Trump just gave Barr the OK to declassify.
Constitutional Crisis, full steam ahead.
Mark Brewer argued on behalf of the League of Women of Michigan to redraw "certain" districts.
Michigan GOP said, "We do not have enough time and besides, the same issue on gerrymandering is going on in other states.
So, here is my question:
If only "certain" districts have to be redrawn because there has been found substantial evidence to support the allegations of gerrymandering, well, I guess the public deserves to see what that is and how it happened.
I am going with my final answer to be stealin' the children, the land and the votes.
Here we have Judith Karandjeff, with all the accoutrements of being a trafficker of the tiny humans going all the way back to Jennifer Granholm, "Jenny from the Block", amongst other terms of endearment.
I smell Hillary, too.
It also seams Wayne County, Detroit was the birthplace for the League of Women Voters of Michigan launching constitutional ratification campaigns, the first being the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the Parental Rights Amendment, both born from the lust to re-animate the residuals of the peculiar institution.
Basically, what I am trying to say is, if the court has found that there was gerrymandering leading into the 2016 election, well, that would mean that there was election interference, which is why they are only trying to change, "certain" districts, which everyone knows, that would be federal evidence tampering.
Besides, Trump just declassified and this is Memorial Day Weekend and Mark Brewer is trying to save his soul, because he was running the MDP going all the back to 2014.
U.S. Supreme Court stays decision ordering political redistricting in Michigan
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday said Michigan's Legislature should hold off redrawing the state's political boundaries pending appeal of a court order.
Republicans in the state Legislature had asked Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to grant a stay in the order requiring new political lines to be redrawn by Aug. 1.
In late April, a three-judge federal panel ordered the state Legislature to redraw nearly three dozen boundaries for congressional and state legislative seats, saying they were unconstitutionally gerrymandered in order to favor Republicans.
As a consequence, most of the state's legislative and congressional boundaries would have likely been redrawn or left to the court to redo ahead of next year's elections.
Republicans argued in their request for a stay that the timeline ordered by the court was unreasonable and that district lines were already set to be redrawn after the 2020 Census. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is already considering substantially similar cases from North Carolina and Maryland that could affect Michigan's case.
A decision in those other cases is expected by the time the court's term ends in late June.
State House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, and several Republican members of Michigan's congressional delegation had filed a request for a stay with Sotomayor — who oversees the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals that Michigan is part of — saying the order of April 25th "forgoes any semblance of respect for state sovereignty."
"Put simply, all of the mandates of the District Court's order must be done under unsettled legal principles that the Court is currently reviewing," that request said. Several others were filed by other Republicans as well.
Democrats, included Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, objected to the stay, with Attorney General Dana Nessel's office writing an objection on her behalf.
"The facts and circumstances of this case ... do not warrant a stay," Nessel's office wrote. "
(Republicans) have shown only that complying with the district court’s order would be inconvenient, not that it would irreparably harm them in any way."
(Republicans) have shown only that complying with the district court’s order would be inconvenient, not that it would irreparably harm them in any way."
With similar issues already before the court's conservative majority, however, it was almost certain that a stay would be granted. Ultimately, whatever is decided in the North Carolina and Maryland cases could either effectively overturn the Michigan order, pave the way for a successful appeal or bolster the three-judge panel's decision.
The order issued Friday afternoon by the court indicated that Sotomayor, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, did not rule on it herself but presented it to the whole court. At least five of the nine justices have to agree for a stay order to be granted.
In the earlier order, the three-judge panel concluded that Republicans in charge of drawing and enacting the political lines after the 2010 Census redrew lines by "packing" or "cracking" geographic blocs of Democratic voters, meaning they were either packed into one district or their numbers so diluted in others as to make their strength far less than it would otherwise be.
The court found that violated the First Amendment right to association and 14th Amendment right to equal protection under
The Supreme Court also issued a stay on a similar case in the 6th Circuit out of Ohio.
