Texans’ Low Voter Turnout and the Challenges of Gerrymandering and Voter Suppression

So when the supreme court rules, women’s wombs are jurisdiction of the federal government. You all clap and cheer along? But when they rule, the federal government has jurisdiction over a national border. You all boo and threaten to secede? It’s almost as if you don’t care about “law and order.”

These are the thoughts that have been on my mind lately as I observe the conflicting reactions when it comes to different Supreme Court rulings. On one hand, we see the celebration and support when the court upholds laws that restrict a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body.… Continue reading

Just the GOP’s Attempt to Kill Democracy: Legislative Power Play

Just the GOP trying to legislate the death of Democracy

As I reflect on the current state of our nation’s political landscape, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of concern and frustration. It seems that the Republican Party, or GOP, is hell-bent on dismantling the very foundation of our democracy. From attempts to overturn election results to proposing laws that would undermine the power of the people, it’s clear that their actions are a dangerous threat to the principles we hold dear.

One of the most alarming incidents that comes to mind is the involvement of individuals who proudly identify as J6ers.… Continue reading

Greg Abbott vows “this is not over” after Supreme Court border loss

Greg Abbott vows “this is not over” after Supreme Court border loss. As I read the news about Governor Abbott’s response to the Supreme Court’s ruling on the border, a flood of thoughts and emotions overwhelmed me. It is disheartening to see how politicians like Abbott prioritize their own agenda and political aspirations over the well-being of the people they are meant to serve.

First and foremost, it is evident that Abbott’s defiant stance is nothing more than a political stunt. It feels reminiscent of the tactics employed by Ron DeSantis, another governor who seems more interested in promoting his own image than addressing the real issues at hand.… Continue reading

‘Oath-breaking insurrectionist’ Trump is ineligible for office, Colorado voters tell the Supreme Court

‘Oath-breaking insurrectionist’ Trump is ineligible for office, Colorado voters tell the Supreme Court

It’s a headline that many of us thought we would never see, but it seems that there may finally be some justice on the horizon. Colorado voters have taken a stand and told the Supreme Court that former President Donald Trump is ineligible for office due to his involvement in the insurrection that took place on January 6, 2021.

When I first heard the news, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Finally, someone is holding Trump accountable for his actions. The events of January 6 were a dark day in American history, and it is clear that Trump played a significant role in inciting the violence that unfolded at the Capitol.… Continue reading

The Supreme Court Says No, Greg Abbott Cannot Just Do Whatever He Wants to Keep People Out of Texas

The Supreme Court’s recent ruling against Greg Abbott’s attempt to restrict entry into Texas is a crucial step in upholding the principles of democracy and justice. It serves as a powerful reminder that no single individual, regardless of their position, should have unchecked authority to make unilateral decisions that affect the lives and well-being of citizens.

Abbott’s obsession with playing border patrol has come at a great cost. Over 26,000 Texas women have been forced to endure unwanted pregnancies due to his restrictive abortion ban. It is disheartening to witness a leader prioritize personal political gain over the health and autonomy of the people they are supposed to serve.… Continue reading

Greg Abbott declares Texas Law above United States Law, refuses to comply with Supreme Court decision

Greg Abbott declares Texas Law above United States Law, refuses to comply with Supreme Court decision

As an avid follower of current events and a concerned Texan, I find it deeply troubling that our governor, Greg Abbott, has made the audacious declaration that Texas law stands above United States law. This bold move not only challenges the principles of our federal system but also undermines the authority and integrity of the Supreme Court, which is supposed to be the final arbiter of legal disputes in our country.

It seems that in recent years, being a Republican has unfortunately become synonymous with thinking one is above the law.… Continue reading

Supreme Court allows Biden administration to remove razor wire on US-Mexico border in 5-4 vote

Title: The Supreme Court’s Split Decision on Removing Razor Wire: A Reflection on Constitutional Divisions and Border Control

Introduction:

In a recent headline that caught my attention, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote to allow the Biden administration to remove razor wire placed on the US-Mexico border. The potential implications of this decision, along with the differing opinions among the justices, have raised concerns about the division of power, border control, and the principles underlying the Constitution. As I reflect on these themes and sentiments, I find myself grappling with the implications of this split decision and the future of our nation’s immigration policies.… Continue reading

Supreme Court’s Conservatives Poised To Take Down Decades-Old Precedent

Supreme Court’s Conservatives Poised To Take Down Decades-Old Precedent

As I sit here and absorb the comments and sentiments surrounding the headline, “Supreme Court’s Conservatives Poised To Take Down Decades-Old Precedent,” I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and sadness. It seems that once again, our country is on the brink of taking a step back in terms of progress and protecting the rights and well-being of its citizens.

The concerns raised by those who oppose the conservative push to dismantle these longstanding precedents are certainly valid. The potential consequences of such a decision are far-reaching and alarming. We are talking about the potential loss of essential protections for our environment, our health, and our safety.… Continue reading

The Supreme Court Sounds Eager to Break the Government for Good

As I sit here, reflecting on the headline “The Supreme Court Sounds Eager to Break the Government for Good,” a mixture of frustration and concern fills my mind. The article touches on a significant issue: the growing power of an unelected, conservative-dominated Supreme Court and its potential implications for our democratic system.

One key point raised in the comments is the potential shift in regulatory power. The Court’s recent major questions doctrine, which allows them to invalidate policies enacted by a Democratic president or Congress, is worrisome. It essentially gives untrained judges the authority to make decisions in regulatory fields where they lack expertise.… Continue reading

Newsmax Airs Alarming Discussion of Civil War With Federal Government

Newsmax Airs Alarming Discussion of Civil War With Federal Government

As I sat down to write this article, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disbelief. How did we reach a point where the possibility of a civil war with the federal government is being discussed on a major news network? The recent conversation between Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and Newsmax host Carl Higbie about a potential conflict between Texas and the Biden administration is deeply troubling.

The discussion began with Higbie suggesting that there are rumblings of President Biden federalizing the National Guard and taking power away from Texas Governor Greg Abbott.… Continue reading
