#FlockCameras : "A police officer can search 100,000 #cameras nationwide to see if a fugitive has passed any Flock cameras, or get an alert when they do. They can also search for identifying features like make, model, color or even unique dents and bumper stickers.
#Police can also use the cameras to surveil protestors and stalk ex-lovers—or strangers they find attractive.
The cameras have raised questions on #constitutionality and have led to wrongful arrests across the county."

— These laws were #unconstitutional, and they knew it when they #sponsored and #voted for it. They count on the lag time between a law being #passed, and the #resolution of a #court #challenge.
I would also support requiring a pre-clearing process kinda of like the #CBO #budgetscores, but for the #constitutionality of the proposed law, that would stop this. If the law is not certified in advance, it cannot ever enter the legislative process. This would apply to state and federal laws.

As for any challenge to the #constitutionality of the provision, the bill gave the DC #FederalCourts exclusive power to rule on any #constitutional challenge.
Citing that #law, lawyers for the #pipeline asked the #SupremeCourt to vacate the lower court order & direct dismissal of the litigation. They argued that under the new law, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals no longer has the power to hear the case. The federal gov weighed in as well, supporting the pipeline's #legal position.

#FederalistSociety were "at the intellectual heart" of National
Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, which challenged the #constitutionality of the #AffordableCareAct (ACA), with members of the group playing a "mostly behind-the-scenes part in #NFIB—and in many of the most significant #conservative #legal victories of the last 30 years."

You are so right. About their values.
This is not a group of people who can think about #PublicService in a meaningful way.
This is not a group of people who have allegiance to concepts like #constitutionality, #TruthTelling, #ProceduralJustice, or #DoingTheRightThing. They are not there to serve the country or the #BestInterests of *all* of its people.
I'm ashamed, as a US citizen, to acknowledge this; however, it does seem to be the case.

Some notes on #VictorRay’s #OnCriticalRaceTheory, cc:ing @sociology (18/...)
Let’s pause for a word from #ThurgoodMarshall on the #constitutionality of race-aware policies:
“During most of the past 200 years, the #Constitution, as interpreted by this #Court, did not prohibit the most ingenious and pervasive forms of discrimination against the Negro. Now, when a state acts to remedy the effects of that legacy of discrimination, I cannot believe that the same Constitution stands as a barrier”
