just to drive home the point. Texas created this map in August. the lower court rendered its decision November. So three months later, a year before the election in question.

Whatever you think of "abundance" agenda, the fact that you have to launch a plan to (supposedly) help middle-class people in a billionaire-bankrolled magazine that employs Caitlin Flanagan and Thomas Chattertom Williams....is a big problem.

I actually read the district court's 160-page opinion. That seems to be more than what SCOTUS did.
It's an extremely impressive opinion, by the way—all the more so given the very short timetable. And even though there's a lot of dense legal discussion, it's a model of clarity. Worth your time.

Reminder about Jan 6:
it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached
