BREAKING in NC: I'm told the new GOP state supreme court Chief Justice Newby has fired top court administrative officials including executive directors and general counsel. Described as "unprecedented and unparalleled" power grab to remake NC courts.
Newby defeated the Democratic chief justice in November by just 401 votes. Ds hold 4-3 edge, but big changes underway in a state where the Supreme Court has been a key bulwark against R legislature's gerrymanders and suppression efforts
Those out, I'm told -- with almost zero notice -- include the director, deputy director, general counsel, legislative liaison, and director of organizational development at the administrative office of the courts
While so many eyes on Washington, we are going to have to be extra-vigilant about watching power plays in the states
Grateful to see so many people paying attention. If so inclined, lots of stories of how citizens have fought back for democracy and voting rights and won in UNRIGGED, new in paperback this week. https://www.amazon.com/Unrigged-Americans-Battling-Back-Democracy/dp/163149872X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1592838655&sr=8-2

I should add: Getting Newby on the NC Supreme Court has long been a priority of the same RSLC forces that helped create the gerrymanders in NC this last decade. Here are just some of the never before seen internal documents from his 2012 race.
