Beat you to it.
Good.
Maybe so, but this post was much more complete.
Wow. This is the biggest victory for federalism that I can think of since before Lincoln.
If a self-governing sovereign state within the mechanism of self-government opts to send a set of people to represent itself to congress, they can!
What a concept!
We should be able to flip at least three seats back.
5-4 vote; Should have been 7-2 or more
I’ll remember to copy/paste like a fool with the next one.
Right decision. The Feds have no Constitutional role in telling the States how to allocate their voting districts. Got a problem with gerrymandering? Pressure your state.
Yay.
You know the Rats would only use any ruling to crush all dissent.
Not a judicial function..... but, of course, the state courts with leftist majorities ROUTINELY interfere with Congressional districting decisions (e.g., Pennsylvania).
Most corruption is done on the sly. Gerrymandering is corruption right out in the open by both parties.
Good news for us in NC. Look for the Dems to ramp up talk of packing the SC, also good news for us. We need to highlight the authoritarian streak that permeates the Dems.
hehehehe!
“5-4 vote; Should have been 7-2 or more”
It will be when Ginsberg croaks and Breyer takes leave. If Trump is re-elected, I look for Kagan to be the only Communist left on the SCOTUS at the end of his second term. Sotomayor’s diabetes will sideline her within that timeframe.

The Supreme Court said that they don’t belong in the middle of this issue. I think that the same logic applies to other courts, “nonpartisan” commissions, the man on the street opinion, and democratic Presidential candidates.
The Constitution leaves this function to the States through their Legislatures. The four Leftie Justices are outraged, they want to exercise their own judgment whenever they don’t agree with the State’s decision. Government by unelected judges.
5-4, with the Court divided along the usual Conservative/Liberal fault lines.
Here, the Liberals wanted the various Federal Courts to grab ultimate power over voting district assignments. Given that the Dems are the most corrupt, and the first to resort to lawfare, the minority position would have given the Dems a permanent advantage, even if the Courts remained strictly non-partisan (a stretch, IMHO) in the review of each claim.
Note this ruling only stops federal courts from imposing a gerrymander. A recent state case had the state Supreme Court draw their own (Demonrat, of course) gerrymander, even though their state’s Constitution gives them no such power. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal.
Being a lefty means a court endorsing the principle of separation of powers is ‘undemocratic.’
