The U.S. Supreme Court just sidelined Wisconsin’s highest court and delivered a significant win for Wisconsin Republicans, who were trying to throw out a state legislative map that included a new majority-Black district.
But Manchin promised the courts would make things right!
But 2 so called Democratic Senators couldn’t bring themselves to protect voting rights in our country. Otherwise, our democracy is ‘strong’, according to some.
“States rights!”, unless those conflict with Republicans holding power, in which case charge to to the Republican Supreme Court to overthrow any attempts by the people to gain freedom to choose their government.
Yep, sounds about right in line with what we’re hearing at the Jackson hearings.
and SCOTUS again fails to ‘thread the needle’.
Remember when Bernie Bros, Susan Sarandon, and Rosario Dawson all said there was no difference between Trump and Clinton? Let’s hear from them now. Let’s also hear from Manchin and Sinema who can’t be bothered the protect the votes of people FROM THEIR OWN PARTY.
Fuckers all.
The Shadow Docketeers are singing Anything Goes, Python-style:
Anything goes in
Anything goes out
Fish, bananas, old pyjamas
Mutton, beef and trout
I would truly appreciate someone explaining to me how this is not necessarily a blatant effort to steer the court into serving Republican interests.
Shadow Docket??? Nay, this newly ultra-conservative Supreme Court is turning it into a Star Chamber. So much for American Justice, courtesy of Donald Trump.
Wisconsin is a 50/50 state but the legislature will be 2/3 rethug. WTF?
And, don’t forget, Mitch and the federalists.
Wednesday’s order comes after an uneven record from the nation’s highest court on redistricting cases this year.
This is not true. They have been very consistent in their intent to screw Americans out of the right to vote.
Something, something, states’ rights bullshit…when it’s convenient…keep “those people” down. Federalist Society fascism…fuck the SCOTUS. it’s illegitimate at this point, a sock puppet joke.
Whelp. There goes PA. The only thing stopping the R’s here from doing the same damn thing was the State Supreme Court. God damn it.
Let’s just say it, when it comes to the majority of the Supreme Court including uncle Thomas, Blacks are far from equal to other citizens.
please let it the fuck go. Hillary was the worst fucking candidate in the last 50 years, worse than even Dukakis. If we had nominated Bernie, he would have mopped the floor with trump, so give it up
I think it’s pretty obvious that they don’t give a fuck any longer what it looks like
Well, they did say they were “NOT partisan hacks”. So now it’s settled then, right? Don’t believe your lying eyes.
The women of Eurasia are born pregnant.
If you want people to let it go, please stop repeating this absurd counterfactual.
Uh, we’ll, you see … if you just look at it like… so really…
Nope. Sorry. Can’t be done.
