SCOTUS rules to eliminate EVERY black majority district in deep south

There simply is no question that the reason for that legislation was to combat the racism that saw the Constitutional and Federalists principles of 'one man, one vote' and 'voters should choose their legislators and not legislators choosing voters', was needed, again due to racism being weaponized to reduce and minimize PoC voters.

This Supreme Court does NOT deny the initial need for such legislation was real but they then have to put on blinders and PRETEND not to see the IMMEDIATE result of their Decisions, arguing that America has evolved beyond such racism and thus this legislation is no longer needed. They continue down this path tearing down one protection after another even as we ALL see an immediate return to the types of racist maps that prompted the legislation in the first place.

This SC more than COngress and the POTUS and Executive is responsible for why the US is tearing itself apart now with rulings like this, allowing uncapped Oligarch and corporate money in politics, and the extreme gerrymandering, all of which are turning politics into more of a team sport of fanatical sides compared to what America has strived for since it founding.

And if you want to know why, it is because the Right and the prior Republican party was being put to a choice. A choice a hard core part of the party could not abide.

That choice was in seeing that prior Republican party post Obama was on the verge of entering a majoritarian cycle where it looked like they could be the dominant party again in America for a long time but that was being accomplished by broadening the tent to include the increasing Latino and Black vote, mostly moving to them over religious and security beliefs.

That meant embracing the Republican party as it moved to majority minority and the talk was someone like Tim Scott or a Women pushed forth as the Republican Potus candidate could win, drawing in moderates and even some right Dems.

That idea was intolerable to the most racist part of the party and instead they set in motion, via Trump, the Southern Strategy, which racist republicans had wanted tried for decades but which the party ALWAYS SAID, was a scorched earth strategy that if it failed would tear America apart and was seen as too dangerous to play with.

So that is why this SC is ruling as they do as they are all in on ensuring America does not become majority minority ruled and they need to allow for these extreme practices to counter that.

Underneath all the theatrical whining, the complaint is pretty simple: ‘How are we supposed to engineer the outcome if we’re not allowed to engineer the demographics?’ That’s not a defense of democracy. That’s just a temper tantrum over losing one of the cheat codes.

Your ignorance of history is matched only by your goonish ignorance of everything else.

No, Son. It was meant to prevent you criminals from engineering the demographics.

Which you sued to do.

And which the wholly owned subsidiary of the billionaire RWNJs known as "SC(r)OTUS" allowed so they can keep getting their money and perks.

In one fell swoop, they have given Republican legislatures across the Deep South the go-ahead to eliminate every majority black district. As many as 25 congressional seats as well as hundreds of state legislature seats, are now on the chopping block.this key provision removed,


The Voting Rights Act brought about the end of Jim Crow. With this key provision removed, we are one step closer to its return:

Supreme Court voids majority Black congressional district in Louisiana, boosting Republican chances

The Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Louisiana’s second majority Black congressional district in a decision that could open the door for Republican-led states to eliminate Black and Latino electoral districts that tend to favor Democrats and affect the balance of power in Congress.

Jim Crow was a Democrat invention. Republicans were never for Jim Crow. This majority Black voters districts aren't Constitutional. You can't fight racism with racism.The election of Obama as President and Harris as VP proves Americans will vote for Black candidates. Florida is about to get a Black Governor.

Hard to say. There won't be enough to sustain Warnock in statewide races. And the carve outs that substantially over represent blacks in Congress will start collapsing. Georgia is 30% black. But over 60% of their congressional representation is black. That will collapse. That took race based gerrymandering to sustain. I agree that about 30% of their representatives will remain black. democrats will lose the massive over-representation.

Well, that and MTG gone should raise Georgia's congressional delegation's collective IQ by about 50 points... Must be something in the water that makes Georgia politicians absolute idiots. You got MTG and Hank "Guam's going to capsize" Johnson as two shining examples of utter and complete idiots elected to office--and not just once!
