The 14th Amendment says that all people born in America, regardless of race are citizens and have a right to equal protection under the law. For SCOTUS to be remotely confused on that text speaks to their racism, not the Constitution (1/3) www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

The Supreme Court just handed Texas Republicans at least 2 more House seats & possibly up to 5 despite the state GOP explicitly justifying their remap based on an unconstitutional use of race in redistricting.
Unsurprising from this court, and it's a bad sign for the upcoming Voting Rights Act case

BREAKING: Supreme Court sides with Texas Republicans in fight over congressional map. The new gerrymandered map will be used in the 2026 midterms. The vote is 6–3, with the Republican appointees siding with Texas.

Also as the dissent points out, just because the impetus for a gerrymander might be partisan doesn't mean you get to do a racial gerrymander!
![In asserting instead that the court’s conclusion was “im-
plausible,” Texas argues that because it was trying to “max-
imize[ ] partisan advantage,” it would have relegated all ra-
cial considerations to the sidelines. Application 11. But
that claim is too simple by half, as this Court has previously
recognized. Because of the “strong correlation[s] between
race and voting behavior,” we have explained, States may
well avail themselves of “race-based districting for ulti-
mately political reasons”—that is, “to advance their parti-
san interests.” Cooper, 581 U. S., at 319, n. 15; see id., at
291, n. 1. So, for example, legislators may “think[ ] that a
proposed district is more ‘sellable’ as a race-based VRA com-
pliance measure than as a political gerrymander and will
accomplish much the same thing.” Id., at 308, n. 7. That is
just what the District Court found that key Texas lawmak-
ers thought in creating and supporting the redistricting
plan. See App. 3, 76; see supra, at 8. The District Court
knew—explained repeatedly—that partisan motives lay be-
neath the new map. See, e.g., App. 2–3, 76–77. But so too
the court found that race was all over it. The lawmakers
created new Republican seats while—indeed, by means of—
converting coalition districts into single-race majority-
minority districts.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreiabu52jsmlbbxiqqhanhhsaqewp4igllmlefchpekcmozqdx3adey@jpeg)
