Hi Prof. Freeman - has there been any thought to releasing these episodes in audio form in a podcast feed? You know, for the Back Story and Now & Then fans? 😇

This opinion makes it very clear that Trump's Justice Department screwed up badly here. Texas could've just drawn a partisan gerrymander and gotten away with it. Instead, the Justice Department (unnecessarily) injected race into it, directing Texas to draw an unconstitutional *racial* gerrymander.

Note: The court ruled that Texas violated the 14th and 15th Amendments by discriminating on the basis of race when drawing its new Republican gerrymander. So this opinion will not be fatally undermined by the Supreme Court's impending blow to the Voting Rights Act; it has an independent rationale.

So very sorry. It was the same for us, almost a year ago precisely. Aggressive cancer. He was too young and a wonderful pet.

It seems that she, like many, has a hard time accepting that she is an utter mediocrity.

Still poignant, Jason. Life is so much bigger than baseball. Thanks for (re)sharing.

“Demonization of your neighbor” is the most powerful form of plastic surgery.
