Summary
The North Carolina Supreme Court, in a 5-1 Republican-led decision, blocked certification of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs as the winner of a state Supreme Court race.
Riggs leads Republican Jefferson Griffin by 734 votes after recounts, but Griffin claims 60,000 ballots were illegally cast and seeks to have them invalidated.
The court will now hear Griffin’s challenge, with briefs due by January 24.
Democrats criticized the move as partisan, while the lone Democratic justice dissented, arguing there is no basis to delay certification or disrupt the election process.
Yet here we stand in the mire, and nothing changes. The consequences of inaction will be real.
It’s been fun, I don’t give a shit about you or convincing you. We’ll make moves for team human in spite of folks like you who keep hoping things will improve.
Oh it’s war for team human now. I’d say that’s a new one but it isn’t. George Bush used that one in 2002.
Yep. Not war, more like excision.
Oh another one. You say you aren’t a war hawk but damned if that doesn’t sound exactly like some bangers from the past.
“It’s just regime change”
"“They’ll be home by Christmas!”
Yep. I’m not ashamed of advocating destruction of the destroyers. Physics doesn’t give a fuck, planet’s getting too hot.
You’re not going to solve the suffering of people under climate change by replacing it with the suffering of war.
I never said that, dummy.
I’m saying we gotta tear down these structures which reward destruction of our planet, oust the execs responsible for making these systems (McKinsey et al), and be prepared to counter armed police resistance as they are against making those changes.
Oh no I know you didn’t. You believe you can have all the violence with none of the suffering.
What the fuck are you talking about?
