NEW: Louisiana — after filing its brief in a Supreme Court case that could shape the future of the Voting Rights Act — will no longer defend its court-ordered map adding a second majority-Black district. Instead, it argues that using race in redistricting is unconstitutional.
"Using race to fix the map that we drew to discriminate based on race is definitely unconstitutional"
So what Texas is doing is unconstitutional - is this what Louisiana is arguing?
Lousiana - Mike Johnson’s murder state? Send in the troops. I’m sure there is trash there too. #weakamerica
Remember it was a case from Louisiana that got Roe overturned too
Using race in Redistricting- which the Republicans have done consistently to water down black votes - is now “unconstitutional” when used to correct the injustice. Hypocrisy is in their dna.
Of course. It's AmeriKKKa.
Shithole state, last in every metric.
Will the conservatives rule in favor of voters, or the state. They should be ruling for voters in all states. but the roberts court will not defend voting rights for people of color. So vote Blue, let's correct the bribery that goes on in this supreme court. VOTE BLUE, to same our democracy SC
Using race to restrict or enhance voting Should be unconstitutional. Depends on who is sitting in the bench. Mathematics and computer drawn maps can solve this problem, of legislators want it solved.
Sure, but unless a non partisan group does it with clear guidelines then the GOP can use mathematics and computer drawn maps to #gerrymander too. #Thornburg #Gingles
lol I bust a gut at their hypocrisy.
Please explain to us, (regular people) what is going on here. Ty.
Louisiana is the most racist place I’ve ever been to, so yes, they need intervention
With Roberts leading the charge since the mid-80s to gut the VRA, Louisiana and the other states challenging this will probably get their way.
Louisiana was where Dobbs, which overturned Roe started. Louisiana is the current pipeline for Leo billions , Heritage, and the Republican Project 2025 cult shredding our rights in SCOTUS.
