Supreme Court gives Texas the green light

[Thinker101]

The Supreme Court will allow Texas to use a congressional map that adds as many as five Republican seats for next year’s midterm elections, boosting the GOP’s chances of retaining control of the House of Representatives.

The justices on Thursday set aside a lower court decision that had blocked the new electoral lines. The lower court found that the new map was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, but the Supreme Court said that decision appeared to be wrong.

The court’s three liberal justices dissented, with Justice Elena Kagan accusing the majority of improperly substituting its own judgment for the lower court’s factual findings.

It's a good day for Texas, not so good for Democrats. Let the "experts" opinions begin.

And thus begins the race to the bottom.

Is this not cheating OP?

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Texas is just doing what's the Democrats have already done.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yep, that's the lie MAGAts are being spoonfed ^^

And thus begins the race to the bottom.

The race to the bottom started decades ago. Many blue states have gerrymandered republicans into permanent minorities. All this is, is the red states fighting fire with fire.

False. This mid census period redistricting on a whim has not been happening for years.

But it definitely will now.

Enjoy.

One day our country of morons might smarter up and create independent commissions of mathematicians to draw the districts based on census results.

Might.

They also gave California the green light in that same ruling. No opinion needed.

But there are cryptic messages though...

Top Virginia lawmaker delivers cryptic retaliation threat as TX GOP maps get green light

A top Virginia lawmaker uncorked an eyebrow-raising response after the conservative-leaning Supreme Court issued an unsigned order Thursday night allowing Texas to use a Trump-backed redrawn congressional map for the House aimed at flipping several Democratic districts. A three-judge panel...

What is cool is that we can start rewriting districts to lessen the voting power of white people.

California worked out a deal with the Republicans decades ago for something like that and made is a Constitutional Amendment. The democrats just over-rode their Constitution to increase their ability to gerrymander the republican representation out of existence.

Yes, of course. What do you expect? Democrats and Republicans are now in a race to the bottom.

All lights are green green green waving Trump on as the GO-AHEAD that all is clear for Trump to move forward and begin ramping up OPERATION ANNIHILATE THE DEMOCRAPS.

The Texan cheaters better be careful. That state is trending purple.

And they are weakening strong red districts to cheat.

It's happened in the past and TX is not unique in doing it this year.

So all you're going to do is troll, eh? You didn't have time to read the link.
See if you can read this one, by my count it's happened 40 times.

Redistricting between censuses has been rare in the modern era

Midcycle redistricting efforts like the ones in Texas and California have, up to now, been extremely uncommon.
