WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed California to use a new voter-approved congressional map that is favorable to Democrats in this year’s elections, rejecting a last-ditch plea from state Republicans and the Trump administration.
No justices dissented from the brief order denying the appeal without explanation, which is common on the court’s emergency docket.
Gerrymandering is legal in America already you just can’t do it by race
The Supreme Court confirmed Texas and California didn’t do it by race it has nothing to do with whether or not other red states can gerrymander
You could always gerrymander you just can’t do it by race
Exactly, and the Supreme Court could have stopped that in its decision, but it didn’t, because it served the conservative party’s ends.
Stopped it how?
There’s no constitutional or federal law against gerrymandering except you can’t do it by race…
States have to make gerrymandering illegal at the state level which many have otherwise it’s only illegal if you gerrymandered by race
If you think the Supreme Court needs a specific law to rule on something, you’ve sadly ignored much history of Supreme Court decisions. A large percentage of their work is handwavey opinions based on biased interpretations of obscure and irrelevant documents.
Yes, it’s supposed to work the way you described it, but it hasn’t for some time now.
Ok but we don’t like the Supreme Court decisions that are made up and not based in law or logic
They also obviously couldn’t have given who sits on it
What you’re really asking for is a united progressive Democratic Party that passes actual legislation ensuring fair elections
