Supreme Court gives Texas the green light

[Crepitus]

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.

That's just the lie you have been fed. there is not truth there.

 

[Crepitus]

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

Might.

seems pretty unlikely right now.

 

[Crepitus]

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.

That would be what you call "retaliation".

 

[Crepitus]

Texas has about 3 million that are not being represented.
They deserve to have a congressperson

At the expense of millions who will lose theirs.

High time they learned....
It always amazes me to see the lefties scream in agony when conservatives use their playbook.
Astounding double standard profile!
Harry Reid-ism!

This is yet another disgraceful decision by the corrupt Roberts court that is also another nail in the coffin, for the Voting Rights Act.

Which, make no mistake, was part of the reason Republicans brought this fight.

We long ago figured out that racial gerrymandering, even IF done to achieve partisan advantage, is not okay. Whether you meant to be racist or not, too bad, find another way.

The conservatives ignored this. Their entire opinion amounted to, "Nuh uh, it was clearly done for partisan advantage only, and that's that." This is a stunning rebuke of the mountain of precedent and hard fought law on disallowing racial bias in gerrymandering, regardless of intent.

Then they chastised the lower court for rendering the decision just weeks before candidates are due to declare for a primary, marking a year long blackout period which, in general, covers at least 50% of our time on this planet, apparently. But no mention of the redistricting just months before an election.

This court gave to itself the power of the district court without presenting any clear error in the reasoning of the district court. This is not a normal Supreme Court.

It’s odd, I can’t recall you having problems with democrats creating “creative” districts to advance either racial or political objectives.

No you can't, because it has been a long time since we caught democrats gerrymandering to disadvantage a race and getting called out for it in the courts.

And thus begins the race to the bottom.

Is this not cheating OP?

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...

Nobody expected anything less from SC(r)OTUS. The best justices money can buy.

“Cheating” is begging 50 million desperate thirdworlders to traverse our border..for the promise of free shit galore in exchange for a vote for the party of filth and foreigners.

Boilerplate xenophobe nonsense. Old as the hills, as they say in MAGA country. Which includes me.

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.

You cultists have still not learned that every new low benchmark you set always comes back to ***** slap you.

[westwall]

That's just the lie you have been fed. there is not truth there.

The democrats have gerrymandered the crap out of their blue states. How else do you get a state with 40% of the population being repub yet having ZERO representation?

DURRRRRR

How awesome would it be if the SC then strikes CA;s redistricting map?

Everyone in TX is represented.

Texas​

Texas is set to gain four new congressional seats after the 2030 census due to significant population growth. This growth is primarily driven by a large increase in residents of color, particularly Hispanics, who have accounted for a substantial portion of the state's population growth since 2010. The state's political clout is expected to continue growing, with the potential for Texas to gain four seats, making it one of the largest congressional delegations in the U.S..
