SCOTUS oks Texas gerrymander. Bets on how they decide on California's? [View all]

Texas’ gerrymander was proposed and approved by their heavily Republican legislature. No input from the citizens whose districts would be altered. The California redistricting was a proposition approved overwhelmingly by a vote of California’s citizens.

I’m betting the California Republican’s Hail Mary or the Trump DOJ’s attempts to have courts throw out the results of the vote will eventually make it to the Supreme Court. SCOTUS will then put a stay on implementation of the redistricting until the full court can rule on the issues—which they won’t do until after the midterms.

I think it’s a pretty safe bet. The Roberts court is clearly in the bag for Trump and the defenestration of the Constitution. They’ll do anything to prop him up.
