#SCOTUS on Wednesday allowed #California to use a new voter-approved congressional map that is favorable to #Democrats in this year’s #elections, rejecting a last-ditch plea from state #Republicans & the #Trump admin.
The justices had previously allowed #Texas’ Republican-friendly map to be used in 2026, despite a lower court ruling that it likely #discriminates on the basis of #race.

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a bid by California Republicans to block a new congressional map. This allows the state to move forward with the new map that could potentially allow Democrats to flip five seats. Here's more from @abc.

That is where #state lawmakers come in, Professor Amar said.
“Sometimes the #federal government will misbehave,” he said, “& you can’t count on #Congress always to rein the federal government in.”
His article drew on 2 principles often associated with #conservatives: #federalism & #originalism.

Some #states — including #California, #Maine, #Massachusetts & #NewJersey — have enacted laws along the lines that Prof Amar proposed, though they are largely untested, & #Illinois recently adopted one tailored to address the conduct of #ICE agents.

The IL #law says that lawsuits may be filed “against any person who, while conducting #civil #immigration enforcement, knowingly engages in conduct that violates the Illinois Constitution or the #UnitedStates #Constitution.”

Hmmm. What are some of your favorite sources of used bookstores in the Southbay?
I know of library sales (Friends of Palo Alto Library is awesome) but I’m wondering about book stores that have a section. Think like Mo’s in Berkeley.
