The Supreme Court dismissed a challenge to Texas state legislative maps that critics say intentionally dilute minority voting power and result in an illegal racial gerrymander.

At the center of the dispute is Senate District 10, which is centered in Fort Worth in Tarrant County. Challengers argued the map was redrawn to make it more Republican and “more Anglo.

” A panel of three judges on a district court conducted four days of hearings and held that although the new state Senate map may “disproportionately affect minority voters” in Tarrant County, and although the legislature may have given “pretextual reasons” for its redistricting decisions, the challengers could point to no evidence indicating that the legislature’s “true intent was racial.

No surprises here…

Way to go texas 👏 keep her RED

I'd like to know why the Supreme court rushed to screw the Republicans by overturning Roe vs Wade right before the 2022 election and who pushed for it

Good for the Supreme Court for a change.

The left dont want any thing that is legal ! They only spew out lies ! The court is intended to make known the meaning of the law that’s there job! Its written our constitution !

Guess they never learned, that in America, the MAJORITY is supposed to rule. It's strange that the LGBTXYZ group, of 10%, THINK that they are supposed to!

Only democrats are allowed to rig legislative maps. What were they thinking?

BREAKING NEWS: The Twitter employees Elon Musk fired are struggling to find new jobs because all of the offers they are getting involve actual work.

It’s funny how people claim the court is illegitimate and when they disagree with a decision and say the court needs to changed so it will agree with them. That is ultimate gerrymandering

Are who exactly are these experts?

Everything's bigger in Texass! 🤪

Wow. SCOTUS Not surprising at all considering your overt bias and the fact that you have two? criminals on the bench who have both evaded prosecution because of their position? One for not recusing himself when his bias was evidentspouse The other for leaking court info

Live in Texas. And you can just look at my district and tell it’s gerrymandered for votes.

You leftist scum media never want to report on the real problems.

FucKKK that far-wrong pure-white-traSSh-KKKracKKKa-forged+forced-SSupremaciSSt KKKangaroo KKKourt!!!

SCOTUS just carrying water for fascists.

Don't expect this 'Supreme Court' (excepting the three actually impartial justices) to take any steps to promote fairness in voting where it comes to GOP states gerrymandering to keep power in Republican hands. They've shown they'll support even illegal matters to that end.

Gerrymandering MUST be done away with!!

One person one vote

Sensible choice by the court. There is very little law in the US.

Our Supreme Court is corrupt.

Funny how aoc blamed their losses in new York on not being able to gerrymander. But yet liberals claim it's wrong

Awesome. Hopefully it keeps texas red

We're on our own America The corrupt court is useless.

Of course

Supreme Court has been bought and paid for.

We see you Supreme Court

They don’t want the state Turing into a California can’t blame them. Being able to afford to live In a state is what a lot people want…

Of course the supreme court is going to agree with the gqp

The repressive forces of the Islamic Republic in Kurdistan have attacked the protesters with doshka weapons and other weapons of war, such as sniper rifles, and are genocidaling Kurdistan citizens, be the voice of Kurdistan.

Ok Dems carve the hell out of Pennsylvania and Michigan! You have the ball!

The far right supreme court is full of corruption 🤔🙄🇺🇸

IRGC is using “nerve agent” on people of Iran in Javanrud,besides all the different weapons. They also shut down the internet access and massive massacres are happening in Kurd cities of Iran as I am writing this tweet. We need immediate help. This needs to stop NOW mahsaamini

😡and the far right is at work again and the Supreme is not a balanced court, in fact very biased. Time for some replacements and retirements

CNN lies!!

The Supreme Court is a joke!

BREAKING NEWS: Iranian police forces and mobilization forces are hurling nerve bombs against innocent citizens. MahsaAmini OpIran cnni OPCW CanadaOPCW مهسا_امینی جوانرود پیرانشهر

And THIS is why republicans are smarter then the oligarchy dems. They played the long game. They KNEW they were losing the popular vote so they HAD to gerrymander and make sure the courts would uphold it.

Couldn't bare to investigate a truth?

Of course the illegitimate unsupreme court would side with the magna

This is why Supreme Court must have Term limits or increase the size

You really should stop calling it the Supreme Court. The Extreme Far-Right Court sounds much much better. PalmerReport©

Of course the did. The Roberts court will be studied for centuries as a complete joke.

The south is sure trying to rise again. Poor Texas. My dad was a Texan. Glad he joined the military and left.

Yes

Good.

Of course they do. Their ruler is coming back in power so they need to appease him.

Of course they did

Was anyone surprised?

Of course they do. Why am I not surprised? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

What else is new. It has been so political with the cult additions that there is no respect for it.

Does CNN think a particular congressional seat belongs to a particular race? That's weird.

Because the 5 of the justices are republicans and we see that Thomas and Alito is all about winning at any cost even going against the law

Now do blue states.

This is crazy, because... Redistricting literally divided the voting power. The fact that the court dismissed this is alarming. THE ENTIRE REASONING FOR REDISTRICTING IS TO DRAW IT UP IN YOUR FAVOR. Look at the voting results before and after redistricting.

If course they did who couldn't figure that one out. Supreme court is not so supreme any more.

Typical Trump court decision.

So the justices acknowledged that it certainly looks bad but since nobody can PROVE it was racially motivated nothing can be done? Seems if you can show it’s hurting a racial group that should be enough.

They support racial rigging of districts to disenfranchise minority voters! Also they're going to approve ISTL later this term. Remember when they didn't strike down TX 6 week abortion ban, because they were gonna overturn Roe later in that term? EXACTLY the same kind of thing!

Racism, right CNN?

Can not imagine why. . . The supremecourt has been hijacked by right wing fascist

The Court is illegitimate.

The Supreme Court is corrupt

Congress enables gerrymandering by having too few Representatives, explained here…

Didn't expect anything different

Thought the last supreme court justice was going to make a difference

This is all the more reason for Democrats to expand the Supreme Court now!

Well...of course they did🤦‍♀️

That's why they get so mad! They cheat by gerrymandering, then when they can't win that way, they say the democrats must've been better at cheating!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😥👢No good, but expected with this court.

Time to expand the court or impeach the justices that lied under oath during their confirmation hearings.

1st floor Rodney/Gerry

Any law that does not give preference to POC over Whites is racist. Or, at least that seems to be what the left believes.

FAKE NEWS! Jeez ... for real! This is NOT real News!

CNN = Fraudulent news with an agenda!

The SCOTUS is not at all concerned with fairness.

The US is a failed state. The people no longer have power.

Hey CNN,🖕🖕..

Of course they did! Hell, the SCROTUS6 are illegally gerrymandered!

White. Supremacy. Is. Alive. And. Well.

I remember talking to my trump supporting family and friends in 2015 and mentioning that if trump was elected he would take the country back 50 years. I need to correct that to 100 years.

Not my Supreme Court it’s tRumps

SCOTUS doing right wing’s bidding is an awful look.

Expand the court!

Just ban the fucking gerrymandering already! Jeez, how hard can it be?

On a different topic. You can stop sharing the story of the selfish couple adopting embryos when there are living children in orphanages that need loving homes. That story made me sick! Selfish people trying to sound like heroes while putting embryos over living children!

SCOTUS isn’t a legitimate court any longer. Not after multiple seats were stolen by a party that tried to overthrow our democracy.

Expand the court before our democracy dies!

Love this! I think everyone knows how to vote at this point. Get there if it’s important to you. I bet if they were giving out more stimulus checks they’d find a way

Just guessing the vote was 6-3?

Is anyone surprised?

Of course they did..... 🤬

And then they wonder why people question the integrity of the Court and lose confidence in it. 🙄

Good news...

States rights are a bitch

Of course they did

HAHAHAHAHA YOU GUYS REALLY LISTEN TO CNN OR EVEN FOX? THEY ARE ALL OWNED BY THE SAME PERSON. WAKE UP AMERICA, LEFT , RIGHT, UP , DOWN , DIC OR NO DIC. they keep us divided so they can take our money. Wake up people. The media lies to us ALL

Allito probably leaked out their decision weeks ago to his right wing friends

Of course they did -we are now hostage to this court!

RacistSupremeCourt

There must be a different alternative in choosing Justice's. The highest Court in the land has no credibility at this point.

At this point a insurrection was and is needed , because this country always disregards what the people want .

Gerrymandering, voting on tuesday without federal holiday, voter supression, electoral college, what a democracy!

We already know the court is a complete joke. Nothing they do is surprising at this point.

Such a shame, America police’s the world, yet their Supreme Court is Political Activists.

SCOTUS Pukeus

Banana republic!

How else are they going to win House seats? By broadening their appeal with less culture war crap to take on real problems facing Americans like debt & healthcare?

As expected from a corrupt, FASCIST court. USSupremeCourt

Well we know who SCOTUS prefers!

Time to add 2 justices.

I’m shocked! 🙄

“De facto” effect.

Of course they did. They know R’z can’t win any other way.

SupportP2P1Pakistan

no because of course lmao

You're ok when states redistrict when it favors Democrats, yet you're not ok with it favoring Republicans.

🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

Of course, the right white wing court would do this. The Supreme Court is part of the destruction of American democracy than anyone else . I suppose this is a shadow docket, one behind closed doors, hidden away from the American people.

they have been doing this over and over. Ignoring racially based gerrymandering. Why?

Illegitimate SCOTUS shows its bias.

And America will like to lecture Qatar on ethics.

Of course they did

Some critics say one thing and other critics say another.

Really hard to believe- look at Austin alone- totally gerrymandered

The Roberts court has made it clear they don’t see racist gerrymandering as something to be fixed, but rather the appropriate expression of state’s power. He killed the VRA for a reason, and stuff like this is why.

This one is not cheating, it’s just the legal way. 😉

Of course.

🙄 of course they did

With a conservative majority of course they did.

MAGA!

Thankss a millon
