If there are no consequences here…that means states can just keep enforcing gun bans SCOTUS deemed unconstitutional and that all rulings from the Supreme Court have no merit.
As there are no real consequences for the corruption in the supreme court, there will be none for those who ignore their decisions.

And yet, they’re 10th in line holding their hands out for federal funding. Seems like it’s time to shut off the tap and see how strong their disgusting ass convictions are.
why do the Democrats want to redistrict? is it because they’re losing? some other reason?
Why do Republicans want to disobey a court order? Is it because they are lawbreakers?
Why wouldn’t you want to redistrict when it’s been gamed for minority rule?
1/7 districts (14%) were majority black, but the population is 27% black. The argument was that the black voters were unfairly concentrated into one district and diluted into the other 6 so as to limit their effective representation in the government.
who forced them to live in that district? couldnt they just move? presumably they’d move somewhere else, not stay in Alabama
Couldn’t you just move to Florida and live with DuhSantis?
They can learn all about how great slavery was for black people, I bet they don’t even know.

The districts were drawn specifically this way. If the black population of the state somehow magically moved, they would just redraw the lines again in their favor.
If you suddenly got notified that the place you live has been redistricted to put you in a district which reduces your voting power, would you be ok with your “solution” of uprooting your entire life, changing jobs, finding a new place to stay, and re-registering to vote? Or would you maybe pursue a less completely-insane solution to the problem?
Why should they move?it’s their homes, their lives. Should we just make a state for black people? Or instead represent the people fairly. If you look at the maps it’s pretty obvious they cut the districts to give black people less representation
Because the point of having elections is to represent the people who live in a place, not changing the demographics of a place to reflect the government a political party wants.

Opposing districting that is explicitly designed to lessen the voting power of black people isn’t opposing racism?
Racism already is a driving factor in how Republicans draw district maps. There is no other plausible explanation for why there has never been more than one Black representative in a state in which over a quarter of voters are Black.
It’s not racist to be capable of identifying the effects of racism. It’s not racist to try to eliminate the effects of racism.

They fully recognize race is a factor. They are only recognizing two distant areas with a high population of black people shouldn’t be one district. If you look at the map it’s grouping two random areas together that’s are not even close and it just happens to be areas with more black people. Democrats recognize race and that it plays a factor in this country, republicans deny race exists and that it plays a factor while designing a system that systematically targets people of color.
