Morning Docket: 01.25.22
* If corporations are people, what's next, rivers? Well actually... [NCRonline] * Alabama's attempt at redistricting was thrown out. Does the Voting Right Act still have some teeth left after all? [Reuters] * The use of affirmative action in college admissions is probably next up on the Supreme Court’s chopping block. [USA Today] * Woman is arrested in Texas after trying to buy someone's child at a Wal-Mart for $500k. There are some things you just can't roll back prices on, libertarians. [NBC News] * Police sent the wrong guy to jail because his name was too similar to someone else's. Guess a rose by any other name is bitter after all. [Independent] * The "Right to Repair" movement has some executive backing. Celebrate by doing it yourself! Or paying a third-party vendor. You do you. [Vice]
