In November, we successfully obtained an index prepared by @UMich of the sealed #TantonPapers. The first glimpse of the papers I've fought to see for 5 years now.
Oral argument 1/12; if you're just getting here: here's why these papers are important:

Interesting tidbits out of the Vaughn index:
1. Finances of the Pioneer Fund, (the eugenics "research" funder who adopted much Nazi ideology and funded the Tanton Network in its formative years)
2. Publication ideas
3. State-specific documents (CA, AZ, MD, TX, FL, MI, others)

4. WITAN (the secret racist leaders meeting) notes
5. @IRLILaw meeting minutes (the legal arm of FAIR, to which @KrisKobach1787 served)
6. Extensive population studies (to use to push anti-immigrant policy)
These papers must see the light of day.

Where are we in the trial?
We're suggesting the Court rule to release the #TantonPapers. The index doesn't state anything the UMich hasn't tried to assert and lost.
Hope you'll tune in for oral argument, this Wednesday 1/12 at 10 AM EST:
