“Although the majority's decision is disappointing, this case is not over."
Is it just me, or does that sound rather menacing?
The highest court in the country finds the districting lines were intentionally racist and need to be redrawn, and the response is “the fight is not over?”
I read a comment somewhere where someone theorized that maybe they ruled this way to try to quell dissent ahead of a possible decision we won't like. I think maybe it was the Harper case? Not 100% sure.
I heard Krystal Ball say it might be a move to somewhat reestablish the trust in the SC after the RvW decision demolished it. I guess both of these ideas make some sense.
Kavanaugh is kind of a wildcard when it comes to racial issues weirdly enough. I can think of at least one more racial issue he's reached across the aisle on, might just be how he votes
Good, gerrymandering has been a problem for years. I remember talking about it in my GIS classes during college. Unfortunately its very with modern GIS software. GIS and Gerrymandering.. Glad to see the supreme court starting to take some action on it.
This would only be at the next election right? So it would just make the split more "fair" for what the population in general wants. But the House does tend to go for the winning candidate's Party during a Presidential election year I think.
