Of course they did. Now let’s see their rationale for overturning Californias.
Does it even fucking matter at this point? There will be zero repercussions for the blatant disregard for the law to serve the authoritarian regime so they can say whatever they want
Yeah, for real. Let’s hope the Majestic Imperious High Court deigns to grace us with any explanation. They love their emergency docket…
It’s too close to the election to not do it
Here’s the fun part. They’ll use the shadow docket and won’t give any rationale.
Crime is legal.
Exactly as expected. Next they’ll find that California’s redistricting is unconstitutional.
I obviously disagree with this ruling, but if they were to rule the opposite on California, the absolute sheer corruptness would be undeniable. And worthily of drastic and dramatic action on our (the citizens) part.
Citizens wouldn’t even vote in their own interest, and now it’s too late. I’m convinced tens of millions of Americans will die quietly before even one stands up.
I agree.
Their sheer corruptness is already undeniable. The six right wing hacks regularly make decisions that are blatantly and obviously unconstitutional and write nonsense opinions to justify them. They openly accept huge bribes from those impacted by their decisions and then rule in their favor. If the GOP gave a damn about the rule of law and the Constitution they would have been impeached long ago.
I’m here for the dramatic action.
The corruption is already undeniable.
Okay but then it’ll be double plus undeniable. People will definitely do something in response. You’ll see.
In a brief order, the conservative majority argued, among other things, that the District Court had intervened to block the maps too close to next year’s midterm election.
Eleven months away is too close to the next election for these clowns.
Texas passed their new maps on August 29th. On November 18 the district court ordered them to revert to their previous maps.
Apparently the SC’s Republican cult members think this will be too difficult for Texas?
They’ve already gutted the VRA. This is reaffirming the decision.
The decision has nothing to do with their stated reasons; they are in favor of racism, but don’t want to say so
It’s obvious bullshit. If anything that logic would uphold the stay.
Same bullshit that Mitch McConnell claimed why Obama couldn’t appoint a Supreme Court justice fuck this illegmeaite Supreme Court.
And then did a speed run to install a Supreme Court Justice like 45 days before an election under Trump.
The mask is off.
But wouldn’t the opposite be true? Changing the maps too close to the election is a problem. “Keeping them the same too close to the election” makes no sense.
No no, dont even give it that much dignity. The complainants are not asking to “block the map” too close (11 months) to elections. They are asking that the map not be illicit, unethically changed 5 years early, based off the explicit public request of the President who is not meant to have power over state election matters, with the explicitly stated intent of gerrymandering out more seats for Republicans that they “deserve” than they otherwise would have won, only 15ish months to the elections (which is apparently plenty of time). Their “reasoning” doesn’t make sense because it’s not reasoning. It’s blatant full chested support of voter suppression/disenfranchisement to bolster their party and their autocratic President. They’re so full of shit you could smell them talking from the next room over. Fuck those lying, cheating, corrupt, un-American, fascist cunts.
Dont forget 9 months is too close to an election to approve a supreme court justice nomination, unless the president is Republican and then less than a month is plenty of time
Election was already underway. There were already absentee balls cast ousting him from office when they approved his nomination
The Supreme Kangaroo Court of the United States strikes again. It’s kind of amazing that out of 9 justices we have 2 avowed rapists, not to mention several christian nationalists.
I 100% blame the Democratic party for this. They’ve been assisting the Republicans in their efforts to create this court for the last 40 years. Thomas should never have been confirmed to the court and Ruth Bader Ginsberg hung on at a time when she should have left while the “liberal” dems controlled both the presidency and the Senate and could easily have replaced her with a(n at least mostly) liberal justice.
I would still place some blame on Republicans for insisting on nominating sexual offenders, corrupt pieces of shit, etc. Yes the Dems should have done more to stop them, but i think the GOP should bear some responsibility for being sociopaths
Every day MAGA trash feels safe leaving their homes is a day the rest of you show your cowardice, America
Fascinating stuff! It’s like russia with extra steps and a gigantic amount of comical ostentatious posturing about freedoms and liberty.
Americans do love their theatrics!
Political maneuver literally named after a US politician
“Wow, this is just like Foreignistan!”
Everything is shitty and terrible and we’re not even a year in. :(
It’s so long past the point that Americans should have begun shooting these traitors, they’re just gonna fucking let the fascism happen and tweet about it at this point.
We should start calling it Robertsmander rather than Gerrymander from now on. If having no shame while he’s living has no effect, then the best he deserves is his name being tarnished and synonymous with corruption for hundreds of years.
They are Robertsmadering
It’s heavily Robertsmandered
They want to Robertsmander everything
Saying this in my head makes my head and my jaw hurt for some reason. I think I’ll just stick with gerrymander.
When mom says no, just ask dad.
Feels like we need to have a Get the Fuck Out protest.
That’s very cute of you, however, fascism is there to stay.
Is it supper time yet?
Agreed! It’s MUCH too Close to an Election to Make Changes!
-The Supreme Court Justice who was appointed AFTER people ALREADY Voted!
The way that special election in Tennessee went, instead of picking up five seats, they’re liable to only be left with five seats (after all, you can’t grab more districts without weakening your hold on others).
Hubris leading to a failure, not unlikely outcome.
