No, that was Harry Truman. He and Bess got train tickets home. Disgraceful! He
was a Democrat, but one of the good ones.

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.

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..

As i read all these replies why is the right ok with the right gerrymandering ,which is going on in every red state,seems thats ok with yall,seems the right is ok with cheating any way they can right.

And you wonder why everyone calls you ignorant.
The article you reproduced (without attribution - one small step shy of plagiarism) is riddled with inaccuracies.
First, the vote; Justice Kennedy's retirement was effective July 31st.of this year. There therefor cannot be nine votes on a decision.
Second, the decision. A lower court found the districts were illegally drawn to the advantage of the Repugnicans who drew it. The SC decision does not, repeat, NOT, vacate that decision. It merely states that there is not enough time before the election to complete a redrawing in a legal and orderly fashion.
Third, the law. There is no law against gerrymandering. The finding is that the equal protection clause of the Constitution is violated when classes of people (such as Democrats) are given circumstances in which their vote carries less weight than some other group.
Even more scurrilous, the logic of the article suggests the law applies to Democrats, but not to Repugnicans. If you "think" that's as it should be, you're anti-democracy, to say nothing of unspeakably obtuse. Again, the court did not strike down the appellate court finding that the districts were illegally drawn.
Trumpies are astounding. They have no redeeming qualities, no souls, no hearts, no brains, no education, no clue, yet they don't wink out of existence. Eventually though, Darwin will out.
