(2/5) THE IMPACT: Today’s ruling could: ✅Help secure 27 more red seats in Congress ✅Cement GOP House control for at least a generation ✅Rewrite redistricting rules for state legislatures, city councils and school boards Without racial protections, maps could be redrawn with almost no limits.

(3/5) WHAT'S NEXT: The case will return to lower courts for more proceedings, and the ~20 lawsuits on hold pending a decision in Callais will likely move forward. Florida — the only state left in the ongoing redistricting war — could benefit from today’s decision before the 2026 election.

(4/5) HOW DID WE GET HERE: The court first heard the case last March when it questioned whether LA violated the constitution by drawing a map to comply with the VRA. But it scheduled a rare rehearing in October on the question of whether Section 2 of the VRA violates the 14th or 15th Amendment.

It is only a matter of time that the white Supreme Court rules that way. Oh and Thomas thinks he’s better than anyone so there is that!

Republicans couldn’t roll back civil rights by winning elections so they stacked a court to undo what an elected Congress long ago had done.

Just fyi: Since we invaded Iran, the supreme court has had barriers erected all around it. Not the Capitol. Tells you everything you need to know about imperialism.

And this is why he appointed them, and the Senate caved to confirm.
