MicroWaveAlabama GOP refuses to draw second Black district, despite Supreme Court order
peopleproblemsI imagine the house GOP is thinking “What are you going to do about it.”
guess we’re at the fuck around and find out stage
The thing is, there’s nothing to find out. The SC (compromised as it is) says “no, you can’t do that”. The state government is saying “cool bro imma do it anyways”. If the feds impose a new map, what happens if the state just ignores it outright? Or any other measures intended to enforce this decision?
What are they gonna go, send in the military?
The funniest part of it is that this 100% has the potential to set up some sort of precedent for when the shoe is on the other foot. Like, if the Supreme Court orders CA to do something extremely shitty or anti-democratic, what happens if Newsom (or whoever is governor at that point) and the CA legislature just says “make me”?
Does it ever though it always seems rep do what they want, Dems don't do shit
Dems don’t ever do shit when there’s no precedent.
But when the door’s already open, it’s easier to walk through it.
