OA312: Gerrymandering in North Carolina

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>This week's episode breaks down the 357-page state court gerrymandering decision in North Carolina striking down that state's legislative districts. We explain in depth exactly what happened -- and exactly why cases like there are the future for political gerrymandering claims in light of the Supreme Court's decision in <em>Rucho v. Common Cause</em>.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We begin, however, with a couple of Andrew Was Wrong segments, including a sad update on Gavin Grimm as well as feedback from the entire state of Idaho!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Then, it's time for a deep dive into the recent ruling in North Carolina, which includes an analysis of both the facts -- featuring "Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites" Dr. Evil stand-in Thomas Hofeller -- and the law. If political gerrymandering is now perfectly okay by the U.S. Supreme Court, what can we do? Listen and find out!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>After that, it's time for a brief Yodel Mountain update regarding Don McGahn, as well as a Jeffrey Epstein update.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>And then it's time for #T3BE on the formation of contract: when, exactly, does a contract to buy a truck get made?
