The Supreme Court court will fully consider the constitutionality of the maps at a later date, but the temporary stay of the lower court ruling makes it more likely that the racially gerrymandered districts will be used for the 2018 election.
And if, IF, they find it unconstitutional at whatever later date, would the election results from the "temporary stay"ing racially gerrymandered districts be nullified, yes? 
Thanks, Jill. Thanks Susan. Thanks every fucking person who sat it out or voted third party because “my vote must be eaaarrrrned!”
As Finley Peter Dunne’s Mister Dooley observed (pardon the dialect), “‘No matter whether th’ Constitution follows th’ flag or not, the Supreme Coort follows the iliction returns.” The first step toward changing the court’s mind–even before changing its composition, is to win elections.
If you don’t vote you don’t matter !!!
SCOTUS matters. I never want to hear both parties are the same ever again.
Fuck Anthony Kennedy.
So…we’re gonna let them ratfk you for ONE MORE ELECTION just to make sure it’s a trend?
And soon the GOP will abolish “blue slips” for Senators that they used abundantly for Obama’s nominees. Again, I too want to thank those Stein supporters. You are purer than thou. Happy?
All aboard train America! Next stop? Civil War!
I share your opinion. Let’s leave the nastiness and vindictiveness to the other side. It’s the kind of thing you see on redstate.com and breitbart.com. I’d like to think that we’re better than that.
This reminds me of something I’ve heard in history class… What was it? “Taxation without representation?”
Now if only I could recall the context that the phrase was used in…
Agree - But, the only way he can get convicted of treason is through these deplorably republican elected politicians… Not holding my breath…
my opinion of those 4 is pretty low, but unless they are convicted for hanging offenses, i’d rather leave that off the table. however, i really want trump and his fellow collusioners convicted in a court of law and want to see what they did laid out before the world. putin needs to be called out by the rest of the world. then maybe his fellow russians will see through the propaganda.
Or as a Republican would say: “If you don’t matter, you can’t vote!”
“Justice” Usurper strikes a blow for oligarchy. No. Fucking. Quarter.
This is what happens when Democrars in congress dont fight holding up a supreme court nomination and a president doesnt demand that the constitutionality of that action be decided to resolve it. They acquiesced in the usurpation of presidential power by the senate. .
Or, as McConnell sees it, mission accomplished.
Yes, but the district maps are more consequential
In one arena after another everything that has been progressive about the last 60 years or so is suddenly being overturned. My hands are shaking as I type this thought as I believe our democratic experiment is being so thoroughly infected that I do not see a possibility of recovery.
Perfect Photo of Alito who may be the meanest Justce ever to sit on the Supreme Court. he does not have to hear any arguments to any case. he KNOWS how he is voting. Color Him a Rapid far right mean spirited justice. who never ever should have been allowed to lie his way onto the court
