BREAKING: SCOTUS denies Democrats redistricting balderdash

A huge win for the GOP has come from the Supreme Court in which they ruled to halt a lower court order in Alabama that it must redraw its previously passed Congressional map that would have given Democrats an eternal advantage in the polls.

The vote was 5-4, with Justice Roberts joining the left as he typically does, in dissent. SCOTUS now has halted the lower court order that required Alabama to redraw its congressional map, which diluted Black voters in violation of the Voting Rights Act. This is just one example of how scummy the left is in their quest for power.

The SCOTUS stay is obviously a huge win for Republicans and a blow to a coalition of Dems/civil rights groups seeking an additional Black opportunity seat in AL (and LA/SC). The 6R-1D GOP map will stand for 2022, and possibly longer.

The Democrats never thought the Alabama map would be challenged on the grounds of the Voting Rights Act. They were always behind the eight ball when it came to stopping the Republican map in Alabama. A full decision is probably going to come next year but it's likely not going to be one that weaponizes the VRA to produce districting maps that stack up in favor of the Democrats while not allowing the GOP to gerrymander.

What that means is that not only did the liberals lose in this specific instance, but they could lose a lot more all across the country in regards to their use of racial quotas for congressional districts once a final decision is delivered. [Doesn't that sound a little like, "I'm going to nominate a woman of color for the Supreme Court?]

Roberts is probably one of the worst Justices ever to sit on the SCOTUS. His only standard seems to be to go along to get along and he has no clear ideology as far as one can tell.

The potential irony of the SCOTUS decision is wonderful to contemplate. 

Activist groups suing Alabama over a 30-year-old district map could potentially destroy the racial gerrymandering grift for the entire country and this nonsense would come to a halt, and that's what seems to be what's going on. Although Roberts punked out, as usual in the decision to lift the order, in his dissent, he noted that he believes the only thing holding it up is that SCOTUS needs to get rid of past bad precedent and he would vote like a constitutionalist.

In other words, Roberts is likely to join a 6-3 majority next year in delivering a decisive blow to Democrat attempts to rig the gerrymandering process [where they can draw 22-4 D to R maps in New York but Republican states cannot do the same].

The SCOTUS doesn't go along with the Democrat's point of view on the VRA and with Alabama in play, the left will pay a bigger price than simply losing a seat in the South. And now you can bet that the GOP in North Carolina as also going to seek relief from the SCOTUS after the decision last week.

 

In summary, this decision sets up the impending death blow for many of the unconstitutional provisions of the VRA that have long given Democrats an unfair way to stack the deck. If gerrymandering is legal, and it absolutely is, then it should be available to both sides equally. 

The games have begun.
