Texas & DOJ said thatβs what was going on!
So apparently the way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to β¦ allow some discrimination on the basis of race when itβs to secure Republicans electoral advantage.
Just lawless partisan hackery. No fact finding deference. No legal basis.

Texas wasnβt going to gerrymander/draw new maps when Trump called for more partisan gerrymanders. They just started it when DOJ told them to erase majority minority districts! AKA to target and use race.

VA Sen. Schuyler VanValkenburg claims (incorrectly) that what Activate Virginia says about the designed-to-fail Virginia redistricting amendment is somehow inaccurate. In the end, two "special masters" - one chosen by Democrats (who was highly qualified for that task and relatively nonpartisan) and one chosen by Republicans (who was a right-wing hack)...and as a result, we ended up losing Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA02) and had other bad outcomes.
What @activateva.bsky.social says here is 100% accurate: the VA redistricting absolutely was "designed to fail" - as many of us said at the time. Not surprisingly, it then "actually failed and forced the court to deal with legislators' poorly designed process." bluevirginia.us/2025/12/frid...

This could probably be done with simple legislation. Article 3 says almost nothing about how the Supreme Court operates. It mentions that a chief justice will exist, but thatβs about it. There are essentially no constitutional rules about how they hear or decide cases.

"Brett Kavanaugh had six figures in credit card debt shortly before he was confirmed to the Supreme Court" is one of those things that will live rent-free in my head forever because I quite literally have represented someone in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy over substantially less debt.

Indiana. Your elected representatives need to hear from you. They're standing up to bullies on your behalf. Perhaps now would be a good time to thank them for their hard work? Let them know you like their adherence to democratic principles.
