  It’s interesting to see and hear all of these Republican  bigwigs bemoan “legislating from the bench”:     Thom Tillis and Richard Burr have voted for MANY of these judges who have overturned votes of North Carolinians and their state legislators.   The state…

I am hearing from sources inside and outside the legislative building in Raleigh that the GOP super-majority will attempt to use its last days in power to ram through an expansion of the state Supreme Court’s membership.  Word is they will try to add TWO…

What’s left — beyond local races — are the legislative, congressional, judicial, and amendment decisions.  Fasten your seatbelts as we hit you with our two cents: NC Supreme Court.  A victory in this race for Anita Earls (D) in this race would make the wildest…

If you thought the driveby media coverage of HB2 ran from the sublime to the ridiculous, get a load of what this same crowd is doing on the next “outrage” on the list.  Break out your tissues and brace yourself for THIS driveby sob story:…

We told you earlier about The Round Rev’s lawsuit in federal court over efforts in some North Carolina counties to clean up their voter lists.  Well, it’s in court, in front of an Obama-appointed (and black) judge, who is not happy with the counties:  North…
