So the 3 are:

Racist Voter ID targeting blacks

Republican Gerrymandering (Court says legislature per NC Constitution has the power) which keeps blacks from proper representation.

Criminals get right to vote back only after completing all requirements which targets blacks.

Basically the author is saying it doesn't matter what the Constitution or law state as it is invalidated by any racial allegation.

As I read that opening slur . . . I kept waiting fort the reason every reasonable American attribute had been demolished and then, finally . . . the state Supreme Court went from Dem dominance to Rep dominance.

AHA !

Those dastardly black robes were the evil bastids !(intentional spelling)


I'll just bet chocolate milk is no longer legal in North Carolina

She must be unhappy that they might elect too many Mark Robinson types.

Law School Professor who doesn’t know the law. Typical college ‘professor’ that indoctrinates rather than teach.

Slate... Long on hyperbole and an almost complete lack of anything resembling a fact...

They created the most bald-faced and unrepentant political gerrymanders seen in modern America.

The author seems to forget the 3rd District(Deomcrat) in Maryland. It mangles the central part of the state as it snakes its way northeast from Annapolis, then west, again eastward, and one more time northwest(ish) until it's close to the top of the state — passing in and out (and sometimes back in again) of four counties and Baltimore City. A federal judge likened it to a "broken-winged pterodactyl lying prostrate across the state" and also likened to "blood spatter at a crime scene."

Exactly correct. In the mind of present day Progressives, allegations of racism are the magic ticket to obtain everything they desire.

A note to GENE NICHOL:

When you get slapped, you’ll take it and like it. That boot is now going to be on YOUR face.

I’m not sure there’s a mug large enough to contain the amount of yummy liberal tears in that rant.

The author fails to acknowledge that NC Dems set the gerrymandering benchmarks with NC 12:

Why would she discuss Maryland in an article about North Carolina? That doesn’t make sense.

“Democracy” is the tyranny that MUST be undone in order to save our Republic.

Because of this line.. "among the largest, most pervasive racial gerrymanders ever presented to a federal court"

With that line she isn't limiting her opinion to just NC. If she had said the most pervasive racial gerrymanders in the state, then she would be 'excused"
