GO RED ! DO IT NOW !
Death to gerrymandering.
I don't know if the southern states affected like this can impose an emergency redistricting double-quick for the midterms, but some analysts believe that this ruling will eventually flip 19 Democrat seats to Republican.
The Supreme Court just handed down one of the most consequential redistricting decisions in a generation, and Democrats are not going to like it one bit.
In a 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, the majority held that Louisiana's congressional map, redrawn to include a second majority-black district, constitutes an unconstitutional racial gerrymander under the Fifteenth Amendment. The Court stopped short of striking down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act entirely, but it dramatically narrowed the ways in which states may use race when drawing congressional maps.
While not overturning section 2 of the VRA, it construes it into near-irrelevance. All minority voters are entitled to is that the map drawers NOT use race as a metric in drawing their maps.
No more majority-minority districts.

Some stupid mother f*cker just made a comment about Trump wanting to know who the SCOTUS decided in favor of so he would know if he was happy or not.
ReplyDeleteThat would be the same damn way anybody would be. Some people are so f*cking stupid. If the decision was for Republicans, I would be happy. If the decision was for Democrats, I would know we just lost a little more of our Republic.
Deleted that ignorant ass comment.
When are you gonna let be inject a stupid, ridiculous comment so I can be deleted and timely banned?
DeleteYou're safe Cederq. Every blog has to have a token freak. I decided long ago that you were the perfect mascot.
DeleteAbout damn time! Now go after section 2 completely! The only despotized branch of government that seems to be working at least above fifty %... Still sad for our great nation!
ReplyDeleteI think they will the remnant of section 2. You know that SCOTUS would never actually represent the law the way it was originally intended. But this was a good start. If southern states make the right decisions, we could gain 19 red seats from what I'm reading.
DeleteDon't worry, Thune will protect our Uniparty uber alles.
ReplyDeleteThune needs to be unseated and removed from the Senate and the GOP.
DeleteThis ought to get the panties of the commie left and their ground ape accomplices like Jeffries in a twist.
ReplyDeleteI seriously hope so. A ball crushing twist.
