Just when the GOP is getting ready to punch out the gerrymandering advantage of the demwits, Louisiana decides to throw a monkey into the ring.

If this is not overturned, what prevents a government entity to draw even more lines to make sure we have the "proper number of women, asians, latino or any other type of representation?

SCOTUS may have to do what is right, finally, and overturn it.

To me, how can you draw a district to reflect a particular party? That is unconscionably unconstitutional. The dems use the black as an excuse to gerrymander due to the high dem turnout of the black vote.

Hoping SCOTUS will find disparate-impact liability unconstitutional, setting the stage to undermine its use in employment and housing liability.

It’s time.

the supreme court needs to throw out the one person one vote principle that a former supreme court just made up that prevents states from drawing districts with vastly unequal populations.

Louisiana jumped through Hoops to avoid the disaster last year.

The Fifth circuit gave them just into the new session to draw the maps !

Edwards did nothing on the way out the door.

Landry had to call a special session, get the legislature to agree in short order, to avoid the route.

Other wise the case was going back to Judge Dick(tator).

Dick(tator) had already ruled that the state had violated the VRA (they had not), so the case was just going to be the Dick(tator) drawing New Democrat friendly districts !

SCOTUS is going to overturn that provision of the VRA. It was always unconstitutional to require racial gerrymandering. The courts have just ignored that up to now.

The coming redistricting in numerous red states is going to cost the Democrats several seats in the House. Finally Republicans will be able to gerrymander just as hard as the Democrats have done in blue states.
