Ten years ago, in civic sermons across the South, the Rev. William J. Barber II outlined all the ways states made it harder to vote when federal protections weakened. The most restrictive laws, Barber noted, were designed with black people in mind; federal judges had found that black people were targeted with “almost surgical precision.” As he painted the details, the Rev. Barber implicitly asked, “Who does this remind you of?” “Jim Crow never retired,” Barber replied. “He went to law school. Meet James Crow.”It’s a powerful allegory. Jim Crow was a 19th-century minstrel figure whose stereotypes about enslaved black…
“I Voted” stickers on display at Webb City Hall in Denver, Tuesday, June 25, 2024. (Photo by Zachary Spindler Craig/The Denver Post) This November, Denver voters will be asked to ban slaughterhouses in the city.

The hardest part about gauging the potential impact of the first presidential debate is figuring out which candidate needs it most. A month ago, the answer was clear: President Joe Biden. His team wouldn’t have pushed for an early debate if they hadn’t concluded they needed something to shake up the race before the fall. But with one guilty verdict on 34 charges, it’s less clear which candidate needs the debate the most. Why does it matter? Because if the debate doesn’t matter to a candidate right now, that candidate will be risk-averse in the debate itself. Speaking to smart…
Washington DC – Steven Hall Better Markets’ Legal Director and Securities Specialist released the following statement in relation to the Supreme Court’s decision: Jahkessy v. SEC: “This is a bad day for U.S. investors who rely on the SEC to enforce the law against securities market fraudsters and charlatans. The Supreme Court invalidated the SEC’s authority to petition an administrative law judge for enforcement actions, based on the view that the Constitution guarantees a right to a jury trial in common law cases. However, the SEC’s complaint is a statutory, not a common law, complaint brought by the government for…
