The Epoch Times: The Highly Political and Misunderstood Case of Moore v. Harper
In Moore v. Harper, the Supreme Court ruling on North Carolina's redistricting, the media and commentators misunderstood the case. The ruling, which favored the plaintiffs, was hailed as a liberal victory, but it was likely consistent with the Constitution's original meaning. The court's so-called conservative bloc proved to be divided, with three justices agreeing with the liberal result. The case focused on the interpretation of the Constitution's "Legislature" and the power it grants to state legislatures in drawing congressional districts.

Red State: California Bill Would Require Judges to ‘Rectify Racial Bias’ in Sentencing
The California State Assembly is considering a bill that would require judges to impose more lenient sentences on Black Americans to rectify racial bias in the criminal justice system. The bill is part of a proposed reparations package and aims to consider the disparate impact on historically disenfranchised populations. This radical-leftist move may result in an inundation of challenges to criminal sentencing and potentially violate the Equal Protection Clause. The priorities in California are evident as Democrat legislators block a bill that would make sex trafficking of minors a serious felony, while focusing on promoting racism within the criminal justice system. This perversion exists at various levels of government, contributing to the belief that the country is on the wrong track.

The American Mind: The Antiracist Constitution
The Supreme Court issued two significant decisions, striking down affirmative action programs and ruling against compelling a website designer to create content related to same-sex weddings. These decisions are seen as operating within the constitutional order, which values diversity and opposes discrimination.

The Court's decisions may not bring about substantial change, as we live under an antiracist constitution rather than the original document.
