If we made it illegal to count illegal aliens blue states would stop welcoming illegal aliens because they wouldn’t get as much money from the federal government. Counting illegal aliens gives them more money.

If they would peg representatives to say 1 every 200,000 in large part this problem would go away. The issue is that the number of reps is limited to 425.

My cynicism tells me they will rule 8-1 in favor of redistricting by race and the 1 holdout will be Clarence Thomas.

They’re ‘entitled’.

It’s the visuals. Then there’s the way they all vote in lock step-not good. The GOP could do its part by nominating more than a couple here and there. That way they could be diverse as diversity is a strength.

This sounds like an “opinion” about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

Oh gee, like there’s nothing more important than that to rule on right now?

Roberts sucks!

I expect nothing good from the USSC anymore. They are too infiltrated.

SCOTUS has already decided on the issue of population census that the government should count ALL people, regardless their citizenship.

They drew a snake-like district that runs about 250 miles from Baton Rouge to Shreveport, connecting the two cities that have majority black populations. It is illogical, stupid, racist, and cowardly. Republicans did that when they were not required to do it.

The easiest solution is to eliminate House districts entirely. If Louisiana has six representatives in the House, then hold one House election every two years. The top six finishers go to Washington.

I think most states operated this way in the early years of the nation.

They are useless and trust in USSC has totally collapsed! Roberts and Amy TDS has seen to that. The once powerful aura radiating from the SC has left the building and Roberts along with Barrett made it worse.

I am a victim of redistricting. A federal judge ruled that I must be represented by a black, low IQ, liberal, corrupt democrat. It burns me up. I live literally 100 yards from the highway that divides the districts. I have no representation. This guy does not care one iota about what I think. Any thought he has beyond how he can get rich is for the low IQ blacks who elected him.

Race cannot be used in redristicting. Unless it is used to give Blacks.

The whole brouhaha here as in Alabama is not that the Republican legislators are discriminating against blacks but gerrymandering in favor of Republicans.

This is revealing how "civil rights" court precedents are really there to ensure more Democrats in the House, not to avoid discrimination.
