Imagine lecturing district court judges for not assuming the Texas Republican Party was full of honest public servants who sincerely have the best interests of their constituents at heart.

Texas clearly did a racial gerrymander, which is illegal.
A district court found that Texas did a racial gerrymander, rejecting the new map because it is illegal.
But the Supreme Court reversed it.
Because? Must assume the gerrymanderers were acting in good faith (despite the evidence otherwise).

I checked mine, and apparently I have recently lost a cat named Mikey, own a goat named Nina, and have also posted publicly about growing up Jewish!
Gosh, the things one learns from the internet.
