Joyce White Vance - ‪@joycewhitevance.bsky.social‬

Alabama asked the Supreme Court for permission to abandon court-ordered maps and go back to using ones the Court ruled were in violation of the Voting Rights Act, just three years ago, in the wake of Callais. Today, the Supreme Court said yes.


You'd be forgiven if you came to the conclusion that Roberts' goal is to keep republicans in power, voters, precedent and constitution be damned.

When we last discussed Alabama, we talked about the fact that it took the state about a nanosecond after Callais to run to the Supreme Court for permission to redraw its maps—to get the “benefit” of Callais—ahead of the midterm elections.

Today, the Supreme Court ruled. There had been speculation that they might delay until after the midterm primary, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, one week from tomorrow. But the Court jumped right into the fray, despite its constant protests that it does not interfere in elections or make political decisions.

And this long article from 2015 is worth a read (and weep):
