Von Miller On His First Bills Training Camp: “The Energy Is So Great” | Buffalo Bills

A Democratic voting rights group was "sounding the alarm" Wednesday, warning of a "nightmare scenario" wherein the U.S. Supreme Court could "clear the path for a one-party system" and give Republicans control of Congress.

The high court is slated to rehear Louisiana v. Callais on Oct. 15, and in a new Politico report, Fair Fight Action and Black Voters Matter Fund signal that removing Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act could give Republicans a path to redraw up to 19 House seats to benefit their party.

The Voting Rights Act — the landmark Civil Rights-era legislation — has been targeted by Republicans, aiming to remove this particular section, Politico reports.

The move would "clear the path for a one-party system where power serves the powerful and silences the people,” Black Voters Matter Fund co-founder LaTosha Brown said in a statement.

The ruling could also ultimately remove 30% of Congressional Black Caucus seats and 11% of Congressional Hispanic Caucus seats, according to Salon.

This could leave limited options for Democrats.

"Democrats could also find ways to use any changes to the VRA to their benefit. The party could redraw maps in heavily-blue areas with VRA protections to try and expand their margins, but there will be fewer opportunities," Politico reports.

The law has been used to offer protections against racial gerrymandering in redistricting, a topic that's become a key move ahead of midterm elections amid President Donald Trump's push to maintain GOP control in Congress, putting pressure on Republicans to redraw district lines and saying "there could very well be consequences" if they don't take action.

Former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor thinks he's probably next on the list of people to get the James Comey treatment from President Donald Trump.

Trump demanded that the Justice Department act on the former FBI director with a prosecution. On Wednesday, Comey was arraigned in court, and Taylor was in court to watch.

"I showed up because I agree or disagree with James Comey's decisions over the years, to me, this is so obviously a case of selective and vindictive prosecution, and sets an extraordinary precedent. Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't say I think that precedent probably affects my fate as well. I'm on the president's enemies list. I think that there's a coin flip chance he tries to put me in the same shoes as James Comey, charge me with something that's obscure," Taylor surmised.

He went on to assert Comey's rights are being violated — and that would apply to anyone in that situation.

"I think it was important for people to go up there, including former Trump officials like myself, to be there at the courthouse and to point out that this is, again, a vindictive prosecution," Taylor added.
