What happens when Alabama draws the districts wrong again?
From the article,
Federal judges said Tuesday that they will draft new congressional lines for Alabama ... A special master will be tapped to draw new districts for the state, the judges said. Alabama is expected to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
So, unless the Supreme Court overturns this ruling, they won't get that option.
Yup, it’s out of their hands. Plus this map was originally thrown out by SCOTUS, so I doubt they’re going to overturn what is basically their own ruling made a few months ago.
One of the few things that unites judges of every political persuasion is that they really, really hate it when people disobey court orders.
Are they gonna throw the state of Alabama in jail for contempt? I wouldn't put it past the assholes who drew the map to just eat any fines because they want to be racist.
We're in a strange new world where authority yields to party over country. It's ingrained so well now that it'll get a lot worse before people rise up to regain country over party.
