☆ Meet This Year's MacArthur 'Genius Grant' Recipients, Including a Hula Master and the Poet Laureate
  + stars: | 2023-10-04 | by ( Associated Press | Oct. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +8 min
A scientist who studies the airborne transmission of diseases, a master hula dancer and cultural preservationist, and the sitting U.S. poet laureate were among the 20 new recipients of the prestigious fellowships from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, known as “genius grants,” announced on Wednesday. MacArthur fellows receive a grant of $800,000 over five years to spend however they want. Fellows are nominated and endorsed by their peers and communities through an often yearslong process that the foundation oversees. Many past fellows like Octavia Butler, Paul Farmer and Twyla Tharp are luminaries in their fields and Marlies Carruth, who directs the MacArthur Fellows program, emphasized that they hope fellows will support and inspire each other. "To think that I’ve actually been selected as one is really mind-blowing,” she said, of the MacArthur fellows.

☆ How Florida law could trip up Trump if he’s convicted before the 2024 election

Meade is executive director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, which works to restore voting rights in the state to former felons. Amendment 4 automatically restored voting rights to former felons, except those convicted of murder or sexual offenses, who have completed their sentences. Initially, organizers projected that Amendment 4 would restore voting rights to about 1.4 million Floridians, but as a result of these new hurdles only a little over 600,000 have actually regained their voting rights, Meade said. Even after Amendment 4, felons are required to have completed their sentence before recovering their voting rights in Florida, as in virtually all other states. Intervening to restore those rights to Trump, if he’s convicted of a felony before the election, would represent a stark departure from the clemency board’s typical procedures.

  + stars: | 2023-08-03 | by ( Ian Bassin | Kristy Parker | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Other Reconstruction-era laws are also in the center of debates today. That guarantee was ratified in 1868 to reverse the Supreme Court’s Dred Scott decision holding that African Americans were not citizens. And recently, our organization filed a voting rights lawsuit under the 1870 law that readmitted Virginia to the Union. Ian Bassin is a co-founder and the executive director of the group Protect Democracy and a former associate White House counsel. Kristy Parker is counsel at Protect Democracy and the former deputy chief of the criminal section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

☆ Why the law Biden is using to cancel student debt is 'highly strained,' according to a group formed by Obama lawyers aimed at protecting American democracy
  + stars: | 2023-02-08 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Protect Democracy, a group formed by Obama lawyers, filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court on student debt. It said that Biden's usage of the HEROES Act of 2003 to cancel student debt is "highly strained." While there might be another route to cancel student debt, the group said this relief is an overuse of emergency powers. "It is important to recognize that both student debt and the pandemic have disproportionately harmed lower income and minority communities," the brief said. One regarded Biden's student debt relief, and the other was on Arizona v. Mayorkas.
