Rep. Mo Brooks blames decline of 'moral values' for mass shootings
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) on Sunday blamed the decline of "moral values" in the U.S. for mass shootings that have devastated the country. Brooks told "Fox News Sunday" just days after a mass shooting in Texas left 19 children dead that the decline of the traditional American family was to blame for the rise in violence, saying children raised in a household with just one parent are more prone to mental health issues. "It's almost impossible for a single parent to do the kind of job that two parents can collectively do," Brooks told guest host Sandra Smith. "Unfortunately,

In June 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled a unanimous U.S. District Court decision that partisan gerrymandering in North Carolina violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Although Chief Justice John Roberts acknowledged that the practice leads to results that “reasonably seem unjust,” he maintained that partisan gerrymandering is a “political question,” beyond the reach of federal courts.
