Justice Jackson taking on Gorsuch's "pure textualism" and arguing for a more holistic reading of Congress' handiwork—worth reading in full.

This is a victory for North Carolina voters — and an important development for future free and fair elections in this country.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening? In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control. Call it what it is.

This letter from Adeel Mangi (who was nominated to the Third Circuit) to President Biden is worth reading. "The unfortunate fact remains: we have a fundamentally broken process for choosing federal judges. This is no longer a system for evaluating fitness for judicial office."

We sounded the alarm on the profusion of “zombie lawsuits” filed in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Turns out they didn’t matter for the presidential election, but the R NC Supreme Court candidate is trying to bring one of the zombies back to life - and disenfranchise 60K voters along the way.

Proud to represent Michele White along with
