Update: Alabama has filed its replies in the redistricting stay requests at #SCOTUS, so the briefing is now completed. A decision could come at any time.

@chrisgeidner We will find out soon enough how compromised Kavanaugh is.
I love how you jumped right into the conspiracy theory without bothering to wait for the go-ahead.
The best part about zany conspiracy theories is that you can pull the trigger on them at any point and they are equally respectable and reasonable.
@volkris @chrisgeidner There has been quite a bit of reporting of late that one of the reasons Alabama was so confident about defying SCOTUS's ruling in June on Alabama's Congressional districts was that Kavanaugh might be open to reconsidering his vote in that case and to ditching Section 2 of the VRA.
My toot saying we will know in time whether this reporting is true is a far cry from a conspiracy theory.
@tobie1 @volkris I mean, it was his concurrence in the case in June. It's not really something secret. I wrote about it that day: https://www.lawdork.com/p/surprising-voting-rights-victory-at-scotus
The problem is, I think you got so caught up in telling a compelling and dramatic story of personalities that you lost sight of what the ruling *actually said.*
Yes, you may have written that, but when talking about what the Court said, it would be much better to have actually quoted from the Court, not this dramatization of your own composition that seems so far from the work of the court itself.
Self-citation isn't exactly bringing in an ally, after all :)
