North Carolina Supreme Court May Invalidate Constitutional Amendment Proposed by Gerrymandered LegislatureToday's LinksArticles:Charlotte News & Observer - NC's highest court rules on gerrymandered legislature's power, but the case isn't overSouthern Environmental Law Center - North Carolina Supreme Court rules that racially gerrymandered legislature does not have unlimited authority to change NC's Constitution Ballotpedia - Voter ID in North CarolinaGroups Taking Action:North Carolina NAACP,  Southern Environmental Law Center, Forward JusticeYou're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.Here's a fascinating case from North Carolina that you'll hear more about in the mainstream press in the next few days.    The North Carolina Supreme Court has conditionally ruled that because the state's legislature was elected with gerrymandered voting maps, state constitutional amendments enacted in 2018 may be invalid.The case is being called “groundbreaking” and could have huge implications, but it's not yet settled.   Ballotpedia & the Charlotte News & Observer report that in 2018, voters passed a constitutional amendment to require photo ID to vote.  Shortly after, the legislature passed SB 824 to codify it. The governor vetoed it, which the legislature then overrode, precipitating the lawsuits.Voting rights advocates argued that 28 districts were knowingly racially gerrymandered, and that two-thirds of the districts needed to be redrawn to be in compliance with the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution.  Under that argument, the legislature therefore did not have the legal authority to propose the amendment in the first place.   The state supreme court agreed.  The state high court did not overturn the amendment, however.  It returned the case to the lower court with guidance and questions, and asked for  a more rigorous opinion that the state's high court could further consider.  North Carolina NAACP's Deborah Maxwell, said of the ruling, “Rigging elections by trampling on the rights of Black voters has consequences.”See links to articles and groups taking action at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org     For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl.

Irving Joyner is a Professor of Law at North Carolina Central University School of Law and Legal Counsel to the North Carolina NAACP. We talk about his ongoing work to protect the voting rights of African Americans in North Carolina, gerrymandering, the overturned election in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, and compare and contract California and North Carolina voting laws.

Jim talks to Rev. William Barber, the former North Carolina NAACP president whose impassioned speech at the 2016 DNC called for a movement of resistance against creeping extremism. They share insights on Trump’s election, systemic racism in policy, and why standing down is not an option.

Trump’s not on the ballot this year, but that’s not stopping Democratic women from running against him in races across the country. John Nichols reports on recent Democratic victories where female candidates in special elections in state races flipped formerly Republican seats—they show how to do it in the mid-term elections in November. Also: Fortress America is crumbling—the rise of China started long before Trump, but he’s alienated allies and abandoned alliances in a way that may now make the process irreversible. Alfred McCoy explains. And the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber talks about white nationalism, patriotism, and Donald Trump—he’s the architect of the Forward Together Moral Monday Movement, president of the North Carolina NAACP and pastor of the Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro, North Carolina.

This week's episode covers the recently dismissed case of North Carolina NAACP v. McCrory, v. Harris, v. Whatever Republicans Want to Stand Up for Racist Gerrymandering, which includes how influential the case would have been on the more wide-spread problem of non-racist gerrymandering, and what we can take away from Roberts' short opinion disavowing any value from the dismissal.  The topical law above starts at (08:29), but Brett and Nazim also talk about how you can get arrested for laughing at Jeff Sessions starting at (0:57).

In Episode 67 of the “High Regard Show,” “Uninspired,” we talk to actor/writer/comedian Becky Yamamoto about season two of her acclaimed web series, "Uninspired," which premieres on Friday, Jan. 13. Becky tells us what it was like filming the first season, what the future holds for the series and what she would be doing if she wasn't a comedian. Funny how her and Tom have the same dream — could there be a partnership in their future? There was also a long-winded story about inappropriate holiday party behavior and a behind-the-scenes look at Nikki's technology struggles, and her struggle is real, folks! In “Roly Poly Roarty,” Tom discusses how his three-months post-op doctors visit went. Spoiler alert: It was way better than expected. We also talk about what's keeping the extra skin tight and the not-so-great customer service of the 5K runners app for iPhone and the Apple Watch. Boy, you guys let him down! Also, we want to give a shoutout to the January installment of #PussyGrabsBack founder Amanda Duarte's "Dead Darlings" salon, which takes place on Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 8 p.m. at Judson Memorial Church at 65 Washington Square South in the Village. This month's theme is, fittingly, "Freedom," and Dylan Marron, Erin Gloria Ryan, Rick Herron and Molly Pope will highlight a piece of their work that died on the cutting room floor.
