The Supreme Court is allowing California to use its new congressional map for this year's midterm election, clearing the way for the state's gerrymandered districts as Democrats and Republicans continue their fight for control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The state's voters approved the redistricting plan last year as a Democratic counterresponse to Texas' new GOP-friendly map, which President Trump pushed for to help Republicans hold on to their narrow majority in the House.
And in an unsigned order released Wednesday, the high court's majority denied an emergency request by the California's Republican Party to block the redistricting plan. The state's GOP argued that the map violated the U.S. Constitution because its creation was mainly driven by race, not partisan politics. A lower federal court rejected that claim.
Interesting that you want to argue that the world isn't black and white while arguing that simple party affiliation determines whether someone deserves sympathy or villification for the same action.
This is a very "only the Sith deal in absolutes!" type of statement.
The truth is that people are just desperately clinging to the idea that Democrats winning an election will solve all our problems despite all the evidence to the contrary. They've proven time and time again that they are completely fine with "the status quo" because they benefit from all this turmoil just as much as Republicans do. They will not be our saviors no matter how badly people want to believe it.
