That's what I've been wondering. What mechanism is there for the court to enforce it's ruling if everyone just says "naw, not today"? During civil rights the Kennedy's deployed the national guard to protect the citizens, but they can't make state legislatures write laws... So what now? Arrest all the politicians and force new elections? Link to comment

Moiraine Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Having legislators write their own maps is effing stupid in the first place, unless you create federal rules on the shapes of the districts. I’m okay with them squeezing whatever they can out of a 6 sided district. That would fix most of the problems. 1 Link to comment

Yes, she ended her own pregnancy. But, the bigger issue that she's being punished for is concealing and abandoning a dead body after she burned it and buried it. LINK. So, it's not like she went and got an illegal abortion and just for that is going to jail. Quote A Nebraska teen has been sentenced to 90 days in jail and 24 months of probation after terminating her pregnancy and attempting to burn and bury the remains. Celeste Burgess, 19, had pled guilty in Madison County District Court to "concealing or abandoning a dead body" earlier this year, according to court documents obtained by TODAY.com. The teen was sentenced on Thursday, July 20, documents show. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 This doesn't look good. McConnell almost looked like he had a stoke while speaking. He isn't aging well. And our 2 leading presidential candidates are aged old farts as well. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12341321/Mitch-McConnell-81-suddenly-stops-talking-helped-away-podium-press-conference.html Quote Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sparked health concerns on Wednesday when he suddenly froze during a press conference. The 81-year-old Republican was speaking at his leadership briefing when he stopped, unable to complete his sentence. McConnell was addressing reporters on the potential of impeaching President Biden when he abruptly took a long pause. Colleagues around him then rushed to help him away from the microphone.
