Maori Davenport Ruled Ineligible In H.S. Due To Mistake By USA Basketball

Another pushback and waiver

Maori Davenport eligibility hearing postponed for second time.

This seems to ensure that Maori will be allowed to go through the post season.


Charles Henderson is scheduled to open its postseason tournament on Monday against Greenville (Alabama). Davenport and Charles Henderson are the defending state champions.

I just watched Davenport play in the Alabama state championship game of 2018. She looked good. She also looked like she was the tallest player on the court. How tall is she?

A judge has wide latitude to provide “injunctive relief” as a remedy to unfair, misapplied or burdensome regulation, which is exactly what he did in this instance. This is not about changing the Alabama state constitution.

That is not actually true. That perspective comes from ignoring the Justices reasons for their non ruling in Marbury v Madison. While it is used as setting the precedent for judicial review, the actual ruling in that case is completely ignored. While finding the Marbury had been wronged they could not make a ruling in this case because they had not been given specific jurisdiction. So just because a court finds an injustice does not necessarily mean they have the power to correct it. The power for courts to automatically correct injustice via rulings does not exist unless they are specifically given the power to do so by law. They have given that power to themselves via broad interpretation.

Thank you for that analysis Clarence Darrow. I hardly think the most important case in the history of the Supreme Court, involving a battle over judicial appointees between outgoing President Adams and incoming President Jefferson is a particularly apt comparison with the case of a teenage girl who did nothing wrong, taking issue with a silly regulation of the AHSAA, being enforced by a cranky old man.
