The US Supreme Court on Monday approved an emergency appeal from a Republican congresswoman in New York who asked the justices to block a state court ruling that ordered her Staten Island-based district to be redrawn ahead of the midterm election.
The high court’s three liberal justices dissented from the decision.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis and state GOP election officials had urged the Supreme Court to allow New York’s current map to be used, an outcome that will benefit Republicans in the midterm amid a flurry of mid-decade redistricting in other parts of the country.

LOL!
Well, that CD won’t be redrawn before the election.
Opa! (Malliotakis is one of three Greek congresscritters I know of, including Bilirakis and Haridopoulos.)
Justice Alito recognized what they were doing. Obvious racial redistricting.
“JUSTICE ALITO, concurring in grant of stay.
These cases concern a state-court order that blatantly discriminates on the basis of race. The New York Supreme Court (that State’s trial-level court) ordered the New York Independent Redistricting Commission to draw a new congressional district for the express purpose of ensuring that “minority voters” are able to elect the candidate of their choice. 1 App. to Emergency Application for Stay 15a.”
I know my mind is not what it used to be, but I must be missing something here. One of the established displays of voting in the country even has a name and that is lockstep. Lockstep is defined as:
“in complete agreement with someone or something”
by Cambridge Dictionary.
So if a liberal democrat is in agreement with someone and they choose not to vote democrat, then that’s what our voting system is designed to do as they may be in agreement with their surroundings and not their party. So the fear attached to the redistricting is not to cover the issues, but protecting of the blind voting based upon party. And if they were going to vote with their party’s choices, then where they live has no bearing on that decision.
So is redistricting going to change the way a person votes? If they were an informed and conscious person...no. Now if they were a sheep and voted not in the best interest of themselves and their neighbors but for the party they chose, then they might, and that’s a stretch, be coerced into a altered vote. But that’s saying they shouldn’t vote because they are not bearing intelligent in their choices in their best interest. So everything about complaining about the redistricting this way is dishonest as it should be done in the best interest of the process, a democratic procedure designed to improve and move forward.

If NY remains a blue Hell in the midterms I won’t be too surprised, but every little bit helps.
Also today in SCOTUS news:
Supreme Court GRANTS emergency appeal from religious parents seeking school disclosures about their children’s gender identity.
The case is Elizabeth Mirabelli, et al., Applicants
v. Rob Bonta, Attorney General of California, et al.
She was my Congresswoman when I lived in NY. She is a great person - made a few bad votes but they were all showbiz none that tipped a battle to the rodents.
The potential rodent replacement is a defund the police swine.
Yes, and then called out the Appellate Court and Court of Appeals for effectively denying any opportunity for the matter to be adjudicated prior to the election.
Thanks.
