This decision was seen as a win for Pubs. - limenats MU - 6/27 21:41:13

Only by the completely uninformed media. The Dems - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 21:45:25

I don't disagree with that. - limenats MU - 6/27 21:46:26

And Texas can make sure no Dem is ever sent. - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 21:50:32

I live in a fantasy world? - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 22:25:05

Pubs are dumb. Let's leave it at that since it's - limenats MU - 6/27 22:30:24

What those maps all leave out - MrBlueSky MU - 6/27 22:25:49

And every one of those red states get TWO senators just like - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 22:34:01

what is a "blue state"? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 6/27 22:21:59

what is a "blue state"? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 6/27 22:30:10

One where the predominant voter isn't an uneducated - limenats MU - 6/27 22:33:24

Funny, according to this the least literate state is CA. - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 22:46:26

So you were too dumb to understand the question I asked? - limenats MU - 6/27 23:40:34

My mistake. I assumed you were intelligent enough to - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 23:47:05

Nope. You were too dumb to understand the question. - limenats MU - 6/27 23:48:03

Why are you lying and avoiding a simple question? What - 90Tiger STL - 6/27 22:35:51

Not true. You have to create districts that are majority - Floyd Turbo 99 - 6/27 21:52:06

Who says you have to create minority districts? So you are - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 21:59:41

No, I'm telling you it is federal law that - Floyd Turbo 99 - 6/27 22:04:06

Do you think this new ruling has no impact on those rules? - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 22:15:47

Except on the basis of race because that's Constitutional. - limenats MU - 6/27 22:18:55

Equal representation does NOT mean you have to create - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 22:28:53

The GOP is full of dumb, white voters. The Dem party - limenats MU - 6/27 22:32:26

"smart white voters and.. .minorities". So awesome (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 6/27 22:36:50

Have you read that bill? - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/27 22:41:42

Racial gerrymandering is something the scotus - MrBlueSky MU - 6/27 22:01:05

They could have done that yesterday(nm) - Bulldog Bob Brown STL - 6/27 21:39:44

Yesterday, the SC could have overturned it. - limenats MU - 6/27 21:41:47

Sounds like they wouldn't have based on today - Bulldog Bob Brown STL - 6/27 21:43:28

They bowed out. - limenats MU - 6/27 21:44:36
