In Historic 9-0 Decision, Supreme Court Just Shredded Democrats (Page 2): Very old report. Says that Kennedy may retire. Have you even read the post? "Sidestepped" is the operative...

Acidilous

Very old report. Says that Kennedy may retire. Have you even read the post? "Sidestepped" is the operative rule. Gerrymandering is an old practice. If anything it's more a Republican practice than Democratic. Republicans were first the use the computer programs which can create congressional districts which favor them. Oligarchs have been funding state races to elect Republicans who will promote gerrymandering. Actually it may ultimately be beneficial to democracy, since the Supreme Court agrees that improper gerrymandering is a constitutional issue. The article is intended to mislead the reader. The Supreme Court may have refused to issue the injunction because it is so close to an election and new district lines couldn't be drawn in time. If you are really interested in the subject instead of making foolish partisan insults, then Google "gerrymandering and the U.S. Supreme Court".
Educate yourself. If anybody is cheating it's Republicans.

You should take your own advice.

Gerrymandering was the Democrats favorite pastime when they controlled the large majority of state legislatures. If you think Democrats gerrymandering was to serve the citizenry I have some beachfront property in Montana to sell you.

The shoe is on the other foot, thanks to the Obama/Pelosi/Reid era.

You reap what you sow.

Trump needs to send in teams of Federal Counsel to California and begin investigations and indictments on all it’s officials, Sanctuary cities and the Marxist Liberal encroachments...

It’s GAME OVER time ...

Idk what he’s waiting for but so far it doesn’t look good.

California is a Sh*t HOle of millions of illegal Mexican, Central AMerican, Asian, African scumbags roaming the streets, homeless camps, trashing every corner, alley, park, beach, rural area in sight...

If you travel around the country like I do you will see it for yourself.

Trump needs to send in 5,000 ICE Teams and start rounding them up as more than half the homeless are undocumented and illegal.

Sick n tired of this Bullsh*T

What I've seen I definitely have to agree there. The people I've seen on CNN and msnbc swing between being pompous, sanctimonious and hysterical😁

A) At this moment, there are 8 SCOTUS justices, so 9-0 isn't possible.
B) The decision explicitly stated that, despite the earlier finding that districts were ILLEGALLY drawn to the advantage of one party-Republicans-there wasn't time to redraw the districts. They WILL be redrawn subject to court supervisionn
C) The party of lies and gutter politics, your crypto-fascist Repugnicans, are staring at the abyss. Trump will resign, unless he's too stupid to see that his house of cards will be swept away by Articles of Impeachment, and Pence will lose in a landslide.
D) Your post stands as proof that none of your fellow travelers has so much as a nodding acquaintance with reality.

Sometimes the Supreme Court gets it right and in a rarity, leveling a historic 9-0 decision, SCOTUS just sidestepped two major cases concerning partisan gerrymandering. This allows controversial district maps to stand and be used in this fall’s midterm elections just the way they are. That’s great news for Republicans and Democrats are incensed over it. They had their hearts set on redistricting voting districts… i.e. partisan gerrymandering. They will literally do anything to steal an election which includes gerrymandering, having the dead vote and recruiting illegal aliens and refugees to vote. Those are just a few of their favorite tricks.

You have to ask yourself if Dems are willing to illegally and unethically unseat a sitting president simply because he is a Republican and they don’t like him, how far will they go to rig an election? As far as they can possibly get away with, sometimes with the help of government agencies. They bend the rules just as far as they can and had planned to do so in the midterms as well. Their blue wave is more of a drip and now this. Things are just not looking good for leftists in the upcoming elections.

This decision is a huge one from SCOTUS. CNN reported: “The Supreme Court on Monday sidestepped two major cases concerning partisan gerrymandering, allowing controversial district maps to stand and be used in this fall’s midterm elections. The 9-0 ruling authored by Chief Justice John Roberts in a Wisconsin case is a blow to Democrats who argued the Republican-drawn maps prevented fair and effective representation by diluting voters’ influence and penalizing voters based on their political beliefs.”

Democrats won a challenge in a lower court, but the Supreme Court’s decision on the Wisconsin case Monday would limit who can bring such cases in the future. A second case from Maryland involved the Republicans challenging a district map drawn by Democrats. The justices said that a lower court did not act improperly in leaving the map in place. In an unsigned opinion with no dissents, the justices said that the challengers failed to reach the high bar of showing “irreparable harm” that would be necessary for a preliminary injunction to block the map. “Even if we assume — contrary to the findings of the District Court — that plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the merits of their claims, the balance of equities and the public interest tilted against their request for a preliminary injunction,” the court said.

The court’s opinion in the Maryland case means that for now, the justices will leave having to answer whether the court can set a standard for when politicians go too far in drawing lines to benefit one party over another for another day. But it also makes it harder to bring it before the high court. This issue is sure to come before the court again, however, and it is one of the reasons it is so important that President Trump select another constitutional originalist to sit on the court when the next vacancy comes up. For instance, Kennedy was seen as the swing vote on this case. Rumor has it he will retire sometime this summer and President Trump will fill his spot. This could solidly weigh the Supreme Court in favor of conservatives for the first time in many years.

This had to be expected....Just a few weeks earlier they ruled on Texas and No. Carolina alledged gerrymandering too leaving the maps drawn in place...

Gettymandering has gone on as long as districts have been drawn up... Nothing new here, nor is the SCOTUS rulings in all four states now..Just take a look at their rulings over the years..

Uh, Chief Justice John Roberts appointed all the FISA judges. Maybe Trump prayed with him and he had a come to Jesus moment? I'm not tired of winning yet! Even "I will not recuse myself Ginsberg and Kaygen" are seeing the light, haha! I'm loving it!!!

In fact, it was on pg 1 of the Post, where it was reported correctly. The lower Court finding that the districts were illegally drawn to favor Republicans stands. The SC merely held that there wasn't enough time to redraw the lines before the election.
You should apologize for your toxic ignorance.

A notion that has been exhaustively and repeatedly refuted. The only support for your lunatic maudering is invented of whole cloth.
If you think you have some substantiation for this inane notion, post it.
Your failure to do so will stand as proof of your foolishness.
Now go play in traffic.
