South Carolina's Legislature Will Delete C***s***er Jim Clyburn's Seat Tomorrow; Alabama Now Free to Eliminate One of Its Two Democrat Districts

South Carolina's Legislature Will Delete Cser Jim Clyburn's Seat Tomorrow; Alabama Now Free to Eliminate One of Its Two Democrat Districts

Alabama has two majority-minority districts due to unconstitutional racist and Democrat Protection Racket mandates.

The Supreme Court just vacated a lower court ruling mandating the racially rigged districts, and Alabama will swiftly move to eliminate one of them.

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Alabama to implement a new race-neutral congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms on Monday.

In a 6-3 order, the high court vacated a series of lower court rulings that effectively resulted in the state's use of a congressional map that includes two majority-minority districts. As The Federalist reported, such affirmative action districts were historically carved out under past interpretations of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act to Democrats' benefit.
...

Responding to Monday's decision, Allen said in a statement that Alabama's May 19 primary election "will proceed as scheduled," and that his office "will remain in close contact with the Governor's Office and the Attorney General's Office as this situation continues developing."
...
Writing for the dissent, Sotomayor argued that "[t]here is no reason" for the Supreme Court to vacate the district court's order and remand the matter "for reconsideration in light of the Court's new interpretation of §2 of the Voting Rights Act" in Callais. She contended that the lower court's "finding of intentional discrimination" in the battle over Alabama's 2023 proposed map "is independent of, and unaffected by, any of the legal issues discussed in Callais."

With that lawless lower court ruling vacated, the maps Alabama actually drew in 2023 should now back in effect.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday set the stage for Alabama to eliminate one of two largely Black congressional districts before this year's midterm elections, creating an opening for Republicans to gain an additional U.S. House seat in a partisan battle for control of the closely divided chamber.
...
Alabama officials had pointed to the Louisiana case as reason for the Supreme Court to end a judicial order to use a court-imposed House map until after the 2030 census. The high court on Monday overturned that order and directed a lower court to reconsider the case in light of the Louisiana decision. That could free the state to instead use a map approved in 2023 by the Republican-led legislature that includes only one district where Black residents comprise a majority.
Anticipating a court reversal, Alabama officials recently enacted a law allowing it to void the results of a May 19 primary for some congressional districts and instead hold a new primary under the revised district boundaries. Alabama had asked for an expedited decision ahead of the primary.

I don't know how long the lower court will take to issue a ruling, though. The Supreme Court vacated and remanded -- the latter word meaning "sent back to the lower court for reconsideration of its decision, now informed by the Supreme Court's new ruling and instruction." I guess the lower court could once again attempt to impose the old map, making new claims.

Shipwreckedcrew, a former federal prosecutor, thinks it's unlikely the lower court can attempt to re-impose the court-mandated map without the unconstitutional command to gerrymander as many majority-minority districts as possible:

Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew
14h
Alabama didn't make the same argument that the petitioners did in Louisiana. It did not argue that the race-consicous remedy was a 14th Amendment violation that was only available in very narrow circumstances.
The plaintiffs in the Alabama case can challenge the old map again, but they aren't entitled to "majority-minority" districts ordered by a court as the remedy. Alabama may be forced to draw new maps that explicitly rely on partisanship and not race, but the end result is going to be the same.

But this could take time. I don't know which maps will be in effect if the lower Hawaiian judge drags this out.

Meanwhile, South Carolina will eliminate race hustler Jim Clyburn's seat tomorrow.

South Carolina lawmakers will take up this proposed congressional map tomorrow.

The plan would eliminate a Democratic-leaning seat represented by Jim Clyburn.

Notice the shifting goalposts.

In South Carolina, it’s about having a black person in Congress.

But in Tennessee, because the Democrat being booted is white and his probable GOP replacement is black, it’s suddenly not.

The constant? Democrats in power. That’s all this is. https://t.co/IFIyxgQtK7

By the way: Every district will still be strongly pro-GOP. This isn't a case of reducing the GOP's margins to dangerously thin levels to eke out an extra GOP congressman. With virtually any map except an unconstitutionally racially-gerrymandered one, every district in SC will be stronkly pro-GOP.

Clyburn's district, and a Democrat-leaning district in SC, only existed due to racism and the Democrats' rigging of the rules to keep themselves in power.

And soon that blemish will be excised.

10 It's possible to eliminate all the Democrat districts in Alabama, but it would put some Republican districts at about 54/46, close enough to be competitive in a wave election.

Barring weird circumstances, which we have had, Alabama elects Republicans to all statewide offices.

14 Just to be clear, democrats have already gerrymandered every state that they are able to outside of Virginia. The reason they are trying in Virginia is a narrow election win.

In the south, democrats used the VRA to create artificial, racist districts to achieve a congressional majority, and now that the court has ruled those unconstitutional, those must go.

Based on non-gerrymandered districts, the democrats cannot win.

16 These gerrymandered safe districts are one of the reasons we have these loons in the first place. They have to out-loon each other to win.

Having more competitive districts will moderate the radical Dems, and it will also expose those voters to more reasonable candidates and make them consider reality for a change.

I have spoken to blacks in safe districts, and they consider Rs to be completely unacceptable. They have no exposure to ideas like school choice except though the lens of the Dem propaganda machine (which is often driven by teachers unions, for example.)

South Carolina, where the first shot of the civil war was fired, where 40 percent of those enslaved came through the Charleston port, is today engaged in an ugly recidivism to draw maps that will deny a Black person the chance to serve in Congress.

The stakes could not be higher.

Our political fight is not on a playground, but a moral battleground.

We must stand for Black representation across the South

76 Clyburn has faced accusations regarding his involvement in gerrymandering. Reports indicate that he allegedly worked with Republicans during the 2020 redistricting process. This collaboration is said to have resulted in a congressional map that diluted the Black vote in South Carolina, while solidifying his own district.

77 What is the lack of black districts going to do to black turnout in the states that get rid of them?

They're partisan Democrats above all, but there's an obvious racialism aspect to their voting behavior, most obvious when a black Democrat loses to a white Democrats in a primary (black turnout in the general goes down).

What does that do to the turnout...machines? The fortification? Is there enough juice to push for state level seats without a federal standardbearer like a 40 year black incumbent?

84 This was in an Letter to Editor in a local NH paper

In the hasty desire for a quickly restored Union, the nation (after soundly defeating the Confederate insurgency) gave in to the innate tendency of human desire to take the easy route. Instead of crushing the traitors into oblivion, and never allowing them to rise again, we opted for appeasement.

I feel this also applies present day, as we are quickly approaching the end of the era known as Trumpism in America. Over the last decade, much like the Civil War, this country was torn apart. The political cult known as MAGA quite literally attempted to overthrow the U.S. government — much like the Confederacy. The actions of MAGA politicians over the last 10 years amounts to a treason that should never be forgiven.

When this long dark era of Trumpism comes to an end (and it will), I fear that once again we will, as a nation, exchange the gavels of justice with our all-too-familiar desire to return to normalcy. If normalcy is what allowed the Confederate blood of this country to rise again in the 21st century in the form of Trumpism, then normalcy is not something that we should be seeking in which to return.

It's probably still unconstitutional in red states, they just don't give a shit about the constitution. Thats exactly how Republican Privilege works.

Not that it wasn’t apparent a long time ago, but they have truly and completely abandoned any attempts to be seen as non-partisan at this point.

Just blatantly doing everything they can to ensure they give Republicans an opportunity to scheme out a win on the margins, disenfranchising as many people as they can in the process.

So why are we living like this? They clearly don’t care about the law and they’re showed to be hiding MILLIONS in bribes with zero remorse. Why are we allowing the conservative justices to go on?

The only chance is voting in mass to a point where it would be impossible steal through minor manipulation. If that fails it’s time to find a new country that’s more in line with your values.

So leave the country while we’re the lawful ones? I’m not sure that’s how this country was founded. It would make more sense if Thomas was concerned about his bribes.

No it doesn't.

"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race" is a, quote from Chief Justice John Roberts in the 2007 case Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1. This sentiment, often called colorblind constitutionalism, argued that legal systems should not use racial distinctions, a view later used to end affirmative action in college admissions.
Posted by: The Dems
========
Actually on race, Roberts has been consistent. See Shelby decision, the end of Gratz-Grutter O'Connor decisions in the Harvard and North Carolina race admittance cases, etc.. Roberts has his faults but his guidance of the court on race matters has been good.

Scotus cases like Adarand v Pena (1995) and Richmond v. Croson (1989) required strict scrutiny on using race during the Rehnquist court but the weaker sisters of O'Connor and Kennedy kept those precedents from being widely used by undercutting them with decisions like Grutter and Gratz in education.

Now, the crowning achievement would be ending disparate impact jurisprudence.

Yep. O'Keefe has come out with some new video hits this week showing voters being paid for their votes. 5-8 bucks per vote. Warnock did that in GA for his race by airdropping gift cards into the electorate to avoid triggering the financial surveillance of cash.

Basically, you spray out mail in ballots in poor areas and then send your ballot harvesters out to collect those ballots paying the voter. The ballot harvesters then fill them out and submit them along with the vacant lot and warehouse ballots that are collected on the route.

Ellis Edwards as Johnny Danger is drunk and riding a 250cc motorcycle. He rides up to Darvid Charvet as Matt Brody. Danger invites Brody to hop on the motorcycle and ride to the end of the pier. He tells Brody, "It's party time, slick!" Brody asks if Danger got in a fight with his friend Matt. Danger says he did and he did it for the fun. Then Danger rides around the pier, makes some ham-handed attempts at chatting up some girls, then guns it and rides the motorcycle off the pier.

147 128 We moved to South Carolina in 2023 from Florida to be near siblings and grandchildren. Most of my neighbors hate President Trump, so I avoid talking politics. I’m registered NPA(No Party Affiliation), and tell them that I don’t want to hear about their politics.
If they bring up ICE, I just say two words, “Larisha Thomas”, my father’s home health aide’s cousin who was killed by six illegals about five miles from my house. I tell them that I’ll save my sympathy for her two children who’ll be separated from their mom for the rest of their lives. That immediately quiets people down.

But all polls are right, even if the results are outside of each others' margins of error, and the only thing to do is assume that the real result is halfway between them.

Supreme Court misinterpreted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in Griggs. But, like the Voting Rights Act misinterpretation, the clear solution is to go constitutional. 14th Amendment clearly is colorblind in application and was never intended to give the power to Congress to do what the Brits call positive discrimination powers.

Does not meet strict scrutiny of being narrowly tailored remedy for past discrimination. The focus of the CRA was individual fairness in consideration for jobs, etc. not 'groups' and the same goes for the 13th to 15th Amendments. Equal protection of the laws was drafted so that no classification should be used by the state to purposefully affect individuals right to be treated fairly under the law--e.g. like every one else that is similarly situated.

I doubt it. Minorities are not enamored of their elites which they have noticed have done little to help them over time but done quite well for themselves in the process. There is a reason these are rotten boroughs in urbanized and racialized cheat districts. The elected officials do nothing to help the people but yet do quite well for themselves. See Tiffany Henyard, Stacey Abrams, or Fani Willis as an example.

290 Is Clyburn one of those ancient civil rights workers? Did he march alongside Senile Joe?

291 Silent and Boomers clutching on to DELICIOUS POWER for so long meant that Gen X got completely cut out of government.

The next class of leaders will be ALL members of my precious Millennial cohort.

292 273 Remember, Section 2 of the VRA states explicitly "Provided, Nothing in this section establishes a right to have members of a protected class elected in numbers equal to their proportion in the population."

Scotus had to go constitutional on it via the narrowly tailored bit because Supreme Court only facially interprets a law ONCE. You can challenge the law as applied but not the language of the law. And the Justice Brennan, in Thornburg v. Gingles introduced a vote dilution test to remedy past discrimination. The recent Callais decision went with Adarand (and Harvard/NC cases plus Shelby County districting decision) in junking remedies for past discrimination. It require evidence of present and active discrimination as the intent for districting. Ironically, that is pretty much what the left openly has done in state and local districts to create safe seats for minorities. They thought it was safe to do to enshrine their power.

Smart people.

295 Clyburn is so mean, vicious, self-righteous, and angry that he's liable to froth at the mouth, and bite someone over losing his seat.

He's going to get a million dollar a year job at an Atlanta law firm that requires him to be in DC and appear on talking head shows once every 4 months.

I think he may be fighting federal obstruction of justice charges in the near future. Same with Chris Carr and definitely slimy Ratshitburger. Look up Vic Reynolds' statement regarding taking orders. Vic was Kemp's handpicked head of the GBI who did nothing related to election fraud.

299 @237 People's Hippo Voice-I'm ignorant to this bit of history. Why would Grant have switched sides?
--
Here:
After the surrender, Grant ordered his troops to stop all celebration, saying the "war is over; the rebels are our countrymen again."

He despised the Southern cause and slavery but in no way would have joined a war of revenge and spite.

303 The only way this nation moves forward is if we eliminate the plague that has destroyed our country from within. That plague is MAGA. Healthy debate, appeasement and compromise will not bring us out of this darkness. Only accountability will end this long national nightmare.
