The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that found Texas’ 2026 congressional redistricting plan pushed by President Donald Trump likely discriminates on the basis of race.
The order signed by Justice Samuel Alito will remain in place at least for the next few days while the court considers whether to allow the new map favorable to Republicans to be used in the midterm elections.
The court’s conservative majority has blocked similar lower court rulings because they have come too close to elections.
With a partisan supreme court there can be nothing else but a direct march toward dictatorship. No longer the intellectual elite of the country, due to their collective money holes not being stuffed to capacity, they will bow to any king who can throw some gold at them.
