"Too close to an election" to block the new map, but not "too close" to impose a new map? Fucking bizzaro world
Republican world
What a fucking surprise.
It's really just Alito, not the full court.
Each circuit is assigned to a justice who initially handles emergency motions from that circuit. Alito is assigned to the 5th circuit, which contains Texas. Jackson handled the recent SNAP funding case because she is assigned to the 1st circuit which contains Massachusetts.
So Alito's stay will be redecided by the full court. He set the response deadline on Monday, so it could be any time after that. It could be real fast or it could be a month.
Speaking on the merits of this application, it seems kind of rich to me to say that the court challenge is too close to the election, but it's not too close for the legislature to change the map like a month earlier.
Republicans drew the state’s new map to give the GOP five additional seats, and Missouri and North Carolina followed with new maps adding an additional Republican seat each. To counter those moves, California voters approved a ballot initiative to give Democrats an additional five seats there.
The redrawn maps are facing court challenges in California, Missouri and North Carolina.
How much you want to bet SCOTUS blocks California's redistricting but greenlights Missouri and North Carolina maps, each through tortured logic?
Then you will no longer have the representation you deserve as an American. We fought a war about this already and we kicked the asses of the people that think their money, rather than the consent of the governed, gives them the right to control the citizenry.
We are already there.
With a partisan supreme court there can be nothing else but a direct march toward dictatorship. No longer the intellectual elite of the country, due to their collective money holes not being stuffed to capacity, they will bow to any king who can throw some gold at them.
How depressingly predictable.
Lmao. I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you! Well not that shocked…
WHAT THE FUCK
The federalist society faux-jusrices have a clear practice of ignoring precedent and law, deciding what outcome they want, and then engaging in creative writing to pretend their conclusions are justified by facts.
Do not let anyone pretend that anything the plausible future democratic Congress does to remake the court is too far or too reactionary. We have a 6-3 majority that is all "Bush v Gore" all the time, and if we're going to have ivory tower academics discarding precedent for their chosen ends those academics should at.least be endorsed by the people every few years.
😱
Lol. But the files are definitely not a waste of time when you have a king that owns the courts. Trust.
Alito's servility to Trump is, to say the least, consistent.
