I can understand how you determine that ruling is right wing. I can appreciate you don't think it is cool. What does "defies public opinion" have to do with constitutionality?

Right, the founders explicitly wanted the Supreme Court to be totally insulated from public opinion. Hence the lifetime appointments

California and Texas have the largest undocumented populations of any state with 2.6 and 2.1 million respectively.

Those two states account for 42% of the entire undocumented population of the United States.

Both would only lose 1 representative each, if they weren't taken into consideration in the last census.

Assuming that's accurate - I stand corrected that is done in large part.

It would seem that knowing how many illegals are in the country would be a key variable when trying to estimate their impact on apportionment.

This is from the first result returned. We believe this is accurate? That there has been no increase in the illegal alien population in this country in the last 20 years?

The Texas Attorney General's comments and press release are utterly unhinged.

If any of this stupidity actually ends up with criminal charges or firings, he just created irrefutable justification for every single Democrat defendant / victim to demand a change of venue - to a criminal / civil court completely outside of Texas altogether. Clearly, there will be no possibility of a fair legal trial within Texas given the AG's politically-charged grandstanding.

CNN Guest Made a Keen Observation That Nuked the Dems' Narrative Over Texas Gerrymandering

CNN guest critiques Democrats' response to Texas' congressional map and highlights GOP's strategy.
townhall.com townhall.com

"CNN guest Batya Ungar-Sargon, a leftist Trump supporter, exposed the most entertaining part of this tale, which is that the new districts proposed are majority Hispanic.

“These new five potential GOP-controlled districts are all majority Hispanic. The Republicans are leaning into the victories that Trump had with Hispanic voters in 2024 and saying, ‘Hey, we're going to bet on ourselves,’” Ungar-Sargon said. “It's amazing to me that the Democrats are just kind of running away,” she added.

The Constitution has very little authority or relevance today. It’s better viewed as a museum artifact that was an incorporation document for a high trust society that all but died at least 60 years ago. We are rapidly descending to a low trust (third world) society in which written documents and rule of law have little relevance. If the founders were somehow transmitted to today’s era and tasked with implementing a government for our current society, they would most likely install a robust monarchy.

The democrats have used illegal aliens and sanctuary cities to harbor non-citizens for the purpose of having gaining votes and having them counted in the census. They do so in large part to gain additional congressional seats. You didn't actually believe that the left actually gives a sh*t about the welfare of and wanted those people in their cities, did you?

These are the same people who are now clutching their pearls and running away from governance because the other side is (legally) using the census as a way to add congressional seats.

I find it hypocritical.

Again I must ask. Who are you and what did you do with Septic?

This slide from world #1 is getting spectacularly ugly......

Instead of working on trying to stay ahead of China, we're doing this BS. Imagine if the legislatures actually did something besides power grabbing.

It’s astonishing anyone would believe that the illegal immigrant population hasn’t increased in 20 years.

Remember the Biden administration telling us illegal immigration was down when there were caravans of thousands crossing the border?
