So here’s my question. When prop 8 in California was passed (defining marriage as 1 man and 1 woman) by the voters in 08. California decided not to defend the law itself and federal courts decided the backers didn’t have standing & violated the equal protection clause.
Wasn’t that the courts deciding the people’s vote doesn’t count as well?
The bad & good guys learned well that no matter if the people decide, good or bad, it doesn’t matter as they or the courts will ultimately decide.
Yes also the Ohio law and the legislature overriding the vote there as well.

And now that the court has neutered the Voting Rights Act, we’ll watch the South get rid of *literally all* of their African American representatives. And that’ll just happen. No vote, no court interference, no fuss no muss.

This is getting stupid tell me exactly why if they can nullify votes people already cast in LA why VA has to listen to that court order. Like none of these tyranical bastards listen to the legitimate court orders handed to them they dont like… so why should an obviously illegal court order in VA be obeyed? Nobody will enforce it the governor has the say states rights motherfucker. They change the rules to suit themselves in direct violation of the constitution. We can do what needs to be done with the constitution backing us up all the way.

The republicans are doing every shady shit they can to stay in power with how unpopular their dear leader is.

Here’s an idea: No
We won’t obey your corrupt ruling.
Ohio Republicans disobeyed their SC on this very topic and there was literally zero consequences whatsoever.
Why should only one team play by the rules.
The voters have spoken. Ignore the corrupt court.

Well you see, scotus was clear… Redrawing is legal but only when they want to disfranchise people. Redrawing to empower people will have to be illegal

They shouldn’t redraw the lines. Nobody should be gerrymandering.
