Such a good read. What I fear from the libs right now is going to be their extremism and violence that comes about when they realize they aren't on even ground. They make up less than half the country and yet they expect more than half of the representation in government. Looks like things are going to start normalizing with or without their participation though. Redistricting is going to start happening aggressively to undo years of race-based and racial-tension-fueling Democrat policies and actions. However, once proper congressional districting is back in place we'll see just how RED the country is. LFG!!! NCSWIC!!!
It definitely is, and one of the things I appreciate most about Childers is he recognizes this fact as well:
"If a legislature or city council carved out a special “minority opportunity” seat on a board of elections, a school board, a county clerk’s office, et cetera, and the design was openly about racial representation, as many of them explicitly were (virtue-signalers can’t help advertising their virtuous motives), all those just became lucrative targets for legal challenges."
Illinois has 17 representatives, 11 dems and 6 pubs. It's a state that is about 47/53 republican to democrat; although that's with our notorious cheating. The gerrymandering in this state in sever. Of the 102 counties, 3 of them are blue counties and 99 are red.
Democrats are looking at structural disadvantages that feel insurmountable.” Like Wile E. Coyote, they looked down, saw only empty space, and are now at the stage of holding up a small sign that says ‘uh-oh.’
I found the article quite enlightening. Author discusses those things - how they came about and what effect this ruling will have on them. Sorry you missed the substance and only found fluff....
I did answer you. I replied to your snark. The answers are all in the post you denigrated. If you didn't have time to read it, or didn't follow it, say that. Why insult the author?
Fourth —and possibly most significant of all— even though Louisiana v. Callais explicitly applies to congressional districts and the VRA’s Section 2, its logic could ripple throughout all other state and local offices, too. Section 2 doesn’t only apply to Congress. Anyplace where blue states have rigged the game using race as an excuse —city councilmen, county clerks, library board members, mosquito control board— will now be fair game for local lawfare challenging any racial scale-tipping.
That is copied/pasted from the article. You want to berate me for not handing you answers on a silver platter, yet they are in the article, plain as day. I grant you, author is very wordy, but he was thorough.
I read the opinion. The legislative body will use regular old political partisanship to rig districts as they see fit. As long as they don't rig them by race, the legislative body has sole and final say.
The Civil Rights dept of DOJ will actively go after areas that used race as the primary factor in drawing districts. Will affect single member districts, positions created solely for minorities, etc. It should greatly help lower ballot races and positions - think school boards, library boards, etc.

The democrats are watching the midterms fade fast. And they are getting scared that they will be out of power for 50+ years.
You spelled 1000 years wrong.
They did spell eternity wrong. I noticed that too!
Not soon enough for me.
nor long enough...
Hoping they die and we never hear from them again.
So now the White Hats have got the libtards fighting for racism.
This movie is definitely a comedy.

a Wile E. Coyote watcher. :)
You nailed it.
So, I found the article to be a little to full of fluff and references and it made it hard for me to fully understand what's happening.
Districts will now need to be drawn based on what? Regular shapes, or by city or county lines?
And how exactly was it saying it effected council seats and such? These positions were being filled based on race representation demographics?

That's very nice for you, too bad you found answering my question to be beyond your abilities even though you have the answer.

So it's just standing to sue if suspected of going by race?
