In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica examines a pivotal voting rights case before the Supreme Court concerning Louisiana's congressional district lines. The case touches on the conflict between the Voting Rights Act and the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Jessica reviews the legal arguments, reflects on past decisions like Shelby County, and explores the case's broader implications. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Voting Rights Act and Supreme Court Case: Jessica Levinson delves into a Supreme Court case concerning the Voting Rights Act, highlighting a challenge over Louisiana's congressional districting. The essential question is whether the state violated the Act by diluting voting power or violated the Fourteenth Amendment by using race excessively in district creation.Louisiana District Lines Controversy: After the census, Louisiana's district lines came under scrutiny for having only one majority minority district, leading to lawsuits. The state later redrew the map to include two majority minority districts, sparking a new suit from non-African American voters claiming the excessive use of race in drawing these lines.Fourteenth Amendment and Equal Protection Clause: The tension between complying with the Voting Rights Act and the constraints of the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause is a major theme. The conversation touches on recent affirmative action cases, emphasizing the court's perspective that race should not be the predominant factor.Follow Our Host and Guest: @LevinsonJessica

Subject Matter Jurisdiction. Subject matter jurisdiction refers to a court's authority to hear a case based on the nature of the dispute. It's a threshold issue that determines whether a court can adjudicate a particular matter. There are two primary forms of subject matter jurisdiction: federal jurisdiction and state jurisdiction. Federal and State Jurisdiction. Federal jurisdiction pertains to cases involving federal laws, treaties, or the US Constitution. Federal courts also hear cases where the United States government is a party. The authority of federal courts is derived from Article III of the Constitution and various federal statutes. State jurisdiction, on the other hand, is much broader. State courts typically handle cases involving state laws, including family law, real estate, probate, and most contract and tort cases. State courts can also hear cases involving federal law, provided they don't exclusively fall under federal jurisdiction. A key aspect of subject matter jurisdiction is that it cannot be waived or consented to by the parties. If a court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any judgment or order it issues is void. Federal Question Jurisdiction. Federal question jurisdiction exists when a plaintiff's claim arises under federal law. This concept is rooted in Article III, Section 2 of the US Constitution and is codified in 28 USC § 1331. A case can be brought in federal court if it involves the interpretation or application of a federal statute, a constitutional issue, or a federal treaty. The 'well-pleaded complaint' rule is central to federal question jurisdiction. This rule stipulates that the federal question must be present in the plaintiff's original complaint; it cannot be based solely on a potential defense or a counterclaim. Diversity Jurisdiction. Diversity jurisdiction, as outlined in 28 USC § 1332, gives federal courts the authority to hear cases where the parties are citizens of different states or a foreign country and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. This type of jurisdiction aims to provide a neutral forum for parties from different states or countries. For diversity purposes, a party's citizenship is determined by their domicile, not merely their residence. Corporations are considered citizens of both the state where they are incorporated and the state where they have their principal place of business. Supplemental Jurisdiction. Supplemental jurisdiction allows federal courts to hear additional claims that are related to those within their original jurisdiction, even if the related claims would not independently qualify for federal jurisdiction. Codified in 28 USC § 1367, this concept is grounded in judicial efficiency, allowing related claims to be heard in a single proceeding. Supplemental jurisdiction applies when the additional claims share a "common nucleus of operative fact" with the claims that invoked original federal jurisdiction. However, courts have discretion to reject supplemental jurisdiction if it would overshadow the original basis for jurisdiction or raise complex state law issues. Personal Jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction refers to a court's power over the parties involved in the litigation. Without personal jurisdiction, a court cannot bind a party to its decisions. Traditional Basis of Personal Jurisdiction. Historically, courts could establish personal jurisdiction over a defendant if they were physically present in the state, domiciled in the state, or had consented to the jurisdiction. These traditional bases ensured that defendants had a clear connection to the state where the court was located. Long-arm statutes enable courts to reach beyond their state's borders to exercise jurisdiction over out-of-state defendants. These statutes vary by state but generally allow courts to assert jurisdiction over non-residents who have certain types of contacts with the state, such as committing a tortious act within the state or doing business in the state. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

In a recent ruling, the U.S. Eleventh Circuit of Appeals mandated that the state of Alabama must redraw two congressional districts to create two Black-majority districts, emphasizing violations of the Voting Rights Act. The ruling comes after allegations that the state's previous congressional district plan was racially gerrymandered and infringed upon the rights of Black Alabamians, violating both the United States Constitution and Section Two of the Voting Rights Act. The districts in question were initially crafted by the Republican-controlled state legislature, sparking controversy over their compliance with the fundamental principles of the democratic process. Advocates argued that the design of these districts marginalized the voices and votes of Black Alabamians, a claim substantiated by the recent court ruling. "The 100 is committed to standing up for the ability of all Americans to fully and fairly participate in the democratic process," stated Milton Jones, the recently elected chair of the organization.  The ruling has garnered significant attention from civil rights organizations and activists, highlighting the ongoing struggle for fair and equitable representation for minority communities. The decision to redraw these congressional districts is seen as a step towards ensuring that the electoral process upholds the principles of fairness and inclusivity, particularly for African Americans in Alabama. Texas and South Carolina are just some of the states where recent battles continue over redistricting. Both states have Republican majority state legislatures. Learn more about your ad choices.

The 14th Amendment It has been used to justify everything from banning VCR's to sanctioning the murder of babies in this country.  How many of you actually know what the 14th Amendment states? The Northerners were plotting and scheming to permanently subjugate the South. Read the actual text and you will see the viciousness in it. The 14th Amendment was never ratified. PERIOD. OVERVIEW from Cornell Law School - The Fourteenth Amendment contains a number of important concepts, most famously state action, privileges & immunities, citizenship, due process, and equal protection—all of which are contained in Section One. However, the Fourteenth Amendment contains four other sections. Section Two deals with the apportionment of representatives to Congress. Section Three forbids anyone who participates in “insurrection or rebellion” against the United States from holding federal office. Section Four addresses federal debt and repudiates debts accrued by the Confederacy. Section Five expressly authorizes Congress to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment “by appropriate legislation.” The states ratified the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War, along with the other Reconstruction Amendments—the Thirteenth and Fifteenth. How did the 14th Amendment become the Miracle Amendment? AUDIO/VIDEO: Joe Biden on using the 14th Amendment - I have been considering the 14th Amendment, I am looking at months down the road to see if the courts would say about whether or not it works.

Mordechai's timings were extraordinary. He demanded that Esther risk her life and approach Achashverosh, even though Achasverosh was imminently due to summon her. He refused to delay a national taanis, and instead called for Klal Yisroel to fast from the first day of Pesach, forgoing the zechus and mitzvas aseh of achilas matzah. What was Mordechai's cheshbon?

On Thursday March 22nd, 2018 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present the second part of the Legenda of the O.T.A.'s Second Crata Repoa Degree, Neocoris. The Legenda is essentially the same as the degree script with a few secrets deleted. It is the story of the degree. This was the first O.T.A. degree back in the early 1970s and was moved up to second when we began to do all seven of the Crata Repoa system. Last week we covered the reception, testing, and the ordeals, in Section One. Tonight we move through the obligation and on to the knowledge lectures in Section Two. Our instructions in Solomon's magick are delivered in a biblical style like Mather's used in some of his G.D. lectures. So if you want to experience a magical initiation, tune in and we'll give you a word picture of the process.

Are these verses a string of pearls? A series of unrelated thoughts lumped together in Paul's letter to Timothy? Some have said that!These are not unrelated ideas. They follow the outline for Section Two hinted at in Paul's naming of three sins he was guilty of.In 1 Timothy 1:18-3:16 Paul systematically works his way through his three sins. The second was that of being a persecutor. He writes about potentially problematic persecutors in 2:1-7. His solution? Pray for peace and even more so pray for the salvation of potential and actual persecutors that they may be saved.What grace and love is evidenced by Paul. We can do the same. And we can pray as he directed in 2:1.Go Deeper! Order your copy our our book with the Text and Study Guides for all eight chapters! Get Book Three in The Eden Book Series on Amazon.
