If they start trying to thread the needle between California and Texas, they give the lower courts more opportunities to overturn maps in Republican states and a future SCOTUS more elbow room to overturn their whole reading of legislative maps.
The Roberts SCOTUS has already given any future SCOTUS ample precedent for utterly ignoring previous rulings as it suits their partisan needs several times over. If they think this one somehow stands separate from anything else it's laughable.
This is one of the big issues with 'drug dogs'; they're conditioned to give false positives for rewards.
Those same false positives the serve as grounds for an otherwise illegal search and regardless of findings are often later presented as evidence in any resulting charges as a statement of fact that the 'dog alerted' on the victim to bypass an individuals 4th amendment rights.
My children attended this school until recently, it was initially a very good environment for a less factory-learning structure, especially for less conformist children; we moved them before the protests and responses were an alleged driving factor for relocating. There was already an exodus in progress once the protests were in full swing due to alarming turnover rates among the teaching staff throughout the year as well as multiple issues with the now-removed principal and much of the board (spoiler: lots of turnover there too).
The board (old and new) has consistently tried to operate behind closed doors, stifle parental/community input at meetings, and actively ignores their bylaws/rules/policies as it suits their interests. The meetings leading up to their announcing the move barely pretended to hold to posted agendas or consider the limited input they allowed.
General consensus among most parents that attended/participated board meetings recently was that they (board) were actively trying to spin an excuse to lease from Lundquist (guy that owns the ICE building) with many questioning if one or more members had personal/financial ties to him. Other facilities not mentioned in the article were aggressively dismissed by the board during meetings leading up to the announcement for arbitrary reasons without exploring remedies or workarounds to their declared obstacles, seemingly to create their "we only have two options" narrative they pushed in the article.
When they changed the CPI from a cost of goods index (COGI) To a cost of living index (COLI) it opened the doors to gaming the system and severely underreport the actual inflation rates.
Allowing/claiming 'substitutions' where buyers would allegedly just buy cheaper/off-brand good as prices rise lets reporting steadily claim discounts that aren't actually there for many applications, especially when the reality is many consumers are already buying those same discounted versions of goods which are also rising in prices.
A COGI system on a specific fixed basket of goods shows the true increase in prices over time for those items, which is often a more accurate representation.
Another driver for them to use a COLI system is that the reported inflation rate also drives changes to social security payments, which translates to less funds for their crony capitalism.
Once again Oregon refuses to tax businesses or meaningfully shift the burden onto the heavy trucking industries which are demonstrated to cause considerably more damage to roads per mile than passenger cars.
Blue state indeed...
If only. At least Camacho listened to people on some level other than bribes and sycophants.

I've got several Hue bulbs running through Zigbee2MQTT on HA.
No issues, easy setup, and annoyingly expensive but they have the temperature range my wife prefers.
Ikea's smart bulbs are compatible without much effort (Home Assistant running Zigbee2MQTT). Much cheaper and widely available year round, only downside I've seen is the temperature range isn't nearly as impressive as the white ambiance Hue bulbs.
Yeah, but it's still Twitter and backed by a fascist POS. Gross.
