Marius25's JournalShouldn't the DoJ be suing red states for Constitutional violations?
We're seeing red states go crazy with laws that blatantly violate the Constitution, especially the 1st Amendment. Drag show/pride parades banned and transgender kids kidnapped in Florida, Texas requiring schools to have Bible study and 10 commandments, etc.
Isn't the Executive branch supposed to go after states that violate the Constitution? I've seen no attempts to hold these red states accountable.
Feinstein absence blocks push for supreme court chief Thomas testimony
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/21/dianne-feinstein-supreme-court-clarence-thomas-testimonyAsked if he will subpoena John Roberts over allegations against Thomas, Senate judiciary chair says: ‘I don’t have a majority’
Texas is now a Christian theocracy with its own Sharia-style laws
https://www.texastribune.org/2023/04/20/texas-senate-passes-ten-commandments-bill/?rss=1Public schools would have to display Ten Commandments under bill passed by Texas Senate
The Senate also passed a bill that would set prayer and Bible reading times during the school day.
As a Jew, a couple things to keep in mind. The 10 Commandments they're requiring to be displayed are the KJV translation, which is not quite the same as the Hebrew version. You obviously don't see these idiots putting up the real 10 Commandments.
Also, one of the commandments forbids work on the Sabbath. All Christians violate that Commandment. Also it prohibits idolatry. All Trump supporters violate that commandment since they exalt Trump to divine status.

https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1648417549925662721While today's news about Fox isn't great, something to keep in mind
Fox has several lawsuits still pending.
Smartmatic, which is for $2.7 billion.
The former Fox producer is suing the company.
And the investors of Fox Corp are suing for damage to stockholders.
Smartmatic Lawyer issued a statement
Statement from Smartmatic lawyer Erik Connolly: “Dominion’s litigation exposed some of the misconduct and damage caused by Fox’s disinformation campaign. Smartmatic will expose the rest. Smartmatic remains committed to clearing its name, recouping the significant damage done to the company, and holding Fox accountable for undermining democracy.”
Susan Collins won't agree to replace Feinstein on Judiciary
https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1648080866436939778?s=46&t=TG9y0ECNwRVi0vEkp3E6MAWe may not get any more Judicial confirmations based on current situation
There have been no judicial confirmations since February 16th.
There can be no more confirmations unless Senator Feinstein is healthy enough to return to the Senate and vote.
She has indicated she may not be back for awhile since she wants her seat to be temporarily filled.
But Republicans are refusing to allow it.
Therefore, if Feinstein doesn't return, there will be no more Democratic judicial confirmations for likely years, which means we won't be able to undo the damage Trump and McConnell did.
I hope people here realize how detrimental it is to this country for people to keep refusing to retire and resign when they're younger and healthier.
