these clowns are REALLY going to say that Texas’s map - which targeted majority minority districts - was NOT discrimination on the basis of race.

But they’ll say Louisiana’s map - drawn to comply with the Voting Rights Act and give Black voters representation- DID discriminate on the basis of race

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

If you told me this was a “Confederate” Court by a 6-3 majority—equally *contemptuous* of American law, in favor of any jurisprudence that lets insurrectionists get everything they want, no matter how illegal—I would say that that is perfectly consistent with facts on the ground.

Kagan: "Today's order disrespects the work of a District Court that did everything one could ask to carry out its charge—that put aside every consideration except getting the issue before it right."
