  1. Was watching Democracy Docket, w smart guests. Two things:
    1) The #Callais decision is for minority representation what the #DredScott decision was for citizenship & due process (so #Congress passed the 14th, 15th #Amendments). The fix here is a slog.
    2) Marc Elias predicts GOP attacking white districts if represented by a minority. They'll claim that SCOTUS has backed them up, which is true.

  2. Two #constitutional #amendments Americans missed on:

    A maximum #wage amendment that no person should accumulate more than $1 million was proposed by representative Wesley Lloyd in 1933. In the wake of the Wall Street crash and the beginnings of the Great Depression many Americans believed that personal wealth should be limited to avoid such an issue from happening again.

    An amendment to limit investment income was proposed by Representative J. Buell Snyder in 1933.
