"greenlights a last-minute republican gerrymander"

This is what I voted for.
--Boaz

It's interesting that whatever Constitutional argument worked to scuttle the Voting Rights Act in 2026, somehow it didn't work in 1965.

The meaning of the words in the Constitution itself must have dramatically changed during that sixty year span.

1. Can a white person be effectively represented by a black congressman?
2. Can a black person be effectively represented by a white congressman?
If your answer to either of these questions is "no" then you are the racist"

Can a white person be effectively represented by a Black President?
If your answer is "no" then you are the racist.

You answered "No," JeffJ.
The entire Republican Party answered "No."

"Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has been accused of relying on misleading, "fudged" data in a majority opinion that significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act."

We can't expect a Supreme Court Justice or his staff to verify crucial data on an issue affecting democracy itself!
You're also racist for believing that, by the way. Sorry, those are the rules now.

Separate districts, separate drinking fountains ... .segregation is racist.

So you're saying majority black districts made up of majority black communities is racism.
And majority white districts comprised of majority white communities is the same racism.
Those are separate districts, like separate water fountains, and thus racist.

So what should be done?
I guess the districts could be drawn differently.
Make the majority white districts have a few black areas in them
Make the majority black districts have a few white areas too.

By putting a Laser Beam Focus On Race, we can make the districting process Not Racist, Not Segregated.
There may have been a Federal Law which put in a framework that do something like that.
I'm not sure. Maybe you could ask a high school history teacher and get back to us.

You can't possibly defend your asinine arguments.
Not that anyone was expecting anything other than silly accusations from you!

Can a man be effectively represented by a woman?
Can a woman be effectively represented by a man?

90% of Republican Congressional Committee members are white.
85% of Republican Congressional Committee members are men.

Those numbers sure don't suggest Republicans think a woman can represent a man, but a man can represent a woman.

These numbers show a white Republican very often represent a black man.
but a black Republican only very rarely represent a white man.

"because of something that was done to them by NONE of us."

What exactly was done to them, and how can you be so sure none of us did it?

For example, you routinely call me and the rest of the libs racist.

But you just said I and the rest of the libs haven't done anything to black people.

So what's it gonna be?

your ancestors (and most recent relatives) still put gays to death. At least my ancestors evolved into something better.

You only use "gay" as an insult, but not a reason to kill someone?

I don't believe it. I think you would be fine killing the gays and the coloreds if you asked "Mother, May I?" and Trump said "Yes."

You seem like the kind of person who leaves your garage door open, and lays in wait hoping to ambush murder a high school kid pranking the neighborhood.

And we could only hope that your wife-beating dad would ultimately be punished for his crimes.

LOL dude.
The projection here is worthy of IMAX.

"the Republican Party was alerted by a demographer that somewhere along the timeline, perhaps in 2045, we whites are not going to be in the majority"

Oh you mean The Great Replacement!

Hey Republicans:
Why worry if Whites are a minority group.
Do minority groups get treated poorly in this country?
