    Which is why it's always unwise to divide people by race regardless of the reason. It only perpetuates racism. All citizens have a right to equal protection under the law. If they aren't getting it, they have a right to address it.

    They took extraordinary measures to nullify minority voters. The entire intent was to eliminate opposing voices. That's not what the Founders had in mind when designing the system.
    What equal protection was violated? I'm not defending the TX redistricting, but drawing districts to benefit the majority party is the practice in every state. I'm not sure they nullified minority voices since drawing a district with a majority of black or Hispanic voters guaranteed them representation.

    When the founders designed the system they did not even specify how the House members were to be chosen within each state. Many elected all the members at-large. Single member districts were not required until 1842 and even then states ignored that requirement.

    Only a hypocritical cocksucker, probably a foreign spy, would attack one President for failing to uphold the law while attacking another for exactly the same thing.

    Sad. Hypocrites really do suck cock.

    Do you think that was what the Founders and other great leaders had in mind when they discussed fairness? Voting? A government of the people, by the people and for the people?

    Yes, they nullified voices by ensuring Republican party agenda issues, themselves often racist with Trump, rules the day in multiple districts.

    No doubt you and I can agree that life isn't fair, but you and I seem to be disagreed on whether or not our own government should be fair.

    They really did not change much in the districts. They had to add two districts and one is Republican and the other Hispanic.

    Being "fair" is impossible to measure when making partisan political decisions. Most states are not fair in redistricting. Even those states using "bipartisan" commissions to redistrict have results not "fair." WA, for example, tends to protect incumbents.

    The Republican agenda was already in control. They are criticized for using race/ethnicity when they draw the lines and criticized when they don't.

    I believe fairness is part of the intent of the Constitution.

    Do you believe the same way?

    Judicial review isn’t in the constitution. That practice wasn’t established until 15 years later with Justice Marshall. This is another one of those things similar to immigration law where we’ve been doing things a certain way for so long that it gets overlooked.

    In the federalist papers and some of Thomas Jefferson’s plans for the courts it’s clear that they all wanted some form of what we call judicial review today, but there never was a consensus. I don’t know if it was something that the founders felt didn’t need to be in there because it was a no brainer or since they never could reach a consensus they just decided to burn that bridge when they got there, so it wasn’t listed in Article 3 section 2 as a power of the court.

    If you haven’t already you should check out some of the articles out there on the feud between Adams and Jefferson surrounding the courts at the tail end of Adams’ presidency. It will make you feel better(or worse depending on your perspective) to see that they were going through the same petty bullshit power struggles that we see today.

    Agreed. This happened a few days before my sister died of that shit, and by that time, we all knew we were in for some serious evil. If I had been geographically close to him, and had known about this, I would have made a serious attempt to kick his ass(I always say I would "attempt" it because too many times I have said "I'm gonna kick that guy's ass" and ended up with my own ass beat).

    Sure, fair in terms of legal equality. The Constitution sets up a political system in which the winner has a lot of power advantages over the loser. That is not always fair but is the function of elections.

    Being fair in redistricting is a more complicated political and legal question. Should districts be drawn on the basis of race to give more minority representation? That is being fair to minorities but violates a basic constitutional principle.

    Americans want their side to win political power but are then squeamish when the winner exercises that power.

    What constitutes fair redistricting to you?

    HAHAHA. You moron. Since when does "judicial power" include deciding if a law is constitutional??? That's the issue and you are skirting it.

    BTW - it can be argued that the 10A gives STATES the power to decide if a law is constitutional or not.

    That's how i see it. The founding fathers never said who should have authority to decide if a law is constitutional or not. I think they realized that whoever had that power would be dictator. So they just left it up to the three branches of govt to somehow work it out. But in 1803 the SC simply ASSERTED that they had the power exclusively and they've had it ever since.

    AIDS is not contagious, but HIV (the virus that can cause AIDS) is. Not everyone who has HIV has AIDS. HIV is not transmitted via licked surfaces.

    That being said, I would be against paying anyone to lick things at the grocery store.
