Bricker, you’re sounding like a moron. What the fuck does the fact that someone else provided the cite have to do with anything? Is it your position that every single person must repeat every single cite that they rely on for their posts?
I imagine a thread about a terrorist attack, with a link in the OP. A second poster comes into the thread and posts their hopes that the terrorists get caught. Bricker comes in and says, “Cite that there was a terrorist attack?” and mocks the second poster for not providing their own cite.
That is an idiotic way to conduct a discussion, Bricker, and I cannot believe you’re genuinely defending it.
Not remotely a valid analogy.
Here, you post an argument. Another poster post what appears to be a different argument:
Rep. David Lewis, a Republican member of the North Carolina General Assembly, told fellow legislators in 2016 when they passed the redistricting plan, “I think electing Republicans is better than electing Democrats. So I drew this map to help foster what I think is better for the country. I propose that we draw the maps to give a partisan advantage to 10 Republicans and three Democrats because I do not believe it’s possible to draw a map with 11 Republicans and two Democrats.”
It’s not at all clear that he is adopting your adoption of the court’s reasoning or their finding of facts. He’s laying out a specific claimed statement by a single member of the General Assembly and rhetorically asking how it’s possible for that to be constitutional.
Is that your argument also? It didn’t seem to be.
Is it?
