"State courts retain the authority to apply state constitutional restraints when legislatures act on the power conferred on them by the Elections Clause...In interpreting state law in this area, state courts may not so exceed the bounds of ordinary judicial review as to unconstitutionally intrude upon the role specifically reserved to state legislatures," --Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion in a 6-3 SCOTUS ruling that North Carolina's Supreme Court was right in concluding that a district map constituted a partisan gerrymander under the state Constitution; 6.27.23

Trump’s violent talk shows signs of taking over Congress
“It’s not the route that I’d like to see any of us go,” said Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). “I understand the reason why there was anger.”
But he said “both individuals should have had a different approach to resolving it.” Rounds, who endorsed Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) now-defunct presidential campaign because he liked its positive message, said “you’re seeing folks on both sides of the political spectrum being less respectful of other people.”

Alan Rudnick Files
It is embarrassing to watch a politician try so hard to make himself look like a conservative Evangelical Christian. It is troubling to see Christianity on display in such parody. It is saddening to watch Christianity be used as a political football for politicos and prognosticators to diagram and dissect. It is disheartening to watch Christianity be used as stepping stone to the presidency.
