Trump expected the SCOTUS to shut down Newsom's response to Republican gerrymandering bullsh*t, and then, OOOPS.

[Miles Archer]

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that California may use a new congressional map approved by voters.

Justices rejected arguments from Republicans asking the court to block district lines they claimed were rigged in favor of Democratic candidates, and their decision was issued as a one-sentence order that did not provide explanation or dissent, reported NBC News.

Democratic legislators drew up the map and voters approved the mid-decade redistricting plan that could give the party a chance to gain five more seats in this fall's midterm elections.

Gov. Gavin Newsom promoted the measure in response to a new map passed last summer by Republicans in Texas to give themselves five additional favorable matchups, but similar efforts have found mixed success around the country.

1. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander

Silly republicans never think their stupid schemes have consequences.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

2. How could they file that lawsuit with a straight face??

[malaise]

8. If the VP's response to an execution is "for what",

It is pellucidly clear that shame is not part of their make up.

[FoxNewsSucks]

10. Simple, they expected "their" SCROTUS appointees to do what

they wanted.

[peppertree]

12. The same way they run interference for a child rapist and Russian asset

With a palm outstretched behind their backs.

[malaise]

7. Unlike the ReTHUG slop, the Democratic sauce was voted

for by citizens.
That is all

[Torchlight]

3. GOP - hoisted by their own precedent

GOP kinda reminds me of the Doyle Lonnegan role in the film, The Sting: "What was I supposed to do, call him for cheating better than me in front of the others?".

[intheflow]

4. The reason this suceeded and others haven't is

that Newsom put it to a vote, and the voters want this. As opposed to TX Republicans who just did their own shit without asking anyone.

6. Ya don't gotta tell me about it, I didn't get a say, just like handing over our voter rolls

greg abbott is the absolute worse governor Texas has ever had. and that's sayin somethin since he followed Rick Perry and GW Bush.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Who dissented?

[Miles Archer]

11. "With no dissents, the justices rejected emergency appeals from California Republicans and President Trump's lawyers...

...who claimed the map was a racial gerrymander to benefit Latinos, not a partisan effort to bolster Democrats."

9. Gavin did it right

I hate him half the time, but when he needs to be, he is there for us.

[ms liberty]

13. IMO, these one sentence rulings are solely to allow the conservative majority to someday

Reverse engineer their arguments to try to minimize their culpability in this mess.

Not gonna work, aholes.

14. awww so sad. LOL nt

15. It was the bare minimum the court could do to show they weren't a bunch of hacks

in the decision for the Texas case, where the evidence race was involved was orders of magnitude more, Alito made clear that he thought the CA gerrymander was political not racial.

16. But gives all the Red States carte blanche
