Are we supposed to believe SCOTUS read 107 pages — 26,000 words — conferred, voted and wrote a dissent in half an hour?

Only one of two things is possible: Either the acting AG lied or he didn’t know what he was talking about and made stuff up.

Alabama House speaker said he hopes SCOTUS “will overturn Amendment 14,” the one that made Black people citizens and guaranteed equal protection under law. It wasn’t just a slip. Today’s newsletter. 👉 link.al.com/public/45636598

@MrSimmonsSr @FordjwFord This is what nine people elected at large looks like in a state where more than one out of every four people is Black.

@FordjwFord @WarOnDumb Some of us still believe in the Dream that the government will no longer try to treat us differently based on the color of our skin. 🖕🏼

@FordjwFord @MrSimmonsSr Yes, the ol’ “quote what he meant, not what he said” routine. Also, there’s video you can watch of him “clarifying” what he meant, linked to in the piece dude didn’t read.

@MrSimmonsSr @WarOnDumb It’s a good thing these politicians have staff to clarify statements. So that when the politico says what he really thinks they can clarify it to what sounds more palatable.

The court’s subtext: Why are you asking US and why are you asking US now?

The court also notes that the state could have asked for a stay when it appealed and didn’t.

A three-judge panel has denied a request by Alabama for a stay, saying it lacks jurisdiction in the case which has been appealed to SCOTUS. “Quite simply, we do not have the authority to issue an order that upends Alabama’s status quo, especially in the middle of an election, while our injunction establishing that status quo is well under review in the nation’s highest court.”
