“A president and his party that have open contempt for democracy” You hit that nail on the head

SCOTUS is all that matters because trump will force every case to them. They are proving to be ideologically corrupt due to their allegiance to power and control. They keep defying logic to rule in trump's favor without explanation.

This is something people need to understand. The Supreme Court doesn't hear state gerrymandering cases because all elections are state run. These cases are not federal cases, and state Supreme Courts will hear them, and these maps have to be finished by the end of the year so that ballots can be printed in time for 2026 primaries, so NO, the federal Supreme Court will not hear these cases.----Jason

Wow...I did not realize this info but as soon as I read your comment I realized how right you are. Elections are a State matter so they can't be pushed to SCOTUS means that don could lose repeatedly or we find out which state Supreme Courts are in the tank for don. I can't help but be suspicious but the information helps balance perspective a bit.

I believe the Democratic Party has the right to respond. Trump have made some terrible decisions in his 2nd term. With the help of the GOPs majority. In both the House and Senate. Since the GOPs senate and congress have no backbone. Is up to states democrats to fight back. In order to save the check and balance system. Which is part of the constitution. Giving American voters the right to choose. Health care, education, social security and helping the less fortunate. I am talking about all Americans. Trump just want to help the wealthiest who support his policies. I’m not against all wealthy. Some of them don’t agree with Trump

The Democrats must keep the argument to racial gerrymandering or a violation of state constitutions. SCOTUS already ruled that political gerrymandering isn’t a matter for the federal courts.

Why is Holder in the picture? He wrote a memo that said that CEO’s and upper level management at companies shouldn’t have to go to jail for their collective criminal behavior because that might damage a company into bankruptcy and that would be awful!!! That is why no bankers went to jail for their collective criminal 2008 meltdown. That is why no one has gone to jail for the OxyContin disaster. That is why Rick Scott did not go to jail for his hospital group stealing millions from Medicaid and Medicare. That is why Lilly and Pfizer have only had to pay fines. But that memo was written after Enron went out of business and after Arthur Anderson went out of business for fucking with energy prices and cooking the books to cover up the energy price scandal!!!! Which one would you pick if you had to do it over again!!! I would pick the before where the principles went to jail!!!!
