Kavanaugh Caves: SCOTUS Rules In Favor Of Democrats Election Maps in North Carolina, Pennsylvania

“Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh sided with the liberal justices, saying he didn’t want to interfere in this year’s electoral process because it’s already underway.”

Failed again. We go to war for these spineless, gutless wonders and in the end, they cave. Clearly these cowards fear the left far more than they do abandoning their principles.

Just for knowing, I never had hopes for mid-terms. And seeing all these yokels crowing that the mid-terms gonna save us. After what we witnessed in 2020, how can anyone remain so deluded. Gerrymandered maps, Zuckerberg boxes and a new variant a couple weeks before which requires massive mail-in voting.

SCOTUS Rules In Favor Of Democrats Election Maps in North Carolina, Pennsylvania

By:  Martin Walsh, Conservative Brief, March 8, 2022:

The U.S. Supreme Court denied requests late on Monday night from Republicans challenging congressional maps in North Carolina and Pennsylvania that had been approved by politicized Democrat-controlled courts.

In a victory for Democrats, the nation’s highest court turned away efforts from Republicans in both battleground states to block state courted-ordered congressional districting plans.

The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch dissented from the action concerning North Carolina.

Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh sided with the liberal justices, saying he didn’t want to interfere in this year’s electoral process because it’s already underway.

In separate orders late Monday, the justices are allowing maps selected by each state’s Supreme Court to be in effect for the 2022 elections. Those maps are more favorable to Democrats than the ones drawn by the states’ legislatures.

As noted by Breitbart, this could be bad news for Republicans:

In North Carolina, the map most likely will give Democrats an additional House seat in 2023.

The Pennsylvania map also probably will lead to the election of more Democrats, the Republicans say, as the two parties battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections in November.

The justices provided no explanation for their actions, as is common in emergency applications on what is known as the “shadow docket.” While the high court did not stop the state court-ordered plans from being used in this year’s elections, four conservative justices indicated they want it to confront the issue that could dramatically limit the power of state courts over federal elections in the future. The Republicans argued that state courts lack the authority to second-guess legislatures’ decisions about the conduct of elections for Congress and the presidency.

“We will have to resolve this question sooner or later, and the sooner we do so, the better. This case presented a good opportunity to consider the issue, but unfortunately, the court has again found the occasion inopportune,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in a dissent from the Supreme Court’s order, joined by Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas.

Kavanaugh said he didn’t want to interfere in this year’s electoral process, which already is underway.

“The state courts were involved because of partisan wrangling and lawsuits over congressional redistricting in both states, where the legislatures are controlled by Republicans, the governors are Democrats and the state Supreme Courts have Democratic majorities,” Breitbart noted.

“Pennsylvania, with a delegation of nine Democrats and nine Republicans, is losing a seat in the House following the 2020 Census. Republicans said the map they came up with would elect nine Democrats and eight Republicans. State courts eventually stepped in and approved a map that probably will elect 10 Democrats, the GOP argued,” the outlet added.

Democrats may also benefit in North Carolina, too.

“North Carolina is picking up a seat in the House because of population gains. Republican majorities in the Legislature produced an initial plan most likely to result in 10 seats for Republicans and four for Democrats. The governor does not have veto power over redistricting plans in North Carolina. After Democrats sued, the state’s high court selected a map that likely will elect at least six Democrats,” Breitbart added.

While lawsuits are still continuing, the Supreme Court signaled this year’s elections for Congress in North Carolina and Pennsylvania would take place under the maps approved by the states’ top courts — which benefit Democrats.
