Virginia Supreme Court Rules on New Congressional Map

Originally posted by: Kevin Lewis

The Texas redistricting was EXTREMELY based on race. SCOTUS is nothing more than a MAGA appendage.


  And the hypocrites continue to cry as Republicans do what the DemocRATs have done for years. As usual, PJ is s wrong - come November the Republicans will pick up seats in both the House and Senate. Americans have had enough of the obstruction, government shutting down, corrupt DemocRATs. MAGA!

They didn't overturn the Act. They followed it by saying you can't redistrict based on race. 

The Constitution says the same thing. 


So then the number of Congressional Districts with a black Repreentative should line up with their perecentage in the states population, right?   

 

There are no black Representatives in Tom's new non-racist Congressional map in Tennessee

 Here we are again with the race baiting "racist" claim by a lying, lunatic liberal.

Under pj logic there should only be 2 blacks per NBA team, 2 Hispanics, 1 Asian & 1 Jew

If NBA players were chosen as representatives of their populations instead of skill then - yes.

 

I dont have to explain the logic of the Voting Rights Act anymore than Roe Wade - both of which stood through 50+ years of precedent in our hostory.     This hijacked Supreme Court will be probably be more maligned by history than the president who put three of them in place.   And thats saying something.

It is very clear. 

The VRA says no discrimination based on race.  It cuts both ways. 

Elections should be based on voting for the best candidate not a DEI candidate

What alternate universe do you live in?    Elections arent decided by a skills test.  If they were dipshits like Lauren Boebert wouldnt be in office.       People are elected on a platform that represents the people of their geographic area.      A fairly designed map would put representatives in the same ratio as their people.    

 

There's a reason why the popular vote and electoral vote is different.   When you gerrymander it makes it even worse.   But thats the only way Republicans think they can win.    Unfortunately for them they fried everything so bad just in one year that even the new maps wont save them.

Yeah, it just will mean less of a massacre. The Dems are running on the issue they should (finally!): this will be a referendum on Trump.

 

They just need to say: are you better off than you were at the end of 2024, or worse? And if it's worse, it's Trump's fault, AND the fault of his lapdog House enablers who have allowed him time and time again to ignore the Constitution and do stupid and illegal things. Vote Republican if you want more of the same shit.

 

It wasn't enough that Trump is a pedo, rapist, murderer, multiple felon, crook, con man, thief, and complete asshole whose brain is turning to cottage cheese. But he's fucked everybody over financially, and we know the American electorate never tolerates that.

No, stupid Tommy, elections should be based on the candidate who gets the most votes winning. Not necessarily the "best" candidate, because who decides what "best" means?

 

I know you're drowning in race hatred, but you might try to break the surface in order to think clearly.
