Redistricting Wars

[Rightguide]

Of course he didn't read them. He's waiting on you to cite and quote the relevant parts.

50/50 on whether this helps or hurts California's new redistricting map.

I've read that Prop 50 is currently under legal challenge. Is that so?

 

[HisArpy]

I don't care for the specifics.

Gerrymandering should be illegal.

Anything partisan argument is irrelevant to me

Lol, no one fucking CARES that you think it should be illegal.

Of course.

Thanks for your multiple not caring replies on the topic.

Yes, there's actual evidence that the State intended to suppress white votes in favor of latino/minority votes in addition to violating the law by going around the redistricting committee.

I think the trial court will side with the State, as will the 9th circuit. OTOH, SCOTUS doesn't have a good track record of hearing repeated challenges on the same issue so they may deny cert when it finally gets there.

 

[Rightguide]

I didn't qualify, you fucking moron

What? You mean you failed the reading test?

I don't care for the specifics.

Gerrymandering should be illegal.

• Rucho v. Common Cause (2019) — The U.S. Supreme Court held that federal courts lack jurisdiction to adjudicate claims of partisan gerrymandering, calling them “political questions beyond the reach of the federal courts.” Although the Court recognized partisan gerrymandering may be “incompatible with democratic principles,” it declined to set a national judicial standard to strike it down.
• Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP (2024) — The Court further narrowed protections under the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965 by allowing a map in South Carolina challenged for racial gerrymandering to go forward, effectively limiting the reach of VRA-based challenges tied to redistricting.

I made a clear and succinct statement.
You're arguing court cases.

I think IL-douchebag is flailing against everything/everyone in an effort to say "Look At Me!!!"

My question is why the fuck would anyone do that in the first place, let alone after he makes a complete fool of himself in public.

You have a difficult time responding to someone point blank telling you

Gerrymander should be illegal.

I know that's tough.

Provide a solid non-partisan position?

Yah, weird dude.

Which of the four words are difficult for you?

SHOULD BE isn't "is."

It's not that difficult to understand, unless you're actually as galactically stupid as you appear to be on this board.

 

[ll74]

I never claimed otherwise.

As a lawyer, you might understand that.

It's not that difficult to understand, unless you're actually as galactically stupid as you appear to be on this board.

It is absolutely easy to understand that I want gerrymandering to be illegal.

I have said it a large number of times.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Lol, no one fucking CARES that you think it should be illegal.

Well, squire, I care.
So take your glittering generatlities and sit down.

IL74 supports democracy and prohibiting the gerrymandering of congressional districts,
You, on the other hand, support the continuation of the shrinking white population's control over the government by the use of partisan gerrymander.

That alone makes IL74 a better American than you are, in my opinion.

Democrats started this war.

Totally Fact Free Comrade RightGuide strikes again. Saying something dumb over and over won’t make it true.

Republicans have gained the most from partisan gerrymandering.

After the 2020 census, Republicans controlled the redistricting process in more states than Democrats, and used this advantage aggressively. By Brennan Center estimates, maps used in the 2024 election had on average a net 16 fewer Democratic or Democratic-leaning districts than maps than complied with the strong anti-gerrymandering standards in the stalled federal Freedom to Vote Act.

The Democrats in Congress tried to outlaw gerrymandering nationwide. Predictably, Republicans voted against it because they support election fraud in the form of gerrymandering.

Democrats supported banning gerrymandering shortly after losing the state legislatures they’d used to gerrymander for 50 years.

Democrats did not try to outlaw gerrymandering during the decades when they benefited most from it (1950s–1980s).
Their major push to restrict or eliminate partisan gerrymandering only began after they started losing control of state legislatures, especially after the 2010 GOP wave. Those are the facts.

It is from this that they started to believe that court packing was the solution to their problem.

Court packing is stupid.

So are you.

A Trump-appointed judge has integrity and applies the law.

Trump-bribed SCOTUS has lost their integrity and over-rules the lower judge. This is MAGAstopian 2025.

God bless our SCOTUS. Saving America, one decision at a time.

You make things up and become upset by the things you made up. It’s the favorite activity of mindless MAGA sheep.
