Am I misreading this, or is Scott Walker complaining that Democrats draw "unfair" maps because they have more supporters than Republicans do and so they can redistrict to capture seats reflecting their popularity? npr.org/2019/07/03/737…
Someone suggested to me that we should see Walker's actual quote. Possible to get that @MilesParks @nprpolitics ?
Thanks to @DomenicoNPR! Here is the full Scott Walker quote for people to judge in context:

Leonard Leo has managed to create a veneer of legal neutrality with the Federalist Society, but behind the scenes (and with lots of undisclosed money), he's a Republican political operative. See this extensive @washingtonpost investigation: washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
And remember it was Leo ally Ed Whelan that pushed the other attacker Zillowgate nonsense about Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford, and though Whelan apologized, this was the Republican party line for how they could believe Dr. Ford was "mistaken" and vote for Kavanaugh.
And the WaPo report shows that Leo is behind the fundraising the for Judicial Crisis Network, which brings huge, undisclosed money to support Republican Supreme Court and appeals Justices and attacks Democrats. It's partisanship pure and simple.

#ELB: Gaming Out the Census Citizenship Question Endgame: What Comes Next, and How Will Things End? electionlawblog.org/?p=106084
From this @Arianedevogue @cnn report, it sounds like DOJ will tell Judge Hazel that they are still thinking of what reason they might have for including the citizenship question on the census, but not say what that reason IS. /1
If DOJ responds this way in census case, it will trigger an evidentiary hearing in Maryland on whether Administration acted (and continues to act) with racially discriminatory intent in seeking to add citizenship question. /2

I am not sure DOJ misled. At least one DOJ lawyer at yesterday’s hearing sounded shocked the President had demanded rethinking census question in a tweet. But NOW DOJ credibility will be on the line, and I have no faith in AG Barr to do the right thing.
The entire Trump issuing executive order to put citizenship question on census (per @axios) is bizarre. #SCOTUS did not question executive branch power to do this. But it has to give a nonpretextual reason complying with administrative law. That should come from Wilbur Ross.
That said, I wrote @Slate on day of #SCOTUS decision that I thought CJ Roberts left the door open for census question do-over and the issue could be back before Court in summer. slate.com/news-and-polit…

According to Chuck Todd, host of @MTPDaily, this tweet is a “tell” that Donald Trump is panicked about the effort from 18 Republican Attorneys General to challenge the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in court▶️seeking to end protections for those with pre-existing conditions. #LieGate
⚡️It’s certainly not a good look for Republicans less than 3 weeks from the November Election.

▶️Neither is talking about separating more children from their parents and putting them in cages
▶️Neither is talking about stripping Social Security & Medicare programs
▶️Neither is protecting the murderers of a respected journalist, then using money as the reason and inflating the numbers while you’re doing it

🔗Link to lawsuit against the ACA:
