- What party started the gerrymandering wars? The Republicans with a plea from Trump!
- What party is sitting on seating a duly elected Congresswoman from Arizona? The Republicans, Johnson is holding up the seating Adelita Grijalva, a Democrat from Arizona because she will break the tie vote to release the Epstein papers!
- What party is trying to strip the Voting Rights Act of 1965?
The case centers on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the key provision of the law that broadly prohibits discrimination in voting practices on the basis of race or creed.PoliticoBy Zach Montellaro and Andrew Howard10/15/2025The Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear arguments in a case that could gut the Voting Rights Act by barring states from considering the racial makeup of voting populations when drawing district lines — an outcome that stands to change the course of next year’s midterm elections.In adopting that approach, the justices could upend decades of court decisions holding that states may — and sometimes must — use race-conscious redistricting to protect the voting power of minorities.Some conservatives argue that any consideration of race in drawing district lines is cynical, discriminatory and unconstitutional. Advocates for minority voters warn a “colorblind” interpretation of the Voting Rights Act would erode Black, brown and Asian representation in American politics and kick off another round of redistricting amid an already chaotic cycle of mid-decade redraws ahead of 2026.
Did you get that argument? Banning discriminations is itself discriminatory! Talk about circular reasoning!

So in other words it will make gerrymandering districts to break up black communities legal!
If the justices decide that lawmakers cannot consider race in drafting maps, redistricting could result in congressional seats flipping from blue to red throughout the country.The New York TimesBy Abbie VanSickleOct. 15, 2025The Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear arguments in a challenge to Louisiana’s congressional map, a legal battle over whether states can use race as a factor in drawing electoral lines.The dispute centers on whether Louisiana lawmakers ran afoul of the Constitution when they adopted a new electoral map in 2024, creating the state’s second majority-Black district.But the case could have much broader implications for the law and for politics, potentially gutting the remaining pillar of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which the Supreme Court’s conservative majority has sharply curtailed in recent years. If the justices decide that lawmakers cannot consider race in drafting maps, redistricting could result in congressional seats flipping from blue to red throughout the country.
You see the racist Republicans are worried, they are becoming the minority so they want to break up the "Black vote." Thety have been chipping away at the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Back from day one the Republicans have fought it!
- 1965: South Carolina v. Katzenbach (Unconstitutional intrusions on states' rights)
- 2013: Shelby County v. Holder (Formula that determined which jurisdictions needed preclearance)
- 2021: Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee (Set limits plaintiffs challenging state or local rules under Section 2)
- 2023: Allen v. Milligan (The question was whether the state illegally diluted Black voting strength by having only one majority‐Black district even though Black voters could form a second fairly compact majority‐Black district.)
And now we have...
The legal battle can be traced back to the 2020 census, which showed an increase in Louisiana’s population of Black adults. While Black Louisianans made up about a third of the state’s population, there was only one majority-Black congressional district out of six districts.
Bring back, bring back, bring back my Jim Crow laws to me! (Yeah, yeah, I know. But what do you want at 6AM when I'm writing this!)
There is no doubt the Republican party is a party of racists! The Republican party is a party of fascists! The Republican party is a party for the party and not the people!
