The application for a stay or injunctive relief presented to JUSTICE THOMAS and by him referred to the Court in No. 21A375 is treated as a jurisdictional statement, and probable jurisdiction is noted. The application for a stay or injunctive relief presented to JUSTICE THOMAS and by him referred to the Court in No. 21A376 is treated as a petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment. Respondents in No. 21A376 do not oppose treating the application as a petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment and do not oppose granting the petition (although they do oppose granting a stay). With that fact taken into account, the petition is granted. The district court’s January 24, 2022 preliminary injunctions in No. 2:21–cv–1530 and No. 2:21–cv–1536 are stayed pending further order of the Court
Big deal for Louisiana and Mississippi, where the Democrats were trying to force a similar change.
God bless Justice Thomas. The best outcome from the Bush 1 Administration.
Thomas didn’t decide this alone.
Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh and Alito joined him.
In related news, Alabama Republicans agreed to redraw some of the districts as an olive branch to Democrats, even though Justice Thomas made it unnecessary.
(Well, I hope that doesm’t happen.)
Could someone well-versed in Legalese please distill the final decision out of this case?
Once again, Justice Thomas didn’t decide this alone.
Did roberts side with the libs?
No Roberts, huh? How does that not surprise me?
For every victory we have in a small state like Alabama we have huge defeats in large Rat Party cesspools like Kalifornia,New York and Illinois. Watch for *those* states to have districts drawn in such a way where not a single Republican wins a seat.
Yep, figures
All of those rat state cases would still bubble up to SCOTUS.
Ping to the state list!
Gorsuch wrote an opinion explaining his views. Needless to say our belove CJ Roberts dissented, bless his little heart.
Yes Roberts, again, saw that justice lay on the side of the libs.
I think it was an accident, but a very happy one.
Is there any way this also could influence the NC Supreme Court tossing out the NC redistricting?
Montgomery has always been Congressionally district-partitioned into the overall countryside making the representation of the various districts more a demographic relief of the population: 70% white and 26% black.
Birmingham has a huge geographical 7th district that covers an entire segment of the state only and is barely black majority, while serviced by a black Congressman, Ms. Terri Seawell, democrat.
They wanted to do the same in Montgomery. Add a huge swarth of improvised Montgomery into my 2nd Congressional district, kick out my county (which is like a turtle sitting on a log, map wise), and by doing so, make a second seat for a black democrat, thus eliminating a GOP seat.
The thing is, the GOP controls the whole state, politically (no more than democrats control Massachusetts or New York or California) but the suing democrats want to make Alabama's control look like a movie named The KKK II: The Alabama Boogaloo. "Obviously (wink, wink), we must use the courts against these racists to make them add democrats."
olive branch sucks rocks
No.
