November 21, 2023 4:07 PM Patrick blasts the Texas House, Speaker Phelan specifically, for the overwhelming bipartisan vote to strip vouchers from HB1 “Speaker Dade Phelan didn’t help either. Phelan abstained from voting on school choice. Talk about a lack of leadership. It's hard to pass school choice when the Speaker is too cowardly to vote for it himself." The full statement

November 20, 2023 4:00 PM Possibly setting up a Supreme Court battle, a federal appeals court strikes down key tool used to enforce Voting Rights Act
The latest
via CNN: A federal appeals court on
Monday ruled against a key tool used to enforce the Voting Rights Act –
possibly setting up another Supreme Court showdown over one of the nation’s
landmark civil rights laws. In a ruling that springs
from an Arkansas redistricting case, the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
that private entities cannot bring lawsuits under a provision of the law, known
as Section 2. In a 2-1 decision, the
judges said the “text and structure” of the voting rights statute shows that
Congress did not give private plaintiffs the authority to sue. The appellate
panel affirmed a 2022 ruling by a Trump-appointed federal judge in Arkansas that
held only the US Justice Department can bring Section 2 lawsuits. |
