Summary

The North Carolina Supreme Court, in a 5-1 Republican-led decision, blocked certification of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs as the winner of a state Supreme Court race.

Riggs leads Republican Jefferson Griffin by 734 votes after recounts, but Griffin claims 60,000 ballots were illegally cast and seeks to have them invalidated.

The court will now hear Griffin’s challenge, with briefs due by January 24.

Democrats criticized the move as partisan, while the lone Democratic justice dissented, arguing there is no basis to delay certification or disrupt the election process.

    Oh another one. You say you aren’t a war hawk but damned if that doesn’t sound exactly like some bangers from the past.

      Yep. I’m not ashamed of advocating destruction of the destroyers. Physics doesn’t give a fuck, planet’s getting too hot.

        You’re not going to solve the suffering of people under climate change by replacing it with the suffering of war.

          I never said that, dummy.

          I’m saying we gotta tear down these structures which reward destruction of our planet, oust the execs responsible for making these systems (McKinsey et al), and be prepared to counter armed police resistance as they are against making those changes.

            Oh no I know you didn’t. You believe you can have all the violence with none of the suffering.

                  No longer. Your illogical responses now go to the machine’s void.

                  Enjoy.
