In the last two weeks, SCOTUS ordered Alabama to flip one more seat to democrats and today they ordered Louisiana to flip one more seat to democrats to make it fair.

+2 Dem, -2 GOP and election isn't until next year.

Tell the Supreme Court to pound sand. What’s their enforcement mechanism?

Maybe. I’m not familiar with the districting in those states at all, so I’m just speculating, but the math to me says that if you concentrate D votes into 2 of them instead of just one, the remaining districts will be more strongly R. In other words, less close races to flip.

Its not that simple. Red States will respond by shoving essentially every Black voter into one or two Black Majority districts. Since Blacks vote almost monolithically for Democrats, this then gives them one or two districts but makes a lot of other districts uncompetitive....ie ensuring Republicans in those other districts.

Carving out these districts does not magically create more Democrat voters. It just concentrates them more.

Isn’t it time for this crap to go away? The “legacy of slavery” and Jim Crow in the South disappeared when Republicans started dominating Southern politics. It was Democrats who suppressed black votes in the South. That legacy has been cleaned up.

The new order from the justices noted that their latest move “will allow the matter to proceed before the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit for review in the ordinary course and in advance of the 2024 congressional elections in Louisiana.”

This is the reason.

I’m so glad we have a 6-3 majority in the Supremes.

But...

the people are speaking and taking matters into their own hands (and feet)....

when they decide to move away from the blue states and turn red aread redder, and giving those red areas more red districts and more electoral college votes.

Plus, let’s not forget that blacks are no longer voting exclusively for democrats, And let’s also not forget that Hispanics are also moving away from the democrat party.

Olse some, win some and more.

2020 Census, Louisiana Race and ethnicity (White alone 61.6%; Black alone 12.4%; Hispanic 18.7%).

🧐 Shouldn’t the Hispanics get one first?

The SCOTUS idea of constitutional left the actual Constitution behind years ago.

So let it be written, so let it be done. Shaboom!

The Supreme Tribunal has spoken.

I think less of the supreme court every single day.

And here I thought the constitution stated plainly state legislatures were in charge of federal election? Wonder if SCOTUS knows that, or needs to hear 10th amendment?

Allegations against Thomas and Alito come out and the ‘conservative majority’ on the court appears to start voting in near lockstep with the liberal minority—what dirt does the democRATs and their operatives in the deep state have on the others?

This is one area that needs a new solution. We need a better way or approach to assigning districts that removes the bias and gerrymandering which satisfies everyone. Yep, and world peace while we are at it.
