Supreme Court Okays Texas' Redistricting Map

California just amended its constitution to permit Gavin Newsom to redraw that state's map for maximum partisan advantage. Meanwhile, left-wing judges insist that Republicans aren't allowed to do the same, Because Racist.

The Supreme Court "took note" of California's similar manuever and decided, by 6 to 3, that no, it's not (D)ifferent when (D)emocrats do it any longer.

The Supreme Court said Thursday that Texas can use its new gerrymandered House map in the upcoming midterm elections, likely yielding as many as five additional seats for Republicans in the battle for control of the House.
...
By an apparent 6-3 vote, the justices granted an emergency request from Texas officials to block a lower court ruling that The court's high ruling also took note of recent Democrat-led redistricting in California, signaling that the justices may not be inclined to interfere with those efforts or similar drives in other states.

I think this means the Supreme Court will finally overturn the leftwing-judge-made "law" that states are required to use racial criteria to maximize minority "representation."

4 Now when Republican voters don't show up because the candidates are worthless and feckless grifters, but the Demonic Party GOTV and Fraud Machine kick in to deliver those 130% district turnouts, does this mean that Texas turns blue in the House?

6 The lower courts decision was based on partisan subjective false reasoning when it was obvious the redistricting was solely for political advantage.

That three SC justices agreed with it shows how evil and dishonest the Left is. The Ends Justify the Means for the Left no matter what.

7 If Pennsylvania eventually gets a Republican Governor, they can do the same. Currently the Republicans control the State Senate and the Higher Legislature as well as the AG.

Previously, the Republicans tried to re-district and the PA Supreme Court shot it down (illegally). But, this USSC decision would circumvent the PA Supreme Courts interference.

14 Does Texas really have the right to separate into a total of four states? The donks would probably gerrymander the whole thing to make sure that each state contained a major donk city (Central Texas, Austin, Southern Texas, Houston, etc.). Maybe it would be possible to create one state, shaped rather like a colon, that included most of the liberal enclaves.

For over 50 years--closely following our married life--we've had a Douglas Fir done in blue lights, a ton of ornaments that were passed down from my parents, all glass. The number is slowly shrinking due to Lab tails and cats prowling through the branches.

But the tree still shows beautifully when all the lights are off, especially with the tinsel glittering.

66 The statement that Prop 50 was amended IS NOT CORRECT.

AUTHORIZES TEMPORARY CHANGES TO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MAPS IN
RESPONSE TO TEXAS' PARTISAN REDISTRICTING. LEGISLATIVE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Requires temporary use of new congressional district
maps through 2030. Directs independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to resume enacting
congressional district maps in 2031. Establishes policy supporting nonpartisan redistricting
commissions nationwide. Fiscal Impact: One-time costs to counties of up to a few million
dollars statewide to update election materials to reflect new congressional district maps.

This is what was on the ballot. This is what was voted on. It pretty clearly states it is not amending the Constitution, but ignoring it. Yes, they use legislative slight of hand to try to gloss over the blatant unconstitutional power grab... but the wording on the BALLOT is what was voted on, which allows the legislature to ignore the Calif. Constitution.

The white represents the snow, or the sparkle of snow when light hit it, or so they tell me anyway. Yeah, it can be overdone though. I use both white and colored lights, especially on the tree. The white for the brightness, and the color for the color. Works great, almost like colored lights on a tree with snow. At the old house I used white and red outside on the light post out front for that candy cane thing. This house has the columns under the gable by the front door, and that will get the same treatment IF I can get the outside outlets installed in time. Nothing but white though, yeah thats a bit sterile, but I have seen it done pretty nice.

83 In a dissent, Kagan wrote:

"“Over the course of three months, a three-judge District Court in Texas undertook to resolve the factual dispute at issue in this application: In enacting an electoral map slanted toward Republicans, did Texas predominantly use race to draw its new district lines? Or said otherwise, did Texas accomplish its partisan objectives by means of a racial gerrymander?”

“Without so much as a word about that standard, this Court today announces that Texas may run next year’s elections with a map the District Court found to have violated all our oft-repeated strictures about the use of race in districting.

107 Does Texas really have the right to separate into a total of four states? The donks would probably gerrymander the whole thing to make sure that each state contained a major donk city (Central Texas, Austin, Southern Texas, Houston, etc.). Maybe it would be possible to create one state, shaped rather like a colon, that included most of the liberal enclaves.

======

She will announce her Senate run in the next week or so.

She will raise tens of millions of dollars.

People will freak because terrible polls will say it's close, because she raised so much money.

She will lose by 9, and people will credit the panic to Paxton's win, not the fact that sassy black women don't play well with Hispanics in general.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, seeing life through the shadows with Otto Preminger at December 04, 2025 06:54 PM

Yep she was just waiting for this ruling. I expect by monday she will announce that she is going to run in the dem primary for coryn's senate seat. State law prevents her from running for two separate office's at the same time.

And you are correct, she will grift millions and lose big time and blame whitey.

Yeah, that's subtractive, so you'd theoretically get black...
Also, if using LED white lights, they are technically emitting blue with a yellow phosphor...so maybe it is racist to all except smurfs and asians...

They turned some +25 R districts into +15s. They also are less snaky and stupid. The only rule I would put on redistricting would be to require a district to be relatively square so people in the district have some geographic sense.

My aunt had one on a small aluminum tree that was in my cousins room! I had forgotten about that. We've used both. We have one tree with white lights but with a few colored bubble lights intermixed. The other larger tree has C7 ceramic coated style bulbs, with some smaller colored minilights. At some point I assume I will be using LED C7s, but for now I can still get the old fashioned ones.
