Federal Judge in Texas? Dont even need to open the article to know that has to be that fucker in Amarillo.
Damn it I hate this timeline
Yup. For those who are not aware, they structured that district specifically so that all lawsuits filed in certain zip codes in Amarillo go to this guy. So any time they need a convenient MAGA cout ruling, they find someone in Amarillo to file the lawsuit over it.
Also says something about Amarillo ~~I'm~~ in general that they can always find their plaintiffs there.
Hmm... Sounds blatantly illegal.
Put it on the pile, I guess.
It was a key component of the southern strategy that the Republican Party focused on. Basically, you don’t need to pack every court. Just structure one area in a way that one or two ultra-con judges can rule on everything.
When I was in high school, in government class we had an assignment where we had to draw different districts for Texas - that depending on how you divided it, you could make either party win.
It’s disgusting. It’s ultimately about denying African Americans representation.
I read this as MAGA cunt ruling
Those two are basically the same now
It will eventually lead to the end of American based hegemony. It is going to take about a decade and a lot of suffering of the American people.
But on the flip side China will have more room to grow wheat.
I had the unpleasant experience of having to stay a night in Amarillo on a road trip. I went to a bar close to my hotel, and every single person including the fucking bartender was smoking.
It was disgusting, I got a large round of drinks for my group and we went to the patio where nobody was and away from the smoke, we did roshambo to determine who had to go back into the cancer room to get more drinks.
I had to go in twice and each time this man was over explaining pool to some woman, over what was probably 30 to 40 minutes I don't think she ever took a shot, and that dude was still talking out his ass.
Also, just like in the movies some guy comes out and walks up to us and says, "y'all aren't from around here", I kinda got anxious, but it turned out he was a nice person and even educated and just desperate for a decent conversation.
Amarillo is a shit hole, and Lubbock is even worse, probably the most toxic air I have ever had to endure, it was nauseating.
