Can’t wait until they also rule that California’s map to counter Texas is illegal. 🙄
Texas can use its newly-drawn congressional map in next year’s elections, the US Supreme Court rules, reversing a lower court ruling and dealing a victory to President Trump’s hopes of keeping control of Congress in the midterm elections. www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...
Supreme Court upholds Texas congressional map, a win for Trump administration
The court ruled in favor of the map, which could flip five Democratically held seats in Congress to Republican control.

The wild thing about Beyonce is that every era makes you think she's in her prime. Then she drops the next thing and you wait for her to fall off and it just never happens.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The blatant use of false, inaccurate histories to arrive at a decision the majority of the Court clearly wanted regardless of the facts is a feature of both Dred Scott and Dobbs. It’s an apt comparison. 🗃️
If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.
