turn back this tide.
Investigators allowed those misstatements — and others — to stand, despite having nearly a half-hour’s worth of body #camera footage that disproved them. latest in a string of cases where the FID seemed to ignore #evidence that was potentially damaging to #officers who killed people in the line of duty.

After pledging a “thorough” investigation, the NYPD cleared the officers involved in the 2019 shooting. But new records show that investigators allowed police misstatements to stand, despite having body-camera video to disprove them.

The #Constitution was not made of diamonds and thus was never meant to be forever.
So, to get the #constitutional framework up to the 21st century level, more of a #legal #BigBang is needed.
#AbolishTheFilibuster might get constitutional reform finally started.

Important reminder:
#CitizensUnitedVsFEC must be repealed by reversely codifying it in #Congress.
Here is the most recent data what the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex has been spending on #contributions to #US politicians*.
In order to achieve this: #Supreme13--#ExpandTheCourt.
To get things going: break the #Senate stalemate:
#AbolishTheFilibuster
#StatehoodForDC
#StatehoodForPuertoRico
#AbolishTheElectors
Astounding. The #filibuster today blocked the ratification of the #EqualRightsAmendment, the substance of which reads, in full: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."
All but two #Republicans voted against it, saying it's "unnecessary" to add to the #USConstitution. 50%+ of the population might beg to differ (esp post Dobbs).
