Title: SCOTUS unanimously rejects Texas Dem judge's redistricting interference
Post by: IronDioPriest on January 20, 2012, 11:27:50 AM
Supreme Court unanimously tosses judicial-drawn redistricting in Texas (http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20120120/pl_nm/us_usa_politics_texas)

Democrats in Texas lost a big battle at the Supreme Court today, and lost it big, too.  Democrats sued to stop a legislative effort at redistricting that was controlled by Republicans in the state, and had won at the district court level.  The judge in the case selected new maps that favored Democrats in the effort to create the four new House districts allocated to the state through reapportionment following last year’s census.  Texas Republicans challenged that decision — and won a unanimous decision that now demands a resolution of the underlying lawsuit quickly...

Per Rush, the map drawn by Republicans will stand until it is decided.

A result of the Voting Rights Act is that only certain states, mostly Southern ones, have to go begging to the Feds for permission to do anything in their states regarding elections.  The Act was passed in the mid-60s as a reaction to Jim Crow laws.  That was over 40 years ago.  It's time for this nonsense to end.

Reconstruction has never ceased and it will not until
the South has been homogenized.  That's why what
is reported as belligerence is in reality born in defense
of sovereignty.  Are we not all sovereign?

Apparently some of us are more sovereign than others.

Last year, the DOJ refused to allow Kinston, NC to drop the Dem/Rep designator for their local elections; unspoken was the belief that Blacks there are too stupid to know who to vote for -- the Democrat -- without being told.

There's that liberal bigotry of low expectations rearing its racist head again.

"Elections have consequences"

On a slightly less sweet note the Republican Party of Washington State is going to have to sue the state to prevent the dhimmicrats from taking over the party. What, you say?!

Washington adopted a "top two" election schema. That means the top two finishers in any race - regardless of party affiliation - advance to the general election. In a dhimmicrat-dominated region that commonly means two dhimmicrats pulling more votes than a single pubbie.

An unintended consequence to this rule is that if enough dhimmicrats show up for a Republican party event, they can (in theory at least) vote themselves into district PCO positions. The bastards can invade our party and conduct mayhem in a circumstance where they have no business and no legitimate interest.

The Superior court has given them the nod so it's off to the state supremes (majority dhimmi).

Rats!  ::gaah::

The Socialist Democrat Party has actively been trying
to smother Liberty to death in Washington.  If there's
anything we can do to help Liberty's cause let us know.

Ya'll need to take some of that to the Supremes and
put the brakes on that machine.

There is no doubt that the Leftists will rule with hegemony whenever and wherever they can. What you describe is un-American and unconscionable. In other words, typical of the Left.
