The Supreme Court has blocked a lower court order that would’ve forced Alabama to draw a new congressional map with two districts likely to elect Black House members.

The high court’s decision Monday to leave the Republican-controlled state legislature’s redistricting plan in place for the 2022 elections split the justices, 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the court’s liberals in opposing the ruling. The congressional redistricting plan is likely to produce a 6-1 Republican advantage in the state delegation, the same as it is now.

OHHHH and Happy Black History Y'all!!! SMH

Driving the news: "The issue is whether or not the RNC should be singling out members of our party who may have different views from the majority. That's not the job of the RNC," McConnell said in response to the committee's censure of Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

In censure of Cheney and Kinzinger, GOP frames Jan. 6 riot as 'legitimate political discourse'

Legitimate Political Discourse..........

This is the United States. What took place was anything but Legitimate Political Discourse.
People Died!
Martial Law was declared.
20,000+ National Gurd ended up deployed o the streets of our Captial.
For months.
It was a riot & attempt to subvert the outcome of an lkection & the will of the people.

It was the most dispicable display I've probably ever seen in my country & the RNC tries to trivialize it by calling it Legitimate Political Discourse???

I guess by their determintion of what constitutes Legitimate Policitcal Discourse the same could be said about the Chinese Governemen's use of the military in Tenimun Square in 1989,
:rolleyes:

Yep Ashley Babbitt was murdered by a racist capital security officer. Kudos to those that censure RINO’s. It’s about time they get the boot back to their own party.
 
Sarah Lovenheim, an assistant secretary for public affairs for HHS, denied the report in a response to Senator Marco Rubio highlighting the claim.

“Blatant misinformation. The Harm Reduction grant is designed to help folks struggling with substance use stay healthy and safe, prevent overdose death. The grants must stick to federal, state, local laws or regs,” she said.
 

Officer who shot Ashli Babbitt during Capitol riot breaks silence: 'I saved countless lives'​

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Lt. Michael Byrd said he opened fire only as a “last resort” after the rioters failed to comply with his commands.

In the chaotic minutes before he shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, Lt. Michael Byrd focused his attention on the glass doors leading into the lobby of the House of Representatives chamber.

About 60 to 80 House members and staffers were holed up inside, and it was Byrd’s job to protect them.


As rioters rampaged through the Capitol, Byrd and a few other officers of the U.S. Capitol Police set up a wall of furniture outside the doors.

“Once we barricaded the doors, we were essentially trapped where we were,” Byrd said in an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt, speaking publicly for the first time since the riot. “There was no way to retreat. No other way to get out.

“If they get through that door, they’re into the House chamber and upon the members of Congress,” added Byrd, who gave NBC News permission to use his name after authorities had declined to release it.

Byrd’s connection to what was going on outside and inside the building was his police radio. For several minutes, it crackled with a cascade of alarming messages.

There were shouts of officers down. Screams from his colleagues under attack by rioters with chemical agents. A report that an officer’s fingertips were blown off.

Soon a horde of demonstrators arrived. Byrd, a 28-year veteran of the Capitol Police, took a defensive posture with his gun drawn as rioters smashed the glass doors.

He said he yelled repeatedly for them to get back. But the mob kept pressing forward, and then a lone rioter tried to climb through one of the doors.

What happened next was captured on video: Byrd fired one shot, striking Babbitt in the shoulder.

Babbitt, 35, an Air Force veteran and ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, fell to the ground; she died from her injuries later.

Her death became a rallying cry for the far right, which described Babbitt as a martyr. Trump himself declared that she had been murdered and suggested, falsely, that the officer who shot her worked for a high-ranking Democrat.

For Byrd, who is Black, the incident turned his life upside down. He has been in hiding for months after he received a flood of death threats and racist attacks that started when his name leaked onto right-wing websites.

But in his interview with Holt, Byrd said he has no doubt that he made the right decision in light of the circumstances.

“I know that day I saved countless lives,” Byrd said. “I know members of Congress, as well as my fellow officers and staff, were in jeopardy and in serious danger. And that’s my job.”



“It was literally broadcast over the air,” Byrd said. “I said, ‘OK, this is getting serious.’”

Byrd said he had no idea whether the person he shot was carrying a weapon. It was only later that night that he found out that the rioter was a woman who was unarmed.

Asked why he pulled the trigger, Byrd said it was a “last resort.”

“I tried to wait as long as I could,” he told Holt. “I hoped and prayed no one tried to enter through those doors. But their failure to comply required me to take the appropriate action to save the lives of members of Congress and myself and my fellow officers.”

Byrd has been cleared of wrongdoing by the Justice Department and the Capitol Police. In announcing its decision not to charge him, the Justice Department said in April that investigators had examined video, physical evidence from the scene, autopsy results and statements from the officer involved, as well as other officers and witnesses.

“The investigation revealed no evidence to establish that, at the time the officer fired a single shot at Ms. Babbitt, the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber,” federal prosecutors said in a statement.

Just remember Autonomous Zone. Your clowns did zero while people were murdered and raped within while a bunch of so called mostly peaceful protesters thought they could make their own what, Nation within ours. So when do you think people are going to push back? Just how much BS will it take before you wake up?
