The Alabama governor is then going to fuck around and find out. He's not above the law and failure to comply with a court order could result in prosecution.
Their goal isnt to win this fight, it's to delay the process long enough to install someone that'll declare them the victor.
I hate to be cynical but yeah this is absolutely right.
The “punishment” will likely be a bunch of officials saying “wow that’s really bad.” And when that is the only punishment why NOT try to force your political will?
Hate to say it but the brazen wackos are often the ones moving mountains.
Who's going to prosecute him? Garland? Lmao.
Her. Kay Ivey is a woman.
I'll admit the idea Alabama could have elected a female governor did not occur to me, seems somewhat out of character tbh.
Watch 2 minutes of her speaking, you’ll understand. She’s a GrandKaren.
She. The governor is a woman.
And Dems will refuse to either A) send in the national guard to enforce the law or B) say fuck it the courts are irrelevant and ignore all the BS decisions they want
I thought we settled this shit in 1865.
1869 at the latest (Texas v. White)
Not even a little.
There was th Civil War and white folk got to pretend shit was settled while back folk knew better. Took until the 60s for things to start to shake up and even then White's weren't sure they should support something like requiring equal treatment.
Then we got the Voting Rights Act Then SCOTUS, in recent years, decided we didn't need that anymore. People are legitimately surprise the Court decided this way. Recent rulings have been a constant erosion.
No doubt. I was thinking about Southern ‘patriots’ deciding they can ignore the federal government when it suits them. But to your point, they had to send in marshals just so little kids could go to school, and that happened in living memory so … yeah.
The three-judge panel that unanimously ordered the existing map redrawn last year is set to hold a hearing on Aug. 14, when it could decide to tap a special master.
