An organization of judges from the 50 states has told the U.S. Supreme Court that its members want to have a say in redistricting maps that are assembled when state populations change, or shift, and representatives are allocated to the people.
The Washington Examiner reports that the Conference of Chief Justices, the top judges in all of the states, filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the pending case from North Carolina.
That case charges that it is the state legislatures, not courts, that have the final say over congressional district lines.
The judges argue that's not right, that they should be the decision-makers.

Good thing that Traitor Roberts still likely warrants that Judges are not political.
partisans is the correct word.
Leaving the people in charge is a threat to democracy.

Amicus briefs are for show. Very rarely influential - they are meant to generate press.
“An organization of judges”
Sounds like a subversive group if there ever was one.
Ask why?
Since the passage of the 17th Amendment, the Judiciary has been less than optimal, being polite.. with the Senate being controlled by lobbyists and the parties, the Judiciary is a reflection of this malignant circumstance. Our Founding Father’s were not stupid.
It is time to repeal the 17th Amendment, put the check and balance back on the Federal Govt, and get a better Federal Judiciary over time.
The judicial branch thinks the constitution is a roadblock to power consolidation
Agreed. They are far exceeding their mandate/Constitutional limits.
I'm doing a riff off Solzhenitsyn's "How we burned in the camps...:
Instead of state Security operatives, I'm substituting state Legal operatives.
Just as thuggish, without the guns.
Judges need a dictionary because they can’t define “woman” or “autocratic”.
All Obama appointees?
Evil should be construed as Satanic.
If cognitive Americans have not yet determined we are under Satanic attacks, we ARE screwed and "they" have accomplished their aim to assist in destroying God's most recent creation, The (Christian based) united States of America
I'm on board.

When the ruling class talks about protecting “our democracy”, they don’t mean *your* democracy, they mean *their* democracy, which is to say their power.
The judges argue that’s not right, that they should be the decision-makers.>>> If that is what you believe then amend your state constitution. As we can see, lawless, corrupt judges are the problem.
“The judges argue that’s not right, that they should be the decision-makers.”
Then the judges can lobby to pass a constitutional amendment to that effect.

So you’re telling me God didn’t create Nutella? Have you tasted the stuff???
