  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's next is the Supreme Court is going to get another shot at this...

The SC ruling was taken to the federal District Court for Northern Alabama to undo the injunction on the Alabama redistricting and well...


To quote the 3 judge panel
“Ultimately, we cannot see our way clear to requiring Alabamians to cast their votes in the 2026 elections under a districting plan tainted by intentional race-based discrimination,”

Full ruling:


Two of the judges were appointed by Donald Trump (45).
Perhaps this ruling will be upheld by SCOTUS, perhaps not.

If SCOTUS upholds this decision, Republicans will be careful to more clearly redistrict based on reducing the power of the part in the minority.

I think that Democrats will win the House in 2026. Much, much more importantly, the 2028 and 2020 elections will be based on more and more partisan districts.
