Justice DEPT says it will enforce SCOTUS ruling in every state with racially gerrymandered districts

United States Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said Thursday that the Justice Department will enforce the Supreme Court's decision on gerrymandering districts in every state that has such a district.

The Supreme Court struck down two congressional maps in Louisiana Wednesday, ruling the state was unconstitutionally racially gerrymandering when it added a second majority black district. Louisiana redrew the maps in 2024 after a lower court ruled previous maps likely violated the Voting Rights Act because it did not include the second majority black district.

Missouri GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt asked the Justice Department earlier Thursday to enforce the Supreme Court ruling nationwide, noting it had the power to do so.

"Senator - we are ON IT!" Dhillon replied on X. "The [Justice Department] under [Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche] continues to prioritize equal protection of the laws for ALL Americans, be it in employment, housing, education - and voting."

The commitment comes as 45 redistricting disputes remain unresolved in federal and state courts, casting a cloud of legal uncertainty over the fight for control of the U.S. House of Representatives this November.

Good! The DOJ should be putting their thumb on the scale.

America has suffered under racial gerrymandered districts for far too long.

Time to set things right.

This will never be settled in time for the 28 elections.

This will never be settled in time for the 28 elections.

It will be settled in dribs and drabs in the states and in the courts, just as it should be.

I'm fine with a flipping few seats here and a few seats there.

What's wrong, you were perfectly fine with the DOJ investigating moms at school board meetings when the NSBA sent a letter to Garland.

Last week, Jen Psaki, issued a warning to Republican state legislators in Alabama who passed legislation to prevent chemicals such as puberty blockers or surgeries such as castration and hysterectomy from being administered to prepubescent children.

If signed by Gov. Kay Ivey, the law also would prohibit schools from keeping parents in the dark when their children are being “counseled” on these issues by other adults.

These Republicans, Psaki threatened, have been “put on notice” by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for possible violations of the Constitution and federal law.

You may not have known that the DOJ has this menacing power to put lawmakers “on notice.” It doesn’t. It’s a DOJ swim lane simply made up by the White House; it doesn’t exist.

I'd say that all and all the current DOJ is pretty tame in comparison with the jack-booted thugs Biden had working for him....Or whoever was pulling his strings.

The USSC has again flipped the perverse Narrative of the Left that, "You may not discriminate on the basis of race," means, "You must discriminate on the basis of race."

The public reactions of the Left's Talking Heads are entertaining in the extreme.
