Supreme Court Just Signalled GOPs Gambit Against Gavin Newsom WILL FAIL
Blistering Dissent Warns of Serious Consequences as Supreme Court Allows Texas Election Maps
Bad Sign Supreme Court Under Fire For Failing The Country With Latest Order Allowing Trump to CHEAT
MSRAW 5 DEC 2025
Legal experts bashed the Supreme Courts unsigned order on Thursday that allows Texas to use an election map that significantly favours Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court reversed a lower courts order prohibiting Texas from using the map state Republicans created during a special session that eliminated five Democratic districts. The lower court found the map constituted a racial gerrymander, meaning that it considered the race of voters when lawmakers were outlining the districts.
The majority said in their opinion that the lower court committed two serious errors in its opinion by not showing enough deference to Texas legislative good faith and failing to articulate an adverse impact on the plaintiffs.
Three Supreme Court justices issued a blistering dissent on Thursday to yet another unsigned order from the high court.
The new map is designed to eliminate five Democrat-controlled districts, but a lower court ruled that the map was a racial gerrymander, which violates the 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution.
Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a scathing dissent that argued the court had lost sight of its purpose
