What’s the likelihood they’ll prevail?

I remember hearing that elections are a state-level concern, and the federal government plays no role at all.

Except, of course, when the federal government decides it wants to exert control. Then it’s OK.

How are they getting involved in state redistricting? Are they going to look at any of the ‘rat gerrymandering?

SCOTUS did not get involved with PA because it was left to the state. This Biden administration does not care. Texas should state F-U because MD, MA etc are far worse.

How could my 18-year-old know more about the Constitution than Merrick Garland?

I wonder, has the current DOJ bothered to sue any blue state redistricting ?

Once again the LawFare department of the Communist Party is trying to prevent legitimate redistricting House seats losses.

Be assured that blue states will never be sued for the same.

But what if the new districts elect black or hispanic republicans??

Ya see, their whole premise is that blacks and latinos will vote only for democrats.

So they LOVE gerrymandering them into their own districts.

BUT what if the cities, etc. are split and blacks and latinos are still elected,but are republicans.

Isn’t that ok? Hmmmmm?

Or is it only fair if black or latino democrats are elected.

I think we know the answer.

Except the Biden federal government is NOT exerting any control and the federal government has kept losing in court after court on the vaccine mandates as they will on this case too.

Once again..... the DOJ acts as the action arm of the DNC.

If “this” presents a case we can point to dozens of cases where democrats have tried and/or succeeded in redistricting out a republicrat they did not like.

Another outrage.

And the Supreme Court just ruled on this very issue, last year I think, fairly recently either way, They gave the STATES ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY TO REDISTRICT AS THEY SEE FIT!, so the US Attorney that Filed this suit should be HELD IN CONTEMPT and then DISBARRED
