1. Some discussion started up with President Trump yesterday.....that 14-year-old 'bad-boys' are detained, then released (after a vicious assault). Trump says....jail them with the adult 'bad-boys'.
It'll be fought but I think a majority of voters want some type of action done, and it's going to be a massive shock on first thousand bad-boys told by a judge.....'we are locking you in real jail for a month'.
There's probably over 60 points.
There's a case brewing at the Supreme Court....where they may decide that you can't design districts based on race. If it goes that way....gerrymandering will be more difficult.
3. More chatter today....that the Federal Government may take over 'operations' of DC. What it means? Not clear.
At the end of 1973....Nixon signed the act to allow 'home-rule'....meaning it could have a mayor, city council, and run local affairs.
Before that point, Congress would approve a 'Commissioner'.
If you asked me where things are going? They might lean toward sub-dividing DC....saying x-space is city-run, and y-space is controlled by a Commissioner. I might also suggest that they are ready to give 'back' property to Maryland (I'd suggest 40-percent of DC could be handed over).
