WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed California to use a new voter-approved congressional map that is favorable to Democrats in this year’s elections, rejecting a last-ditch plea from state Republicans and the Trump administration.

No justices dissented from the brief order denying the appeal without explanation, which is common on the court’s emergency docket.

If it's right, it's right. If it's wrong, it's wrong. It doesn't matter what color state and for what political shift it is trying to achieve.

This is not the first time California (and other states before Texas) have redistricted. Sadly it probably won't be the last.

But it's an erroneous stance to say it's okay because hey other guy did it.

No the reason it’s ok is because it helps stop actual deranged fascists from gaining further control

Your principles are a luxury borne of false notions and propaganda

I'm prone to think that one group having rights and another group not having them solely based on who they are is more of a fascist belief than the opposite view.

But I'm not here to argue with you, I was just trying to give a perspective because you asked for an explanation.
