Gerrymandering case could lead to laws invalidated, criminals freed, North Carolina GOP warns.

A lawyer for the civil rights organization said GOP legislators knew that courts determined their legislative districts cheated black voters and didn't represent the people. Despite that, Republicans pushed changes to the state constitution making virtually permanent limits on income tax rates and requirements to show identification when voting, NAACP attorney Kym Hunter said.

What are"the limits for acts of a General Assembly that has been found to be the product of widespread and illegal racial gerrymandering?" Judge Reuben Young asked Warf. Hunter later took up Young's question, arguing that the GOP argument is that"however gerrymandered a General Assembly is, they can do whatever they want, however much that might further entrench their power. That is precisely what they did here."

If the amendments are invalidated because they were proposed by an invalid legislature, couldn't other laws passed during the same period also be voided?, judges asked.

Gaslighting, gerrymandering and fear-mongering...the 3 principles of trump’s GOP.

What does the voters think about the GOP’s criminal behavior?

.....redraw the districts and stfu

Republicans really seem to be counting completely on their constituents being idiots. You'd have to be an idiot to believe changing congressional district boundary lines would have any impact on criminal justice in the past or laws established in the past.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! Gimme a break GOP 🙄

Is this a joke?

Ok

if the legislature acted illegally or were elected illegally, everything they did is illegal. They are literally the criminals.

Anarchy! Dogs and cats living together, end of the world!!!

Fear Mongering, typical of the GOP

Covered up any rapes today? MeToo

GOP fear-mongering as usual

Here come the democrat hogs to the trough..... Lapping it up....

And who's fault might that be? I'd blame the ones who decided to draw the illegal lines to begin with.

BS

realDonaldTrump used $400Million Ukraine aid to extort political dirt on JoeBiden from Ukraine; he used his personal attorney RudyGiuliani to hide the effort! Then locked up his conversations in top security computer system! If this is not the highest of high crimes, what is?

They should invalidate the GOP!

good.
