#SCOTUS:🚨For the usual 6-3 majority, Barrett effectively guts the Alien Tort Statute & forecloses aiding-and-abetting liability under the Torture Victims Protection Act.💔A really big (and bad) ruling for accountability for human rights abuses.

Note: It's 6-3 on the ATS;🚨it's 8-1, with only Sotomayor dissenting, on the TVPA."

BREAKING:🚨”By a 6-3 vote, #SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use its never-implemented 2023 districts in this year's elections. They're likely to result in a 6-1, R-D split and the loss of 1 of 2 majority Black AL districts.”

Just to be clear: The recent Supreme Court decision gutting what remained of the VRA (Voting Rights Act) says that when states protect voting rights of black people, that's discriminatory against white people.
But when white people use the same process to deny blacks their vote, that's completely legal.
In case his hypocrisy was not in full view. Just to be clear.

But it will take decades, so I guess it's about getting people into office at multiple levels to enable us to #ExpandTheCourt. But like, I am not in love with trusting electeds to appoint good justices. I'd rather everyone involved in the process was promoting good candidates.
