Three states have passed laws requiring the Ten Commandments be posted in public school classrooms.

Federal courts have blocked the laws, but appeals could bring the issue back to the Supreme Court, where a new "history and tradition test" the court adopted for religion freedom cases in 2022 puts established precedents into question.

Quick overview to catch you up:

3 states are challenging precedent against posting the Ten Commandments in public schools – cases that could land back at the Supreme Court

New laws mandating the Ten Commandments’ display in schools have faced lawsuits in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.

You're missing the real issue, though. Gerrymandering is absolutely allowed and even encouraged in the US system. That the map is gerrymandered is not relevant to this question.

The question in the case is whether the METHOD of gerrymandering was legal. And the specific question before the Supreme Court here is whether the lower court followed proper procedure.

SCOTUS found that the lower court didn't follow legal procedure, so it stayed the lower court decision.

New research shows ranked choice voting works better than the usual “pick one” system, helping elect candidates most voters actually support and avoiding spoiler chaos.

We’re curious what you think: Should more places try it?

Ranked choice voting outperforms the winner-take-all system used to elect nearly every US politician

Ranked choice voting largely avoids the pitfalls of plurality voting, giving voters the power to express their true candidate preferences rather than being strategic.

Occasionally #Trump comes right out and admits that his handlers aren't giving him the real picture of what's going on.

It's really important to keep that in mind, that the guy is so sheltered from the outside world. as it clarifies the concern about the administration.

Trump isn't really in charge. The people around him use him.

Today #Trump supporters are crowing about how he keeps winning over every court that comes after him, he's a force of nature that no one can land a hand on, because he's just so awesome, and a rebuke against politicized use of the courts.

Trump keeps winning!

Unfortunately, this gets into the thorny question of whether something is a lie if the speaker really believes it.

The #Trump admin actually believes a lot of things that are factually wrong. Courts have trouble addressing such situations as they're supposed to be arbitrators of law, not of fact, so they're generally supposed to judge based on the record that's put before them.

It says a lot that these days have reenergized debates among legal scholars as to when factual errors are so egregious that a court has to call them out.

A federal judge tossed the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James — but “without prejudice.”

That key phrase means the DOJ could try again, if it fixes what the judge ruled was the unauthorized appointment of the prosecutor who brought the cases.

For Comey, though, the clock may have already run out.

laugh about how it was always a joke, because it goes both ways: the deal didn't promise Ukraine security, but it also didn't promise the US the minerals the president kept crowing about.

It was a little stunt that both Ukrainian and US officials pulled just to get Trump to shut up and let the adults talk.

“Jeffrey Epstein is not unique,” says a child sex trafficking expert. Actually, his case is “absolutely classic” in reflecting a wider pattern of how powerful (usually white and wealthy) men exploit vulnerable children.

Low prosecution rates, victim-blaming and systemic failures let trafficking flourish.

“There’s certainly no Trumpism without Trump, but MAGA without Trump would be like the tea party.”

Anthropologist Alex Hinton says that’s why the Epstein files matter so much to MAGA — they sit at the intersection of anti-elite conspiracy theories, Christian morality politics and deep loyalty to Trump.

The #Texas redistricting case points directly at the mess that VRA has caused, which landed the law in front of the #SCOTUS earlier this year.

In the district court's order blocking the new map you can see arguments echoing those against the VRA in the Supreme Court.

I think a lot of people are going to be upset about the VRA challenge but celebrate the Texas ruling without realizing their contradiction.
