Meanwhile: Back at the ranch. Miller has been busy..

Behind all the colour and movement to distract americans, here is the real story. the final win for the Heritage foundation. And its a done deal. The Sureme court. (Yes. that fair minded bastion of justice) is about to set aside a decision and leave the road open to one party rule in America.. Too late to pack your bags now. I did wonder how the right was going to deal with the problem of voters in the mid terms. Now we know..😷

I'm pretty concerned about the Callais case, but that's a wonky link.

@MistyCee OK. Lets do this the old fashioned way (Copy from article)😷
The US Supreme Court appears set on striking down a key American law which could lead to the Republicans winning power - even if they lose.
The Supreme Court heared arguments on Wednesday, US time, about voting rights. The conservative-packed court appeared sympathetic to striking down a law which had ensured some Democrat representation even in Republican majority states.

Critics have said the court’s decision could “cement one party control” of the US House of Representatives for the Republicans.
Supreme Court set to 'cement one party control'

The US Supreme Court seemed sympathetic to arguments on Wednesday, US time, that critics say could cement Republican control over the House of Representatives even if the party doesn’t win a majority -potentially even by next year’s crucial midterm elections.

All eyes are on whether the court’s right-wing majority will gut a six-decades-old law that boosted black voters’ participation and impact in elections.

Most US states heavily gerrymander their electorates with the party in power often drawing bizarre boundaries with little geographical relevance to boost their vote at the expense of the opposition. But the Voting Rights Act of 1965 has, to a extent, limited how far gerrymandering can go and has demanded representation for racial minorities.

That has led to some Republican majority states packing black voters into a small number of electorates, or “districts,” to meet the requirements of the act.

@whowasthatmaskedman Thanks. I dont know what the problem was with the link, but it resolved to a list for me.

I was hoping to listen to the argument today, but stuff came up, and I probably won't go back for the whole thing.

It's a bad case for Democrats, I'm afraid. SCOTUS might show some restraint, but this one is served up on a tee for a home run if they want to.
