    I’ve been on Sirius for two years now. So much better than local radio.

    Meanwhile, in North Carolina, Republicans introduced HB 376, which would change state Senate districting from one based on population to a model where each state senator represents two counties, regardless of population.

    Through all the debate about malfeasance of the ex-President and dining habits of a potential candidate, Democrats need to keep their eyes on the ball: the GOP’s consistent attempts to codify subversion of the democratic process into law.

    Reynolds v Sims says what?

    This would require a federal Supreme Court ruling overturning a decision made in the early '60s.

    Makes you wonder if Uncle Clarence and his klan in SCOTUS have given the high sign that they'll do away with that 60-year-old ruling in Reynolds v. Sims, which helped people like Uncle Clarence cast a meaningful vote in the first place in places like Alabama, from which it arose. Final score in that one: 8-1.

    3. The Equal Protection Clause requires substantially equal legislative representation for all citizens in a State regardless of where they reside. Pp. 377 U. S. 56l-568.
    (a) Legislators represent people, not areas. P. 377 U. S. 562.(b) Weighting votes differently according to where citizens happen to reside is discriminatory. Pp. 377 U. S. 563-568.

    Once the Voting Rights Act was gutted, the GOP passed a bunch of laws reducing the power of non-white voters. This is what they stand for.

    But what about AOC's social habits? What about Hillary's emails?

    Trump never, ever should have been allowed to become POTUS/demonic cult leader.

    At best, in 2017, he would have been the subject of a Comedy Central celebrity roast instead of being POTUS.

    "Donald J. Trump. What's the J. stand for? Jerkoff?"--Andrew Dice Clay at the roast.
