Yesterday, the United States Supreme Court took the extraordinary step of immediately certifying its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, bypassing its own standard 32 day delay. In doing so, it gave Louisiana Republicans the green light to immediately redraw their congressional maps, hurting minority voters and upturning the regularity of our electoral system after votes have already been cast. The result: two majority-Black districts, drawn to give their residents fair shot at representation, are now at imminent risk of elimination after last week’s decision all but erased Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

Yesterday, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees who were illegally placed on administrative leave for exercising their First Amendment and whistleblower rights were ordered back to work. On August 25, 2025, the employees sent a dissent letter to Congress—The FEMA Katrina Declaration—protesting gross waste and mismanagement, abuses of authority, dangers to public health and safety, and violations of laws, rules and regulations by Agency management.

Last night, the president stood before Congress and declared a "golden age of America." What followed was nearly two hours of false claims, dehumanizing rhetoric, and a vision of governance that treats constitutional constraints as obstacles rather than obligations.

Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), in partnership with Tidal Water Consulting, today announced the winners of the inaugural Rights in Reel Time Challenge, a national competition inviting law students to translate constitutional rights into compelling short-form videos for the public.

After a blind review process conducted by a distinguished panel of legal experts, journalists, and educators, cash prizes of $3,000 (First Place), $1,250 (Second Place), and $750 (Third Place) were awarded to three student submissions selected for excellence in constitutional grounding, legal accuracy, clarity, and creativity. 

Five years after January 6, the threat to our democracy has only deepened. What began as an authoritarian attempt to overturn an election has evolved into sustained attacks on the rule of law, the independence of our institutions, and the separation of powers meant to protect us all. Accountability for January 6 was never fully realized, and in some cases has been actively dismantled. At Lawyers for Good Government, we are building the legal firewalls this moment demands—mobilizing the legal community to defend democratic institutions, protect vulnerable communities, and hold power accountable. We are still here. We are still organizing. And we are not backing down.
