the argument that these are partisan gerrymanders won't wash -- black folks votes don't count in red states unless they vote for Republicans
SC, Alabama and TN move swiftly to take away black representation
Jim Crow 2.0

the judiciary is a co-equal sovereign, federal justices are politically appointed
interpreting the cons ution is politics, but the people will have their say too
just throwing this out there, partisan redistricting every two years is contrary to the Guarantee Clause
https://cons utioncenter.org/the-c...-iv/clauses/42The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
sweaty, desperate calvinball
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinion...5-243_f20h.pdfThis is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters
just popping by
This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights
Like the dems don't even have to do anything complicated in 2028. Kill the fillibuster and inform SCOTUS that their court will now be held in bum Kentucky and their entire budget is zeroed. You don't even have to pack the court.
SCOTUS has basically rewritten the 14th and 15th Amendments -- which were written to protect the rights of black people from discrimination -- so that neither the courts nor Congress can fix racial gerrymandering
Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."
With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters.
