    This judge was like, Texas had a whole plan to gerrymander away PoC while pretending it has nothing to do with race as approved by the Supreme Court. The DOJ can’t keep their mouth shut and are too incompetent to understand the nuance of the case they were citing.

    Red states have all gerrymandered themselves for decades. Blue generally haven’t. So if both go full out to gerrymander, it seems like the blue states that haven’t done so yet would have a lot more opportunity to gain seats.

    FAFO?

    Would be pretty sweet if this stands but they fail to block CA’s redraw that was only done to counter this shit to begin with.

      There’s a few other fascist states following Texas, so even if Texas fails CA is still necessary.

      Here’s the next argument from the right: The CA redraw is in response to a racial redraw, therefor it is also based on race and therefor unconstitutional.

    The only benefit to a kakistocracy, is that these morons are so incompetent, that they can’t actually accomplish any of their nefarious plans. It’s like a bank robber that shoots themselves in the crotch, while trying to pull their gun out of their pocket.
