Damn, we cannot watch Supremes debate our gerrymandering today

The court said it will not provide live audio of the highly anticipated argument, despite a request from several members of Congress to Chief Justice John Roberts. AP story.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican who has also appeared in a few movies, is here today, seated in the second row of the public gallery. He has become active in the effort to eliminate political gerrymandering, employing several of his popular catchphrases.

He has a Crowdpac website called Terminate Gerrymandering, and he will repeat several times today before the media and a crowd outside the court, “It’s time to say ‘hasta la vista’ to gerrymandering.”


First laugh I recall from SCOTUSblog.

A fucking running blog? Oh, that will be just fucking fine! Democracy dies in the dark and it is on its deathbed at SCOTUS a long time ago and now the darkness will descend on Congress just as it has over the WH.
