Next: Supreme Court throws out California voter supported congressional map because fuck you, that’s why.

Doesn’t the GOP’s success with this map hinge on continued Latino support in Texas?
I wonder what the honest to god chances of this backfiring on them are? Either way, California is on the right track, next up, Virginia. If we ever want unfucked maps ever again, it’s time to fight fire with fire, imho. Put it to a vote and ensure that it is temporary.

1) More shadow docket bullshittery from the extremist mullahs masquerading as Justices.
2) any presumption of “good faith” on the part of any Republican, legislator or otherwise, is completely misplaced.

LOL … why care for votes when you can rule

Who did not know this was going to be the outcome. SCOTUS is in the tank for the Republicans. This is like the 100th time the lower courts ruled against the Republicans and SCOTUS agreed with the Republicans everytime.

I dont care if these maps were made purely for political gain, its an affront to democracy and should not be allowed.
I know the courts are not a democratic institution because they are generally insulated from voters… but this court is the most hostile to democratic principles I have ever seen

There it is. Watch. All the blue state maps are fixing to get shut tf down by SCOTUS because they weren’t acting in “””good faith”””

We have 6 Supreme Court members who belong in prison for burning the Constitution and the rule of law.
We have an entire executive branch full of people who belong in prison for flat out ignoring the Constitution and the rule of law.
We have hundreds of Congresspeople who belong in prison for refusing to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.
The entire Republican party is full of racist, fascist domestic terrorists who are hellbent on turning the US into a white Christo-fascist dictatorship while protecting and supporting rapists and pedophiles.

Mark my words, the irony of all those lambasting this decision is that it will help Democrats win *more* seats in 2026.
(It’s still a bad Supreme Court decision, just a bad one that Democrats can readily exploit with the right candidates and electoral approach.)
Independents have swung so hard against Trump that Republicans can’t afford to divide up their ‘safe’ districts in an attempt to pick up seats without risking a blue wave knocking them off their feet.
The only way this likely doesn’t happen is with extensive voter suppression, which…yeah, Republicans will absolutely attempt, but I’m not sure if even those efforts will save them. At this point more suppression could only serve to infuriate and polarize most of the country against them.

Kagan’s dissent makes pretty clear that the Majority are a bunch of hacks that will do anything that helps Republicans, regardless of precedent, or the law. They made a decision without even attempting to review the district court’s mountain of evidence.
>Over the course of three months, a three-judge District Court in Texas undertook to resolve the factual dispute at issue in this application: In enacting an electoral map slanted toward Republicans, did Texas predominantly use race to draw its new district lines? Or said otherwise, **did Texas accomplish its partisan objectives by means of a racial gerrymander?** **The District Court conducted a nine-day hearing, involving the testimony of nearly two dozen witnesses and the introduction of thousands of exhibits.** **It sifted through the resulting factual record, spanning some 3,000 pages. It assessed the credibility of each of the witnesses it had seen and heard in the courtroom.** And after considering all the evidence, it held that the answer was clear. **Texas largely divided its citizens along racial lines to create its new pro-Republican House map, in violation of the Constitution’s Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments**. **The court issued a 160-page opinion recounting in detail its factual findings. Yet this Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record.** We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision. That is why we are supposed to use a clear-error standard of review—why we are supposed to uphold the District Court’s decision that race-based line-drawing oc-curred (even if we would have ruled differently) so long as it is plausible. Without so much as a word about that standard, this Court today announces that Texas may run next year’s elections with a map the District Court found to have violated all our oft-repeated strictures about the use of race in districting. Today’s order disrespects the work of a District Court that did everything one could ask to carry out its charge—that put aside every consideration except getting the issue before it right. And today’s order disserves the millions of Texans whom the District Court found were assigned to their new districts based on their race. Because this Court’s precedents and our Constitution demand bet-ter, I respectfully dissent.
