BREAKING: Supreme Courtroom Delivers HUGE Win for Truthful Maps Forward of Midterms

0


In a giant win, the Supreme Court just effectively cleared the way for Louisiana to re-draw their congressional map before this year’s midterms!

Today, SCOTUS granted Louisiana’s request to fast-track its redistricting case.

Now, the state is required to submit a compliance plan to the Supreme Court within three days of today’s order.

Here are the details:

JUST IN: The US Supreme Court has officially FINALIZED their order to direct the state of Louisiana to re-draw their maps to eliminate RACE-BASED districts IMMEDIATELY

This is GREAT news 🔥

The state must submit a COMPLIANCE PLAN to SCOTUS within THREE DAYS of today’s order, meaning they’ll have to show their plans to remove this egregiously-drawn district ASAP.

Federal courts will be supervising the redistricting to ensure compliance with the Supreme Court’s order

Southern states take note: RE-DRAW your race-based districts, or face ACTION in the US Supreme Court

JP reported further on the ruling:

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed a recent ruling that gutted a key part of ​the Voting Rights Act to take effect ahead of schedule, bolstering Louisiana Republicans as they pursue a new ‌congressional voting map ahead of the November midterm elections.

The action by the justices, though procedural, is likely to undercut legal challenges to Louisiana Republicans’ decision to delay the state’s congressional primary elections and seek a new electoral map that could be beneficial to Republicans.

President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans are fighting to maintain their control ​of the House, as well as the Senate, in the November elections.
The court’s move, which came in an unsigned order, ​granted a request from a group of Louisiana voters who described themselves in court papers as “non-African American”. Their ⁠lawsuit led to the 6-3 ruling on April 29 striking down an electoral map that had given Louisiana a second Black-majority ​U.S. congressional district.

The ruling gutted a key provision of the Voting Rights Act that had barred electoral maps if they would result in ​diluting the clout of minority voters.

To give the losing side of a decision the chance to ask for a rehearing, the Supreme Court typically waits 32 days before its formal judgment is issued. But the prevailing party can ask the court to issue its judgment more quickly, as the “non-African American” ​voters did here.

Of course, liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, arguing that Louisiana should be able to continue using the unconstitutional, racially gerrymandered map!

In response, Justice Alito absolutely let KBJ have it…

Check this out:

HOLY CRAP!! Justices Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas just PUMMELED Ketanji Jackson’s dissent, calling it “trivial at best, and the other is baseless and INSULTING”

🔥🔥

Jackson basically ATTACKED the majority, and argued Louisiana should be required to use an *unconstitutional* racially gerrymandered map in the 2026 midterms — directly against the majority ruling.

Alito didn’t take too kindly to that:

“The dissent goes on to claim that our decision represents an unprincipled use of power…that is a groundless and utterly irresponsible charge.”

“What principle has the Court violated? The principle that Rule 45.3’s 32-day default period should never be shortened even when there is good reason to do so? The principle that we should never take any action that might unjustifiably be criticized as partisan?”

“The dissent accuses the Court of ‘unshackl[ing] itself from ‘constraints…’ It is the DISSENT’S rhetoric that lacks restraint.”

“The dissent in this suit levels charges that cannot go unanswered. The dissent would require that the 2026 congressional elections in Louisiana be held under a map that has been held to be unconstitutional.”

“The dissent does not claim that it is now too late for the state legislature or the District Court to adopt a new map that complies with the Constitution.”

“Nor does the dissent assert that it is not feasible for the elections to be held under such a map. Instead, the dissent offers two reasons for its proposed course of action.”

“One is trivial at best, and the other is baseless and insulting.”

Gorsuch signed onto this as well.

Newsweek has more on KBJ’s dissent and Justice Alito’s backlash:

Jackson wrote in her dissent that voters and a candidate who “have already submitted their ballots filed suits against the Governor and the Secretary of State, asserting that, whatever might happen to Louisiana’s congressional map in the future, this election is already underway and must continue pursuant to the current maps.”

The justice concluded: “The Court unshackles itself from both constraints today and dives into the fray. And just like that, those principles give way to power. Because this abandon is unwarranted and unwise, respectfully, I dissent.”

Alito called out Jackson for her dissent.

“The dissent goes on to claim that our decision represents an unprincipled use of power. See post, at 4 (‘And just like that, those principles give way to power’),” he wrote. “That is a groundless and utterly irresponsible charge. What principle has the Court violated? The principle that Rule 45.3’s 32-day default period should never be shortened even when there is good reason to do so? The principle that we should never take any action that might unjustifiably be criticized as partisan?”

“The dissent accuses the Court of ‘unshackl[ing]’ itself from ‘constraints.’ Post, at 4. It is the dissent’s rhetoric that lacks restraint,” he added.

Go, Justice Alito!

Ketanji Brown-Jackson is such a disgrace to our nation.

Exactly this:

But still, this is a massive victory…

All red states need to follow in Louisiana’s steps and fix their maps before November.
