Supreme Court Makes Bombshell Ruling: I*****l A***ns to be Counted in Redistricting!
(Washington Times) A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Monday that i*****l i*******ts and other non-citizens can be counted when states draw their legislative districts, shooting down a challenge by Texas residents who said their own v****g power was being diluted.
The ruling does not grant non-citizens power to v**e, but says the principle of one person, one v**e doesnt require localities to only count those who are actually eligible to v**e.
Justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg, writing for the court, said even though only eligible v**ers are supposed to cast b****ts, elected officials represent all people within their districts, and it is that act of representation, not the e******n itself, that the boundaries are drawn to.
SPECIAL: Sign our Congressional Warning today. Demand that Congress back off and restore our rights, stop the trampling of our Constitution and impeach Obama!
As the Framers of the Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment comprehended, representatives serve all residents, not just those eligible or registered to v**e, she wrote. Nonv**ers have an important stake in many policy debates children, their parents, even their grandparents, for example, have a stake in a strong public-education system and in receiving constituent services, such as help navigating public-benefits bureaucracies.
Texas residents had challenged the way districts were drawn in their state, saying that because they ended up in districts with more eligible v**ers, their v**e counted less than someone in another district.
Because of i*****l i*******ts, other non-citizens and children under 18 years of age, state legislative districts in Texas can vary by as much as 40 percent.
The process of dividing up districts is known as apportionment.
At the federal level, congressional districts have been drawn based on total population under the strictures of the Fourteenth Amendment.
All 50 states have followed the same rules, though the Constitution wasnt explicit on the matter.
