The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated the liability order in Mississippi’s state Supreme Court judicial redistricting case.
The move comes after the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais where the nation’s highest court struck down Louisiana’s congressional redistricting that added a new majority-minority district, saying that lawmakers relied too heavily on race.
The high court’s 6-3 ruling deemed racial gerrymandering unconstitutional as it had been practiced under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
Section 2 was being used as the justification for U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock’s order that mandated the redrawing of Mississippi’s Supreme Court district lines set in 1987 to accommodate greater black voting strength. The case has now been remanded back to Aycock’s court.
Governor Tate Reeves (R) shared the Fifth Circuit’s action on Monday, saying, “Post Callais, both the plaintiffs and the State jointly requested this action.”
Reeves called it “a good day for those who believe in the principle that all Americans are created equal. A good day for law and order. A good day for Mississippi!”
The governor said in late April that he would call lawmakers into a special session 21 days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Callais to address state Supreme Court redistricting. That timeline would see lawmakers back in Jackson next week.

King Hakeem Potatohead just had a meltdown. ROTFL!
Get ready for legal challenges in blue states over their race-based districts.
NEW ENGLAND
“We DEMAND to continue drawing voting districts based on the color of our skin!”
King Hakeem Potatohead just had a meltdown. ROTFL!
If he wasn’t so ignorant, and if some people didn’t pretend he is intelligent, King Hakeem would be amusing.
The left cannot fathom the concept of ‘colorblind’. It’s not in their DNA.
Yes. And the Indiana State Senate elections should get an honorable mention.
Its a Supreme Court ruling.
The only way states can go around it is to pass another law defining how districts are dawn.
Similar to defining a banned weapon by its pistol grip.
Hopefully the democrats will need to move to the center to get elected which will allow the GOP to move to the right as well.
....remind them of the Republican congressional votes ALL of New England has stolen from us. VT, ME, NY, MA, CN, RI....for decades.
Up your ass.
Hakeem Jeffries uncle is Leonard Jeffries.

I had every expectation that the GOP would lose the House in November. This might just save the House for the GOP despite the party’s incompetence at election time.
The democrats and their Slave Districts
And here's the thing. It doesn't remove black people's rights. It removes DEMOCRAT rights.
I'll bet we'll start to see a slate of black conservatives running as Republicans against the godless communists posing as democrats.
The rats have to become Americans now.
Im not sure it wouldve made a difference. The left is a dumpster fire. They have offered nothing. They defend for the worst policies and triple down on them when a microphone is shoved in their faces… many of them being 80-20 issues. The progressive left continues to alienate its from its own voters. I was pretty confident about November , now it seems like a lock.
Thinking the same thing. Instead of a District, it’s a Plantation.
The left has angry voters this time. That always bodes well for them. They also have voter fraud in place most everywhere. We’ve done little to correct the nonsense from 2024 that took place with the various voting systems.
I wouldn’t expect much to change in New England. Are there any Republican strongholds that are being divided up?
It seems to me that compact districts will always have the GOP as a minority in New England unless specific districts are carefully carved out, which is exactly what we don’t want.
