As expected, Scotus released its verdict in *Louisiana v Callais*, and of course the 6-3 majority essentially tossed §2 of the 1965 VRA, freeing up several Southern states to demolish Black — and Hispanic majority Congressional districts, and put white voters — you know — "back in charge".
The only good news is that any change in re-gerrymandered districts probably won't be felt until the 2028 elections, but Red States having been planning this for a long while, so some may try to push wholly disaggregated districting ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Not a surprise, and Roberts handed the decision writeup to Alito, who delighted in the task at hand.
If there was ever a case for someone to get legal costs from DOJ for vindictive prosecution it would be Comey. For whatever he did, he does not deserve this. T***p deserves all of this and more when he leaves office.
SPLC is going to smack Dept. of injustice down in court. They are not some little yahoo group that doesn't know what they're doing. They have the receipts.
Anyone who didn't see the decision from the Supreme Court led by Alito, of course, on VRA2 have been asleep.

IDGAF about Comey. He bears as much responsibility as anyone for this. F*** him and the horse he rode in on.
