      They have until Dec 6th to get the Supreme Court to overrule it.

      It would be beyond hilarious if Texas’s mal fails but California’s map stands.

      Does this mean the California redistrict will halt? Wasn’t the ballot initiative dependent on Texas going though with the redistrict?

      Lol. Lmao, even. Now imagine if California’s gerrymandered map ~~passes~~ isn’t challenged by courts.

      > The ruling, signed by Judge Jeffrey Brown, who was nominated by President Donald Trump

      Thankfully, Trump doesn’t have total control of the lower courts

      >Plaintiffs pointed to a letter sent by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) urging state leaders to redraw because of concerns about race-based districts in the state’s existing map. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) cited the letter in announcing the redraw. He again referenced the DOJ’s legal argument when he was asked in a TV interview about why he called for the state to redistrict.

      >Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R) also spoke of “concerns raised by the Department of Justice” when the legislature passed the map.

      Literally the only thing you can’t do in gerrymander is intentionally dilute minority votes and they flat out admitted they did
