The U.S. Treasury Department in 2017 imposed sanctions on Moreno and the seven principal members of the court’s constitutional chamber for rulings that “usurped the authority” of the opposition-controlled legislature, the National Assembly, now headed by Guaido. “Mike Pence is trying to submit Venezuela’s top legal authorities to threats that violate the principles of independence, self-determination and sovereignty,” Moreno said in comments broadcast on state television. “We cannot be blackmailed and we will never bow before a foreign government that seeks to violate the sovereignty of our country.”

Venezuela’s pro-government Constituent Assembly has stripped Guaido and eight other opposition legislators of their parliamentary immunity to prosecution following requests by the Supreme Court.

Pence to Announce U.S. Will Lift Sanctions on Venezuela Gen. Manuel Cristopher Figuera After He Broke Ranks With MaduroPence to say U.S. is lifting sanctions on Venezuela Gen. Manuel Cristopher Figuera after he broke ranks with Maduro, encourages others to follow R2P VP 🇺🇸🇻🇪🇺🇸 Not a very helpful article. It fails to say where Gen. Manuel Cristopher Figuera may now be found (Venezuela or the U.S.?) and what his role was in the Maduro regime. I don't understand how this works. Specifically: What about people who had their sanctions lifted, but who are nevertheless unable to explain how they acquired their U.S. assets? Is the Trump administration giving people like this a pass? Or is it another issue, for another day?

Ohio Gerrymander Struck Down as Supreme Court Weighs IssueA court in Cincinnati struck down Ohio’s congressional map, finding Republican state lawmakers improperly amplified their party’s power. The 301-page opinion serves as an unofficial brief to the U.S. Supreme Court. I think it's better to let them have this as a way to help us improve our state's voting system. It a start, If Cambridge Analytic can set up maps for the Parties to use to Gerrymander. Other companies should be able to massage Data to come up with balanced maps. The majority of SCOTUS is a partisan block rulings without intellectual consistency and driven to achieve a particular result. They do so because they have the power. So it is hard to imagine them chastising anyone else doing the exact same thing.
