The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There could be no clearer case of needing to invoke the Purcell Principle.

But, who the hell knows with this corrupt Roberts SCROTUS.

The Purcell principle is the idea that courts should not change voting or election rules too close to an election in order to avoid confusion for voters and election officials alike. The concept comes from a Supreme Court case, Purcell v. Gonzalez, in which the country’s highest court reinstated a previously blocked citizenship law in Arizona just weeks before the 2006 midterm elections.

The law at the center of the lawsuit required voters to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote and voting in person. After the district court declined to block the law for the fall elections, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily halted the enforcement of the law for the November midterm elections while it decided the merits of the appeal.
