Have they ruled on the Census question yet?
Not looking good if they got all that other stuff wrong.
Finally caught up with the thread, now I’m off to lunch and taking friend to the foot doctor.
Back in a few......
On Monday, the United States Supreme Court ruled to uphold a lower court ruling striking down Virginia’s 2011 House of Delegates map as racially gerrymandered.
The justices, in a 5-4 decision, sidestepped a ruling on the merits of the case, found that the Republican-led state House of Delegates lacked the necessary legal standing to appeal the ruling.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the majority opinion, with Justices Clarence Thomas, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena
Kagan, and Neil Gorsuch concurring.
The justices, in a 5-4 decision, sidestepped a ruling on the merits of the case itself, not taking a position on whether the lower court was correct in striking down a 2011 Virginia House of Delegates map on the grounds that it constituted a racial gerrymander.
They instead found that the Republican-led state House of Delegates lacked the necessary legal standing to appeal a lower court ruling that invalidated 11 state House districts for racial discrimination.
Census decision coming up. I have to agree with RBG and Gorsich on the double jeopardy ruling.
It seems as though the federal government only recognizes a State sovereignty if it suits them.
