Voters approve gerrymandering the f*ck out of California in favor of Democrats

[Into the Night]

It's amazing we live in a democratic system where a billionaire can spend $30 million like it's chump change to sway an election.

The United States was never a democracy, Cyborg. It is a federated republic.

They don't belong here. They are going back home. The Supreme Court has not directly ruled on the issue of counting undocumented immigrants for apportionment.

You sound just like the racists who hated the Irish potato famine sufferers

Racists just always find excuses to hate people

 

[Into the Night]

Agreed. It's fighting fire with fire.

Congress could fix this but the MAGAt Congress will not.

Both the House and the Senate are Republican majority, Sybil. Not Democrat.

 

[Into the Night]

It continues to amaze me how stupid and unAmerican MAGAts have proven themselves to be. Sad

That you have, Sybil...just like any other Democrat.

 

[Into the Night]

Is that what FOX told you to believe?

YARP

 

[Into the Night]

List some for context please. Were they done to steal elections?

You can't blame Democrat election fraud on Republicans, Sybil.

 

[Into the Night]

People often blame SCOTUS and the United Citizens decision, but the real problem is, as always, Congress.

Consider the Dred Scott decision. Cited as the Court's "great self inflicted wound" by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes. How was it changed? By an act of Congress.

No one is talking about the War of Secession, Sybil.

 

[Into the Night]

He's under orders from Trump to do a mid-decade redistricting. Do you think he'll defy his bloated Messiah?

What makes you think Jesus Christ is fat, Cyborg?

 

[Althea]

That isn't true. Census didn't count "Indians not taxed" when it was first in effect.

LOL. Ok, I'll take your word for it.

 

[Into the Night]

It is not stealing election. Both sides do it because it is legal, they get away it, and they get to blame the other side.

True, but it is DEMOCRATS that steal elections.

 

[Althea]

WTF has that got to do with anything? We're discussing how judges are usurping power from the other branches of government using judicial fiat and how they are acting like dictators, not how they got selected and put on the bench.

WTF are you talking about in this case?

 

[Into the Night]

When they do the math, someone's going to have to tell trump that it's a losing venture. Which he is used to in his life. What remains to be seen is if Red states can out redistrict Blue states.

What 'math'??
You deny mathematics.

 

[Althea]

So? What's that got to do with how judges act and rule from the bench? This judge just usurped the power to set congressional districts and decided on her own what they should be. That's judicial dictatorship. The judge is, to use the popular term on the Left, a fascist.

The judge followed state law and undid an illegally drawn district. The Supreme Court did the opposite, and removed restrictions enacted into law decades ago.

 

[Into the Night]

trump meddled in the Census that year, and ended counting early. Your stats are not accurate. NY was undercounted and lost one seat.

Now New York will lose even more seats, thanks to the disaster of Mandani.

 

[Into the Night]

Stop whining based on what FOX told you.

There are zero Democratic representatives from Oklahoma, even though a sizable minority vote for Democrats.

Not enough, apparently!

Why do you do that, Vincy?

 

[christiefan915]

I seem to recall that Trump only wants to count Americans.

That's not what the Constitution says.

 

[Into the Night]

I seem to recall TRump wanting to exclude certain people from being counted.

Illegal aliens.

 

[Jake Starkey]

Judges are the custodian of the Law, not the Executive.

They tell us, not the President, what it means.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

The judge followed state law and undid an illegally drawn district. The Supreme Court did the opposite, and removed restrictions enacted into law decades ago.

No, the judge decided against the Republican plan, and instead of remitting the issue to the legislature, she took it upon herself to impose an alternate plan on the state. That is judicial dictatorship in action.
