@JohnMarionjr That was a wonderful venue -- accessible by public transportation, and for those of us who drove, free parking across the street at the high school. Not to mention an abundance of seating that allowed for social distancing even with a large group.

@JohnMarionjr Let's keep in mind that we don't need a law to mandate that we do something -- sometimes we are simply in the position to do so (especially when no legislature says that we can't!). RI has the opportunity NOW to be on the right side of prison gerrymandering history.

A number of people talking about prison gerrymandering. They’re right, it’s not too late to solve the problem. It just takes the will of the commission to make it happen.

"Shadow-docket cases can let the court act quickly and also shield individual justices from criticism: [...] no signed opinion for legal scholars to pick apart, and no single justice is personally associated with the virtual end of legal abortion in Texas" nyti.ms/3tf6rTh
