Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Panel of Hawiian Appeals Court Judges Ignores Supreme Court Rulings and Invalidates Alabama's 7-0 Gerrymander, Claiming "Muh Racism"The Supreme Court did not forbid all judicial scrutiny of gerrymandered districts. However, it made it very clear that only real, demonstrable racism was cause to intervene in a state's legislative maps, and that Democrat Party bullshit about "dilution of minority voting power" wasn't enough. "Republicans are trying to reduce Democrat congressional power and that's racist, in a way, if you think about it" wasn't enough. An appeals court decided they're The Real Judges Here and ignored the Supreme Court ruling, citing the precedent of Muh Racism v. Muh Midterms.Alabama Republicans sought to use a previously blocked 2023 congressional map following the Supreme Court's recent ruling curbing the use of race in the drawing of electoral districts that helped minority communities increase their representation in Congress. Under that map, Republicans were slated to gain one electoral seat by erasing a Black-majority seat held by Democrats in the southeastern part of the state. However, the three-judge panel said Republicans must continue to use a map that has two majority-Black districts where Democrats hold significant advantages. "Ultimately, we cannot see our way clear to requiring Alabamians to cast their votes in the 2026 elections under a districting plan tainted by intentional race-based discrimination," the federal judges wrote. "We again cannot understand the 2023 Plan as anything other than intentionally discriminatory." More from Catherine Salgado at PJM:

It's still going on, even. We have the smallest federal employment in raw numbers since the 60s. The comparison between the administrative state and the judiciary isn't really strong. The administrative state could always have been fired. No executive would do it, though. The judiciary, though, is protected from termination except through Congress and impeachment (or statute eliminating districts, which is technically possible), and impeachment is a joke.

Got a text earlier from Cornyn's campaign.
It's just too bad that he kept voting against Texas so many times since Obama was elected. And that he kept Murkowski in Alaska after she got beaten in her primary all those years ago (yeah - we're the "Elephant" party for a reason, Johnny Boy - us old-timers have LOOOOOONG memories). Maybe it was a bid by the higher ups in the Senate GOPe to let him vote that way because his seat was supposedly "safe", but you would think that after the high-profile scalps that upstart Republican voters have claimed over the last couple of decades that they would have been keeping an eye out for him. I'm sure that if Paxton pulls this off that Cornyn will go scorched earth on us the next few months. Might even toss some $$$ Talerico's way, just to be petty. Screw him.

Posted by: far cry at May 26, 2026 02:44 PM (X+NGn) _______ Porsche is actually much more reasonable, in part because there are relatively limited options/configurations. For true exotics, you can pretty much choose the color you want for each swatch of color in the car, plus you have 10x more options for exotic materials like carbon fiber. Porsche at least has the option prices on its configurator. Ferrari, Lambo, Aston, Bentley, Rollie, etc do NOT. Posted by: Elric The Blade at May 26, 2026 02:47 PM (iFTx/) 54

something I don't think the market has worked out yet -- a lot of Ferrari's high end appeal is rarity and future value because it is rare.
But how desirable would a 20 year old EV ever be? The batteries would be dead and irreplaceable. And you can't just drive it once a year to shows because it would need new batteries every time.

Their stock price took a big hit the moment the Luce was revealed (spy photos suggested a much better looking car). Stock is down 32% in the last 12 months, at a time when the market is otherwise rocking like Dokken. Meanwhile, competitive cars from Lambo are going for well over list price, with resale value on used cars also above original list. Posted by: Elric The Blade at May 26, 2026 02:55 PM (iFTx/) 80

Posted by: FenelonSpoke It wasn't. Under the Voting Rights Act, three judge panels hear cases on voting redistricting.

Why did CA and VA have to put it to voters? Because both CA and VA established processes to make redistricting "non-partisan" and by a separate body...recently, where the original process was just to have things done by the legislatures.

I have a bunch of things that use rechargeable batteries, and they are all worthless after a few years. I now take them apart and you can replace the batteries, but it is never easy -- a keyboard, hair clipper, toothbrush,....
I would not mind seeing something that calls for all battery powered products sold to consumers have to be replaceable. Not just phones (EU is doing that,) and not just replaceable, but standardized -- how many form factors do they need? My toothbrush uses 1/2AAA (2x) LiNH and my project later will be to add another tube next to it to hold 2x AAA batteries since I can not find 1/2 AAA at decent price and non-chinese brand. But seriously, a $100 toothbrush should not need to be replaced in 3 years because the batteries died. same with cars. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at May 26, 2026 03:07 PM (8aPNd) 120

BTW one important thing about cultural marxism is that it reveals more about the people adhering to it then it describes the real world.
Specifically, cultural marxists believe the whole world is about oppressors and the oppressed and they want to BECOME the oppressors. This is why it works so well for them - they built an ideology which claims the only reason they aren't rich, powerful, and oppressing others is...oppression, and the answer is...use any method possible to steal from and oppress those oppressors.

In serious advice, since it's the 1st time and 1-on-1, take a little time to get to know the kid and their interests. First step to getting a kid to learn something is to get them to listen to you. Next step is to get them to care.
Now, since this is a paid center (and I'm assuming the parent is paying), you probably have a kid told to care...but just in case. And always have one fun thing to do or break stuff up with...just in case...fun Math scenario (like how big is 8 trillion people or what are the odds you can get a perfect bracket in March Madness)...

@93 ballistic-there's a lot of retards and schiesty dealerships. I had to search every dealership on the North American continent to purchase a used 20-22 Shelby GT 500 that was open to negotiating the price because I had cash on hand. You really can't get them to budge. I'm blown away by how much new vehicles are nowadays. I run with groups of people with Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, etc and they pay these insane prices.......then modify the damn car because kids in 70k Mustang GT's with superchargers smoke them. Not a good look when you're taking your hot new hoe out for dinner in your new Ferrari and some knucklehead kid walks your ass in a Mustang.

Understand that undermining the courts is key to subverting the country.
When you don’t have a justice system that’s fair, people start to ignore it. Trump is trying to adhere to the process, in order to save it. The enemy knows this and is trying on one level to run out the clock on his presidency. These rogue courts have done significant damage to trust in the justice system. A weak chief justice on SCOTUS has helped them by being largely indifferent to their actions. But overall, Trump and his allies have won a great deal of the cases with few exceptions. This was always going to be a war of attrition. Posted by: Marcus T at May 26, 2026 03:27 PM (zfkPG) 195

Well, we got some unexpectedly good news - apparently Mr. TiFW forgot to give our accountant the receipts from the pre-payments we made to the IRS last year, so we are getting a tidy little sum refunded to us.
I joked that it should just about pay for my recent NYC trip. He was not amused..... Posted by: Teresa in Fort Worth, Texas, AoSHQ's Plucky Wee One - Eat the Cheesecake, Buy the Yarn. at May 26, 2026 03:37 PM (SRRAx) Posted by: Dems for Fraud at May 26, 2026 03:37 PM (cWLG3) 235

The "war of attrition/stay within the system/hey we're winning some stuff" approach is understandable, but I fear does not take account of the underlying reality.
Which is that the "other side/Dems/'liberals'/progressives", despite their variations, essentially are now totalitarian bots without standards or a shred of the mindset that made a society more/less based on rule of law possible (a rarity in human history). Not to mention the more fundamental issue of the constitutional collapse in which the judiciary wields legislative and executive power (usurps) without consequence, which long long predates the current day. Congress has long since surrendered, current administration is appeasing when it comes to this stuff. From the very first lawless ridiculous order from the district in WA in the first weeks of the first term ("Muslim ban"). Repudiating in cases where a court is completely out of line, including by their own rules (many examples ongoing) *is* preserving, or rather attempting to restore, the constitutional system. But it requires weathering a few weeks of (typical) unhinged hysteria. Which the Legal Cult simply cannot stomach. Posted by: rhomboid at May 26, 2026 03:40 PM (U/Byj) 237
I went to a luau one night. I swear at least half the female performers doing the traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian dances were ... hot Filipinas

Two of these Hawaiian judges are Trump appointees (to Alabama district courts) from his first term. So thank you federalist society.
