Texas was so confident when they started this process.

Wait. Is this recent? Like they overturned the foolish appeal?
Edit: One of several legal challenges. Process isn’t over.

This is almost certainly going to go through given precedent.

The RNC continues to bitch on high like a toddler about “Lawfare” because every accusation is merely a projection.

Somewhere a Florida MAGA voter making $25k/year just fell to their knees in a Winn-Dixie.

What was the point in having the whole state come out to vote? If it was illegal it should never have been able to be voted on.

“Many a tradition and law has been laid down in the advancement of a national quest for political power, and the winds that will blow cannot yet be known. Nonetheless, this Court knows its role is clear. It is not to assess the wisdom of public policy nor to engage in policy making from the bench,” Judge Tracy Thorne-Begland wrote in his order. “Instead, it is to decide if those with whom we have entrusted power have exercised that power in conformance with their constitutional mandate. On this question, the Court’s answer is in the affirmative.”

“Allows”

It’s going to be hard to overturn.
SCOTUS has said political gerrymandering is legal. Voters voted on it. Outside some legal 180s, it is on pretty solid legal footing.

The RNC really tried to argue that the *legislative* branch didn’t have the authority to introduce a *constitutional amendment*…

Once this shitstorm clears and we remove the parasites we can. I hope we all (left right and Independents) agree to push our reps to abolish gerrymandering and go back to what it should be. But not until then.
I’m an Independent that thinks it’s 1000% acceptable to return the bs back on the MAGA nut jobs. But to be clear this needs to go away after normalcy returns if it can..

so voters approve it and courts still have to decide… shows how messy redistricting really is

this is why nobody trusts the system vote passes, then gets challenged immediately

One party voted unanimously in Congress to ban gerrymandering. I’ll give you a hint it wasn’t the Republicans. FAFO.
