Judges dismiss suit alleging Tennessee's political maps discriminate against communities of color

A federal judicial panel has dismissed a lawsuit alleging that Tennessee’s U.S. House maps and those for the state Senate amount to unconstitutional racial gerrymandering.

"In 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that disputes over partisan gerrymandering of congressional and legislative districts are none of its business, limiting those claims to state courts under their own constitutions and laws. Most recently, the high court upheld South Carolina’s congressional map in a 6-3 decision that said the state General Assembly did not use race to draw districts based on the 2020 Census."

==========================================================

VRA 1965 explicitly draws districts based on race.

Even today Trump was posting whining about 2020, his ego is that fragile.

So what? He is still a very effective president. You are so focused on his personality that you miss everything he is accomplishing.

But I'll bet you are ecstatic about NYC.

The way it will happen is this..

The Dems will seek an injunction in US Distirct Court. It doesn't matter who wins because it will go to the 5th circuit, which is ultra pro Trump and will rule in favor of the GOP. A petition will be filed with the Supreme Court.

If they have the least bit of integrity, which is at this point debatable, the high Court will find a way to derail it.

No integrity = they don't agree with you.


Got it.

Democrats hate America. She's more proud to be from somewhere else first.

Did she just put herself at risk of deportation or resign from congress.
Don’t both of those oaths put the USA first. So she’s committed perjury.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

And you are on here whining about Trump. Ironic but you are a democrat dumbass (I assume we can use that term since it’s in the thread title)

It's not necessary as it's understood.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Where does it say in any law that they are obliged to be there and provide a quorum ? That they surrender their constitutional rights when they take office ?

Hint: nothing says that because it isn't true and in fact would be unconstitutional if there was such a requirement.

Well if that's the case, then every time the other party is in power, the minority can move to Florida for the term.

Democrats hate America. She's more proud to be from somewhere else first.

It all started with considering someone's ancestry as a race which, ironically, is racist. Latin American, African American, Japanese American, white.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Don't know why anyone would be for it.

Seriously? Why else did Joe fling open the border? Of COURSE they are going to vote Marxist.

Blue states are just as guilty of gerrymandering already

So “nuh uh, they do it too” is a good explanation to be s***?

Call out the sh^t when your team does it and you'll have an argument. Otherwise you are just whining.

I don’t have a team, the Democratic Party is garbage and absolutely gerrymanders, but in the states I’ve lived in, anecdotally it’s been Republicans that are the most consistently aggressive with this strategy.

Jerry Mander is back in the news because democrats have walked off the job they were elected to do.

Representation in America is based on population. It isn't based on land mass or land boundaries. Therefore, at some point the population is going to be grouped to elect representation.

How would you group the people in a way that is better?

So you have mostly lived in Red states and only care when they do it, got it.

 

[OHvol40]

No, I’ve lived in 2 swing states as well as 2 red states. The ridiculous gerrymandering happened in the purple states… I could have sworn I saw those goal posts right here. Guess someone moved them lol

 

[dalton_vol]

Didn’t they already do this once?

Yes, they got whine and make a bunch of drama, typical child dims

 

[dalton_vol]

True.

But you start getting warrants and arresting people and it raises to a new level.

As they should.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Dumbass democrats should not have fled like cowards, even though it comes natural to them

Kind of like the Republicans did to avoid the release of the Epstein files.

Whose ok with illegals/undocumented people in the census being counted towards congressional seats? I can't imagine a good reason. IMO it would only be political hackery to think they should. That needs to change ASAP

Gotta change the constitution.

They get counted because they are people.

 

[n_huffhines]

I'd be cool if we just did not include illegals. Don't know why anyone would be for it.

Because they are people.

Who's moved the goalposts? Every state is guilty of gerrymandering, it's only when red states do it you complain.

 

[AirVol]

The Dims are pissed off because the GOP is playing the same game the Dims played in Illinois and Maryland and got away with it.

 

[hog88]

Because they are people.

Yes, they are people but just like prisoners they cannot vote so while they should be counted their status should exclude their numbers from the reapportionment process.

Why should rural counties get a population bump towards reapportionment from prisons located within their borders?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Yes, another civil war is just right around the corner.

Who will save @NorthDallas40 once the civil war breaks out in TX?

He's too old and Texified to worry with.
