The United States' closest allies see the boat strikes as flagrantly unlawful, and understandably they want nothing to do with them.

The judge had the authority to order a fair map b/c the people of Utah voted for a constitutional amendment requiring it. The GOP leg ignored it, leading to the suit.
Partisan gerrymanders are not illegal under Federal law. It depends on the state. And increasingly, the makeup of the state’s SC.

This is the easiest case for understanding gerrymandering. Salt Lake City, in the center of the state, is the only Dem leaning area in Utah. So GOPers divided the state into 4 districts, radiating out from SLC, cutting it into four quadrants, preventing the city from electing a Rep of their choice.

In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct.
Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah.
Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh.
Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count.
But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

Red states produce the bulk of our meat, true—though California still produces 8% of American beef.
But the red states’ role as America’s breadbasket is LONG gone. Most red state agro-economy has been redirected from human-grade food to commodity feedstock.
And much of that is on federal welfare.

It goes even deeper than this. The vast bulk of red state agriculture is corn, soybeans or seed crops.
And most of it is not for US human consumption! We export 20% of our corn, half of our soybean and seeds. The rest?
Most of it becomes oil, animal feed or….ETHANOL.

Half the fruits and vegetables in the US come from California, 75% of the nuts. The flyover states like to pretend they do much
