back before the court appointed special master, which could potentially throw some sand in the gears of the departments investigation. despite recent reporting that trump s legal team was perhaps looking to soften its tone in this case, the filing today by trump s lawyers is filled with more angry screeds against the department of justice. they accused the department of feigned concern about reported to pin some offense on trump. it is the latest in a series of aggressive and bellicose moves by trump, which he s employed for a very long time to move away from scandals and legal quandaries. and it s more evidence of the mindset with which he approaches both the powers of the presidency and the keeping of the nation s secrets. in a post on his social media website following the filing today, trump told his followers, i want my documents back. that s what he said. i want my documents back. because trump still believes that the classified government records seized from his home
but when the out-of-state corporations behind prop 27 look at california, they see nothing but suckers. they wrote prop 27 to give themselves 90% of the profits from online sports betting in california. other states get much more. why is prop 27 such a suckers deal for california? because the corporations didn t write it for us. they wrote it for themselves. after my car accident, they wrote it for themselves. i wondered what my case was worth. so i called the barnes firm. when that car hit my motorcycle, insurance wasn t fair. so i called the barnes firm. it was the best call i could ve made. atat t bararnefirmrm, our r inry a attneysys wk hahard i could ve made. atat t bararnefirmrm, to get you the best result possible. call us now and find out what your case could be worth. you u mit bebe sprisised do you remember about a month the barnes firm injury attorneys call one eight hundred, eight million
voting rights act sustain, in your mind? well, first, i think the easiest path for the court to follow is the one that it charted for itself for many decades, and that is to affirm the lower court s decision in this case. this is a cookie cutter textbook, section two violation. you have black voters, as you described, who comprise 27% of the states population and only are able to elect a candidate of their choice in one out of seven districts. so what the court should do is follow the lower courts, the three judge panel that said, alabama needs to go back, read redo its maps and make sure that black voters have more than one district in which they have an opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. now the court seemed to question a few different ways in which to go about it. there were lots of conversations about the role of race in determining whether
