        To be fair, you whatever'd him before that. -- nm - Inigo Jun 26, 11:25 4
        
        True. I sensed a disingenuousness when I did that. I still do. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 11:29 3
        
        If I'm coming across as disingenuous, then I need to soften my approach. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 26, 11:37 2
        
        I admit this is a touchy subject for me. I have relatives who were fire-hosed in the streets fighting for voting rights and protection under - Diva Jun 26, 11:40 1

  - Well, when you basically render it non-functioning, it's an apt word. - Will Hunting Jun 26, 11:08 25
    - Due to the incompetence of Congress? - Strongbad Jun 26, 11:11 24

        Correct me if I'm wrong - Strongbad Jun 26, 11:20 17
        
        They could --- they won't. The Court killed it knowing that the US Govt is non-functioning. - Will Hunting Jun 26, 11:26

        I want to understand - Strongbad Jun 26, 11:30 10
        
        Without the formula, it's non-functioning. Congress is non-functioning. - Will Hunting Jun 26, 11:32 6
        
        clear and succinct. and so upsetting. at least to me. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 11:37
        
        Maybe it's just word semantics? - Strongbad Jun 26, 11:35 2
        
        you can think of it in terms of a "gut renovation" - znufrii Jun 26, 11:39
        
        gutted means something's parts have been removed/destroyed/made useless. there's no there there. - b. Jun 26, 11:39

        one question I have which might be better suited to tomorrow's discussion is how much of the VRA hinges on the preclearance function? - znufrii Jun 26, 11:42 1
        
        (I think I saw this question raised by someone else as well yesterday, but don't recall seeing an answer, apologies if I'm treading old ground) -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 11:43
        
        (1) that assumes a conclusion that the formula is in fact broken, and (2) even assuming that it is, that's a call for the legislature to make -- nm - charlie Jun 26, 11:24
        
        They could fix it but they won't. -- nm - Krusty Jun 26, 11:21
      - I love pinball as much as the next guy, but have you capitulated on 'gutted' or are you just changing arguments? -- nm - ty97 Jun 26, 11:13 4
        
        They dismissed a formula based on data 50 years ago. - Strongbad Jun 26, 11:18 3
        
        so they substituted their judgment for the legislature's? -- nm - charlie Jun 26, 11:21 2
        
        Or, they did their job? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 26, 11:23 1
