Today, in a very important 6-3 decision at the Supreme Court [Full pdf Ruling Here] the high court ruled in Louisiana -vs Callais that congressional districts drawn by considering race are an unconstitutional gerrymander. Race should not be a consideration in the drawing of district boundaries.
Chief Justice John Roberts had previously described Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District as a “snake” that stretches more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) to link parts of Shreveport, Alexandria, Lafayette and Baton Rouge. “That map is an unconstitutional gerrymander,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion.
Justice Elena Kagan wrote the dissent for the three leftist, activist justices. “The consequences are likely to be far-reaching and grave. Today’s decision renders Section 2 all but a dead letter,” Kagan wrote, referencing Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
(Via Politico) – […] Alito said a revised interpretation of Section 2 was needed in part because of the Supreme Court’s 2019 ruling that the Constitution does not prohibit gerrymandering for partisan purposes. As a result, he suggested, plaintiffs in voting discrimination lawsuits are now often “dressing their political-gerrymandering claims in racial garb.”
“Failing to account for political considerations in redistricting … can allow plaintiffs to undo a State’s legitimate, non-racial decisions under the banner of Section 2,” Alito wrote, appearing to express concern that Democrats could use voting rights lawsuits for partisan purposes rather than to target racial discrimination.
“If race and politics are not disentangled and a Section 2 claim is cynically used as a tool for advancing a partisan end, the VRA’s noble goal will be perverted,” he wrote.
The high court’s decision is the culmination of a long-running battle in Louisiana over Black voters’ representation in Congress. The Supreme Court first heard argument in the case in March 2025, but the justices failed to issue a ruling and made the unusual decision to hear it again this term. (read more)
The leftist/activist justices (Kagan, Sotomayor and the DEI Justice Brown-Jackson), had intentionally been slow-walking their dissent opinion in order to delay the release of the high court ruling released today. The delay tactic was intended to stop ‘Republican’ states from using the majority ruling for redistricting purposes prior to this year’s midterm federal election.
Democrats and Community Activist groups are apoplectic that race is not permitted in the determination of congressional districts. Democrats could stand to lose up to 20 seats in the House of Representatives if race is no longer a factor in making district boundaries. Former President Barack Obama is highly upset at the decision:
President Trump celebrated the elimination of racism in congressional districting.
[SOURCE]



There is an aspect in the Callais decision that will make it almost impossible for a state to have a racially gerrymandered district. The Court required a “strict scrutiny” analysis of any such state action.
The importance of the strict scrutiny standard, which is applied to claims of racial or religious discrimination, is that it shifts the burden of proof.
Burdens of proof determine what presumptions are made, such as the presumption of innocence in a criminal case. The presumption puts the burden of proof on the prosecutor. A smart defense lawyer can sometimes win a case just by attacking the prosecution evidence, while introducing none of his own.
In other kinds of discrimination lawsuits besides race or religion, the plaintiff has the burden of proof showing that the law is discriminatory. If a 19-year-old wanted to challenge a drinking age, he would be faced with a legal presumption that the distinction between age groups was proper. If a non-resident wanted resident tuition at a state university, she’d have to show that such a distinction was improper.
But when you get to strict scrutiny, the presumption switches, and the law is presumed to be discriminatory, and the state has to prove otherwise. This is a very high, almost impossible standard to meet. The state must show that there is a “compelling state interest” (very serious government goal) in sorting out people by race or religion.
That’s why Kagan complained that while the majority hadn’t struck down the provision of the VRA in question, but the majority had made it so difficult to prove at case that the racially-defined district was valid that the majority might as well have.
A very clever move by Alito. .He may have taken this narrowing approach to get to six votes. Just striking down this section might have lost him Roberts…or more.
Take it as a good win, even if Section 2 was not struck down in its entirety.
Withal: always grateful for you analysis with the sharp legal angle. Thank you.
<Withal: always grateful for you analysis with the sharp legal angle. Thank you.>

Maybe this will work?

ALITO IS NOT WAITING
⠀
The Supreme Court ruled this morning that Louisiana’s congressional map is unconstitutional. The plaintiffs asked the court to skip the normal 32 day wait and issue the judgment now. Justice Alito ordered Louisiana to respond by 4 PM tomorrow.
⠀
Plain English. Alito is moving fast.
⠀
Normally the court waits 32 days before sending the ruling down to the lower court. The wait gives the losing side time to ask for a rehearing. The plaintiffs want to skip the wait so Louisiana can draw a new map in time for the 2026 midterms.
⠀
Louisiana is on the same side as the plaintiffs now. The state already switched positions and agreed the old map was unconstitutional. Both sides want the new map drawn this year.
⠀
The only people who want delay are the activists who lost. They want to run the 2026 election on the old map and fight the new one in court.
⠀
Alito is not letting them stall.
⠀
If the judgment goes down this week, Louisiana redraws the map in days. Republicans gain a seat. The 2026 midterm starts on the new map.
⠀
The court ruled this morning. The court is moving by tomorrow. The map gets fixed before the election.
⠀
Now everyone knows.
Good update
This was a pretty simple ruling, in summary:
The only colors you can use to gerrymander your state are for Red & Blue. Also another tip, looking at you Virginia, you need to follow your state’s constitution. I expect their recent election efforts to be overturned by either their Supreme Court or if necessary SCOTUS.
I’d bet the Virginia Supreme Court is relieved at this ruling. It can now duck out of deciding a messy political fight, and instead use the SCOTUS ruling to strike down Spanberger’s map.
“Sorry, Dems, but that new map violates the US Constitution. Re-district after the 2026 election, and try to follow the procedure in the state constitution this time.”
I don’t think the VRA is an applicable judicial rationale in the VA case.
But failure to comply with the procedure specified under VA law is.
The VA Supremes had a chance to stop this power grab in February, and let it continue. Weak.
Denying a stay on the injunction is a hopeful sign.
If the Spanberger map carves out racially defined congressional districts, then Callais should be applicable.
I don’t think VA grab uses straight race, looking at the history of the thing.
It’s a more traditional gerrymander methodology, just taken to extremes.
But they disregarded the process, and the specific ballot language was deceptive, to put it mildly.
Yep
Utah too. A judge over-ruled the Legislature’s map and imposed one proposed by a partisan litigation. Utah has a strong R majority, Dems are trying to get “their own” district. It’s not racial but it was driven by partisan issues.
The whole mess was kicked off by “Prop. 4” requiring a citizen distracting commission but the Legislature still has to approve the maps.
Correct, the VRA does not appear to applicable in VA, their main problem appears to be a procedural e.g. state constitution issue whereas Spamberger called a special session to get this item passed on a simple majority vote. Problem being their state constitution only allows the calling of a special session for budgetary items and this was not that. Also this specific gerrymander agenda item would’ve required a 2/3’s vote to approve as a constitutional amendment & was passed with a simple majority to hold the election.
They tried to pull a fast one under false pretenses & will more than likely be shot down for it.
I think they also saw what was coming with this VRA case, and it was a desperate strategy to “soften the blow” nationally before it came down.
I mentioned that broader motivation a couple weeks ago when they pulled this stunt in VA.
They knew they were about to lose 20+ House seats nationally.
Fwiw I listened to the oral argument on Monday, and the VaSCt justices made it pretty clear that it was their longstanding policy to not decide these issues constitutionally if a vote could moot the dispute. That is why they did not enjoin the vote. But the procedural problems (including having a special session for the budget converted into one of the required sessions before an election for the constitutional amendment, and after voting already started) seemed to have been a move that gave them pause. Hence the quick denial of the appeal stay request by the Dems. Signals pretty clearly that it won’t be a close call that the vote was procedurally improper.
I read it the same way. From our Lips to Gods ears!
If I were the challengers’ counsel right now, I’d have my associates and law clerks getting VA demographic information and overlaying it on the new congressional map.
I would also have staff doing word searches through legislative history and news reports to see if any Dem mentioned that they had drawn Section 2 districts.
If a district appeared to have a majority of a group that is a racial minority in the state, I would apply to the VA Supreme Court to review the case in light of the new, binding precedent from SCOTUS.
The Dems could respond that they didn’t gerrymander based on race, but on political affiliation (the latter is permitted).
The VA Supreme Court would have to decide what the motive was in drawing these district, keeping in mind that a ruling might be appealed to SCOTUS.
That might (ok, might) make them a little more cautious in approving the new map.
A long shot, but worth a try. Some long shots do succeed in the law.
Interesting….
That’s surly a long way around the mountain, but does provide for counter measures in two directions
Not sure that will be needed since VA’ constitution already has the remedy in place, it just needs to be followed in order to execute their purpose. Since that would require a 2/3 aye vote of the assembly to call a special session for non-budgetary business. They wouldn’t get it based on the numbers so I think this gerrymandering election vote dies on the vine?
Yes, it may die on the vine because of violations of the VA constitution. But it couldn’t hurt to try to bring in violations of the US Constitution as well.
The Light Bringer is gonna lose it. GOOD!!!
The kenyan is on a losing streak lately. Boo hoo, maybe he’ll have to drown his “personal chef” boy friend again to feel better
He has become irrelevant and insignificant. But he’s trying desperately to be heard. I ain’t listening.
You mean the faux light bringer, don’t you?
Good is right!
The BLIGHT Bringer is what I call him among other pejorative names
Racists are most particularly aggrieved by this decision.
Today’s ruling is a miscarriage of justice. How can we ever win any race if we can’t cheat, steal, rig or divide by color? ~Demtards Everywhere
They still got rig, steal and cheat though.
That’s the first plank of their platform.
As long as Democrats can still Gerrymander cemeteries into their districts they will continue to steal elections.
Don’t you mean DemonRats?
MNN BREAKING…

Obama and his “democracy”..
(Ladylike spit)
Where his 50.5% percent (through gerrymandering and cheating) can exert tyranny over the 49.5% rest of us.
And will.
Now, where are those Blue State voter rolls stuffed with illegal aliens and dead folk…
…because this is what Democrats are, and they’ve told us.
We have been warned, lest we become complacent for the November midterms.
“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always – – do not forget this, Winston – – always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on the human face – – forever.”
~the prescient Orwell of course
This Friday is May 1st…there are already protests planned to kick off the summer chaos of 26. These SC rulings will cause more and more angst about the mid-terms. The communist dems were counting on these decisions to go their way. Oops, oh well. They are going to get more violent in the coming months; count on it.
Oh and you do not have to resort to a ladylike spit when it involves Osama Obama. He deserves much worse.
Well then, sis…
Tme to secure our Armour even more tightly in the face of the Obama led and approved anarchists.
And yes. He deserves more, lots more.
But here is where I am wary.
With the courts as partisan as they are, especially in DC, even if proper indictments were brought, even if they try to righteously hold him to account for his contemptible treason and fail, precedent would have been set.
Can you imagine what a future cheating, vindictive, pathologically cruel Democrat administration would do to President Trump after he leaves ofice?
My position has become to abide by the word of God as we are instructed.
“Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”
And be content with that…
Because we know, according to His word, it shall be done.
With complete respect, we are not dealing with God fearing ethical moral men and women. What you suggest applies to children in my view. But this is a very dangerous enemy that is exactly as you have illuminated. They are and they will be vengeful, vile, violent. We know this because we have already experienced it.
We can take a page out of history about what happens when you allow this kind of evil to fester, to be allowed space, to be unbothered by consequence. We fought WW2 far too late…we allowed it to fester until all of a sudden forced to march our young men and women into a war to same the entire earth from tyrannical power. Not a overblown comparison. It’s always good intentions…we can wait. they will learn by our good graces to take it back and relax. That is not how these corruptors operate. They want it all and they will use every single measure they can manufacture to bring that about.
Waiting for some supreme direction or a distant judgement after life is not practical…it is absolutely dangerous and I shudder to even think we can tempt fate that anything can turn these people around. They are also due justice because of the enormous damage they have caused on the very foundations of our society, our rule of law and just plain decency and morality. As you are keenly aware, I am an avid reader of your comments for a very long time, this nation was designed to be made up of people of good moral standing, God fearing people. But what happens when it is not? What happens when there is a segment of this society that objects to that standards, sabotages it for self gain, and even just because they want power that does not belong to them? then what?
That is now. That is here. We live in that condition right now. We can continue to ignore this growing problem and do nothing and I can guarantee it will become far worse than anything Orwell could have imagined. I refer to these people as corruptors. There is a reason for that term. it fits perfectly the nature of the beast that occupies their mind and rules their ideas and decisions and actions. Yes, I do believe many people living in this country are possessed by demons….so far gone away from God and the truth, that they have become dangerous wild creatures..human…but so deeply absorbed in sin, they have become literal monsters. One does not need to read the news to feel this growing threat. But when one does, there can be no doubt, the kind of violence that is happening isn’t some statistical outlier. It’s evil growing because it has not been put into check. I believe it is the Christian duty, the moral obligation and the righteous cause to cut that down at every possible encounter.
That may seem extreme to some. I prefer to leave this world knowing a few less monsters are going to ride for free and allowed to fester and influence others to do the same. Do I wish them dead, absolutely not. Do they deserve to live in America and enjoy the benefits of a nation that has been made by the free and the brave. That really is the question isn’t it.?
ship em out. citizenship and the right to live in a moral society must have terms.
God Bless America
Thank Regitiger. Your words state perfectly what a lot of us feel but have a hard time describing.
“Can you imagine what a future cheating, vindictive, pathologically cruel Democrat administration would do to President Trump after he leaves ofice?”
Would to to President Trump? They’ll do it to his kids until Judgment Day.
<Ladylike spit>
Easy to say…
Rolls off your tongue 🙂
You’ve had your Wheaties today….haven’t you, dear WORDMAN 😎
Betsy, I am so disappointed in you…(LOL-my sentiments exactly!)…are they giving us some wins for when they strike down the citizenship law, later this year?
I think a more appropriate measure would be posting your famous picture of “Southern Stare”…
I’m saving her for if that comes to pass, girl. Which unfortunately I am expecting as well, even in the face of the unconstitutionality of it. And when it happens, when we are ordered to become a dumping ground for the whole world, we will know the Republic is well and truly finished.
(She came this close to making an appearance on the thread about the State Banquet…but in the end I let dear Ad rem handle matters…which she most certainly did, God bless her 😎)
I’ll pitch in.
What a champ you are 😁👍🏻!!
That’s what Treehouse family do 💕
Oh my! That stare would ignite a cord of firewood!
Wait a minute!! That looks like Betsy Jones!
Will this end up tossing any of the insufferable POC in Congress, the ones who specifically target whites in their vitriol?
Jasmine Crockpot in Texas is done for…
Here’s hoping!
No hoping about it, she will more than likely not even run for reelection in that district.
Already gone. She tried for the Senate when Texas gerrymandered her district out of existence 😎
Ow that’s an insult to Crockpots everywhere!
Yep, that’s Jazzy Jazz to a tee – low and slow.
Nicely done
I believe same for the cave man.
Al Green is gone, too.
She’s been awfully quiet lately.
Bliss!!
Perhaps she can open her own Learing Center franchise in Texas!
Bennie Thompson, MS of J6 committee fame. is in serious trouble…
Well its racial discrimination so……
Thank goodness for a common sense ruling that eliminates discrimination against the whole voting electorate and allows for more fair elections and representation.
States need to eliminate all unconstitutional racially gerrymandered districts forthwith otherwise the election outcomes of those districts are subject to being thrown out in court after the election when challenged in court.
Agreed! It may take an out-of-state activist group to do it. There are several around the country that were previously done with those specific guidelines that still exist. Each one should be surfaced and scuttled.
It is a good week.

He is McConnell’s creature. Nursed on turtle venom.
Thune is not an idiot. But he is controlled by forces we are not privy to seeing the specifics of when it comes to those pulling his strings. He will die on the hill of making sure the SAVE America Act never goes anywhere.
Wait… is that news??? /sarc
Two observations from today’s decision:
One, Elena Kagan finally penned something I agree with: “The consequences are likely to be far-reaching and grave.” If you believe in a colorblind society of equal justice under the law, then today’s decision is a matter of weeping and gnashing of teeth because it’s a game-changer that removes a pillar of Democrat governance – dividing society based on inherently artificial characteristics. But if you believe that the Constitution actually advances the cause of equal justice, and that in the eyes of God we are all of equal dignity as His image bearers, then not dividing people according to “race” is to be celebrated as it actually advances King’s vision of a society where we are not judged by the color of our skin but the content of our character. Kagan, as a justice of the court, should be ashamed of herself. Her opinion hearkens back to antebellum times, when the court treated people as inherently different based upon skin color. Thank you, Elena Kagan, for exposing at the highest levels of politics the endemic racism of the Left. The late Robert Byrd, in full Klan robes, could not have made this more clear than she.
Two, and I’ve posted about this before – “Barry” Obama just cannot shut up to save his life. His appalling narcissism and need for attention are unbecoming of one who once held our highest office. It’s a given that, as a creature of the Left, he’ll still be voting for the next 100 years – that’s baked into the corrupt equation of life in America. But I believe that even then he’ll buck tradition and we’ll be reading afresh his snarkish commentary from the grave.
J
Well said!
Barry was a DEI hire.
Not sure if by fraud or guilt, certainly not qualifications.
BHO is still running things on the D side…..
Oh my so many years of using racism to short change those that don ‘t has now been brought to a halt.
Alito’s opinion was 36 pages long. Kagan’s dissent (Sotomayor and KBH joined in) was 48 pages long.
When a person is writing stuff and nonsense, it takes more pages to make it sound coherent.
Even with 48 pages, the Three Woke Amigos still failed.
Amigas
What does that tell ya….“thou doth protest too much!”
Or perhaps annoying leftist women can never shut up?
what you said!
Well as they say in my world of proposal writing: if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bulk. 😎
Same goes for writing resume’s. Use more & fancier words.
I thought the saying went more like “… baffle them with bull$π!+”
Feelings are often harder to explain than the law.
One would think in a nation of DEI there would be a 9-0 decision against racccissmmm.
Apparently giving whitey the shaft isn’t racism.
“Reverse Discrimination” has been around for a long, long time…at least since 1971, which was when I was made aware of it, at a young age.
Perhaps things will mellow out now? Or will there be alternate avenues that will be pursued? I cannot see an arena where it will be “let go”…
That’s about the time that I started hearing that term being used. And it still exists today.
Interestingly, I kind of got that from Alito’ opinion? In essence, if you allow for gerrymandering along racial determinants, racial majorities (whites) could utilize this in the counter effect, hence the reason the VRA was enacted to prevent southern states from doing this to racial minorities.
This is simply refortifying the VRA back to its original intent & not some liberally manipulated trick.
*Aggiegirl hits on this as well in her comment above mine.
This decision should have been put forth in 1965.
Well, look at it. This is what they came up with.
Nice map of places not to live.
Clearly should be in the AAA Travel Guide as no go zones! 😉
Yep…49 on the north down to 10 on the south…
I am in LA and correct you are sir or ma’am!
Now that’s funny!
Being a native of the ByYou state, I would have to agree!
Ludicrous.
Looks like a severe T-storm warning map and not congressional districts. Good Grief LA!
Democrats complaining about this ruling effectively admit that they think all black voters “belong” to Democrats regardless of policies nor how terrible a candidate might be.
simplified. tribalism politics depends on very unsmart, morally bankrupt, easily misguided, often offensive and unstable misfits.
the left not on depends on a regular audience of this type and tribe, but has spent billions upon billions upon billions of money “investing” in a future than ensures they remain captured by that tribalism.
that is the truth…and more and more, over the years, who here can say honestly, you would have predicted this would kick off, this new awareness in Louisiana?
here is the truth: people really don’t like tribalism. its sucks. It makes you stupid and you get nothing out of it. You think it helps you until you realize you are no better off relating to the rest of the tribe and all of its dead end goals, than you are to just remake yourself start over and think for yourself and begin to make a life for yourself. where empty promises don’t exist. where there is just you and like minded people who work together to help each other overcome the difficulties of life. That is America. Made fragile on pupose from people like the Jesus from chicago who will look you in the eye and tell you lies to make sure you remain angry and impotent …a vicious cycle.
Obama is probably the most dangerous man who has ever lived in this country. I refuse to call him a citizen. I refuse to consider him a President. He said these things and made the false promises for a specific reason: to keep people gnashing their teeth at each other. And it worked. My prediction is that his undoing will come from the hands of someone who had previously been a Koolaid drinking progressive…a white woman, educated, and probably well to do. It would be the ultimate tragic comedy that is his life.
God Bless America
The DemonRats have never done a damn thing good for black folks, yet blacks blindly keep voting for them. Wake up black community, Democrats aren’t your friends.
It’s good that Barry is just a remnant of the past. He’s trying hard, tho.
What part of not using race as a discrimination factor in government related activities, like elections, doesn’t compute for morons like Kagan?
They are leftist revolutionaries. Nothing matters except the revolution.
Which is the exact reason they should be removed immediately.
Lately we are sure seeing a plethora of appearances and tweets from the marxist left’s half black savior. He must be worried.
He just won’t go away. That’s why I’m hoping that this newly active DOJ finds within itself the stones to put him away, for a long time.
So the number one question of the day, IMHO, is if the three harpies delayed long enough to prevent States from rectifying their districts prior to the upcoming election?
If the Democrats could actually lose 20 seats in November, it will be significantly harder for the Rinos to turn the house over to them in the fall, which we all know they are dying to do!
In states that have already had primaries, redistricting effective this election will be all but impossible.
They can redistrict for the general.
There’s still a 10-19 potential seat flip with what is till available out there so this is definitely worth the sweat.
Seems like election interference to me.
Finally high court comes with true justice rather than disguised politics. Truth wins one for the KIng.
This ruling by the Supreme Court is progress toward a colorblind society with equal protection under the law. It should also be interpreted to prohibit the Federal Government from asking people their race. Every federal form asks for race. People hate having to answer the question to be able to interact with their government. There should be no registration by race.
The current congressional map has been found unconstitutional by U.S. Supreme Court.
The plaintiffs should seek to enjoin the ongoing election process so that a lawful map can be implemented, rather than being required to vote under a map that has been determined to be a racial gerrymander.
I believe that the timing of the Court’s opinion effectively forces the upcoming election to proceed under the existing map, raising concerns about whether the Democrat Justices delay the availability of a constitutional remedy before voting occurs.
Election interference.
SCOTUS says no, commie.
“The leftist/activist justices (Kagan, Sotomayor and the DEI Justice Brown-Jackson), had intentionally been slow-walking their dissent opinion
[…]to stop ‘Republican’ states from using the majority ruling for redistricting purposes prior to this year’s midterm federal election.”
If Republicans on any court were guilty of this sort of radical activism, the nationwide Dem screams for their impeachment would be deafening.
But we will have to settle with this dishonorable tactic being yet another example for posterity of what the Democrats really are.

It might have embarrassed them enough to agree to publication today, although I am assuming that those three are capable of feeling shame.
Or lit a fire under the Chief to force the issue?
Possible. He thinks he can keep the Court of of politics (his apparent rationale for the tax/not a tax Obamacare ruling). The closer to the election, the more the effect the Court’s opinion would have had.
SCOTUS ruling could shift up to 19 House seats from blue into red corner
I. Justice Thomas: “Today’s decision should largely put an end to this “disastrous misadventure” in voting-rights jurisprudence.”
He nailed it in his short concurring opinion (pp 43-44), joined by Justice Gorsuch [1]:
II. Changing Colors
A joint report (10/8/25) from Fair Fight Action (Stacey Abrams) and Black Voters Matter (LaTosha Brown and Cliff Albright) estimated that an overhaul of the VRA could swing an estimated 19 Democratic-held House districts in favor of Republican candidates. [2] If the processes are quick enough to influence results of 2026 midterms has to be seen.

Might be a good time to note the zero sum effect; e.g., a 19 seat flip is a 38 seat margin increase.
Perfect!
Yes let it be Lord let it be!
Racially Gerrymandered districts were the last remnant of “Separate but Equal” as allowable. Not anymore.
The idea that a black citizen has to have a black representative or they are being disenfranchised is in and of itself racist.
Elena “Fred Flinstone” Kagan, Sonia “Wise Latina” Sotonayor, Ketanji The Remedial Law Student, and Barack The Flamboyant Kenyan Muslim can all go suck an egg.
Each one of those cretins is a low IQ Marxist Revolutionary. They are mad that the revolution is sputtering. President Trump and the MAGA movement are winning.
Even with all of the turmoil, this is a glorious time to be alive. Almighty God is working in magnificent ways to save our constitutional republic.
Pray continually and God will bless us!
Amen, brother.
Amen!
A great day for Christians indeed, of all types and kinds.
God Bless America
Sotomayor surely peed her underwear. The pee was very sweet because she is a diabetic.
Kagan contorted her face in anger which made her look uglier than she already is.
Brown Jackson’s face turned purple and she tore up her pack of race cards.
Trump has been tearing it up lately. The leftists really hate this cartoon.
When Obama says “such setbacks can be overcome”, he is referring to the strategies laid out by some of his former and current advisors for the Democrats to get back control of both houses of Congress and the White House so that they can pack the Supreme Court.
For them, it is about political power and has nothing to do with race. They are going to make this decision the only thing (other than bad-man orange) that minorities and their AWFL activists hear about until the mid-term elections. And if that doesn’t do the trick, they will throw in a healthy dose of election and voter fraud. It will be all-out warfare from now until November. Of course, that is what it already is, even if many GOPe types like Thune don’t want to know about it.
Obama can do nothing without the help of the Uniparty Republicans in Congress.
Exactly. When Thune refuses to do anything to pass the SAVE America Act, denigrating the grassroots campaign to get it passed as being nothing but “propaganda by paid influencers’, then he might as well be one of Obama’s Democrats himself.
I believe based on all my not pretending not to notice things that election fraud in the races that matter are pre-determined now and it is the Republicans and Democrats (UniParty) jointly who deliberate and decide in backrooms whose turn it is and who gets installed. The effects of the “New Normal” election fraud that started in large scale during the Fake Pandemic (manufactured to unseat Trump) and solidify the election fraud going forward is their Bread & Butter now. It ensures grassroots MAGA does not get in and much worse.
In the last national election that Trump won, it literally was too damn big to rig without making it too obvious. This is not a problem in other races.
Oh.
Are we doomed again?
I think this makes the eleventy-seventh time we’ve been doomed this year.
It’s hard to keep track anymore.

I live in Louisiana, by the by.
Reading between the lines, Barry was signaling his brain-dead minions to vote early, often, and especially if they’re no longer alive.
Absolutely. I was shocked to find out that my parents are voting Democrat now.
They NEVER did that when they were alive!
Now if the Supreme Court rules correctly in Watson vs. Republican National Committee, that election day means votes must be received and counted on election day, this will neuter the mail in voting of counting until desired outcome is reached. The Supreme Court doing, piece by piece case by case, what the Senate will not do in passing the Save America Act.
It’s Election Month not Election Day in California. In other words, the ballot collection and counting doesn’t stop until the Democrat is ahead. Then it instantly stops! 🤔
Multiethnic and even more so multiracial democracy is just tribal raiding parties formalized with paperwork and in slow motion. There isn’t a shred of legitimacy left in the broken bleeding corpse that used to be called ‘America’.
Now, shut down birthright citizenship and the Haitian TPS crap! 🤔
Didn’t Congress just vote to extend the Haitian thing for three years? If so, how can that be reversed?
Now do Illinois. Ya wanna see a snake😖?
Good.
“ Race should not be a consideration in the drawing of district boundaries.”
Unless it benefits the democrat party, of course.
Great news! If Obummer is against it, I’m 100% for it.
This evening I will raise my glass to the SCOTUS majority, and give thanks to God for another win.
Again, obummer is a has-been. Shut up already. I think he is the one that wants to be a king.
I would love to see O-Bas-Turd behind bars. And that is going easy about it.
The leftist/activist justices (Kagan, Sotomayor and the DEI Justice Brown-Jackson), had intentionally been slow-walking their dissent opinion in order to delay the release of the high court ruling released today. The delay tactic was intended to stop ‘Republican’ states from using the majority ruling for redistricting purposes prior to this year’s midterm federal election.
Well, isn’t that political of you……….
So what I’m reading is that it’s okay to gerrymander based on political party, right?
Like Massachusetts, where there are nine democrat Congressional representatives and zero republican even though 25% of the voters are Republican.
Or California where democrat voters versus Republican is 45% to 25%, the rest independent, but Congressional representatives number 43 versus 9; whereas if seats were distributed based on political party, there would be 25 democrat, 13 republican, and 16 independent.
Perfectly legal to gerrymander based on political affiliation, huh?
This seems unfair.
Yes, the states can gerrymander on a political affiliation basis, according to SCOTUS.
Rucho v. Common Cause (2019).
Yes you are correct on all points. In essence if you live in a state where the state legislatures/assemblies contain supermajorities then they can essentially gerrymander the crap out of their state as long as it conforms to their states constitution & the map was drawn using political intent.
And yes does seem unfair unless you live in a state that aligns with your political ideology….God Bless the Lone Star State!
Thank you.
This decision is potentially more far reaching than just the South.
It may impact many urban areas throughout the northeast and rust belt. Traditional Democrat strongholds.
