Update October 3, 2017: The full transcript has been released for the oral argument in Gill v. Whitford. Check out the transcript below.
The Supreme Court heard oral argument Tuesday in Gill v. Whitford, a case out of Wisconsin that challenges the state's gerrymandered legislative districts.
Jennifer Irvine loved her friends, San Diego, and her career as a Family Law and Criminal Defense Attorney.
She was among those killed in Sunday's mass shooting in Las Vegas.
Her Facebook page has become a remembrance place for those who knew her and loved her.
Irvine ran a family-law and criminal-defense practice near El Cortez hotel.
She was a graduate from USD and Cal Western.
The voting method is extremely important and affects all parts of the election from who wins, how seriously candidates’ ideas are taken, and who you see on your ballot. Specifically, the choose-one plurality voting method that we use now is really bad.
How often do you think about your signature? Probably not often. It becomes so routine that it is a matter of muscle memory for most people.

The numbers are in for Nevada's first month of legal retail marijuana sales.
Although marijuana became legal in the state of Colorado, marijuana trafficking is not legal.
Recently, more than 60 people were charged with illegally growing and distributing more than 4,000 pounds of marijuana within the state of Colorado and across state lines.
The Denver Police Department responded to a complaint that eventually led them to uncover one of the biggest drug busts in Colorado by leading them to unlicensed marijuana growers in warehouses and residences throughout the Denver Metro area. The operation was called “Operation Toker Poker.”
The City of San Diego has a lot to consider when it comes to its energy future.
If Community Choice Aggregation or CCAs is passed by the City Council in January, it would essentially empower those elected officials to purchase energy for the city, not SDG&E.
SDG&E would still maintain their infrastructure, still conduct meter tests and readings, but the government would make those important price point decisions.
This column poses a question for which I have only a tentative answer. I am interested to learn what answers readers have. How do you deal with friends who are so intolerant of political views different from their own that they consider anyone who disagrees with them evil?
The fury over the proper posture to assume during the national anthem at NFL games represents everything that is wrong with American politics.
Massive and community-destroying controversy is created by selfish and self-absorbed elites while accomplishing absolutely nothing positive for ordinary people or those in need.
President Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he criticized NFL players for taking a knee during the national anthem.
