Supreme Court of the United States Sparks Nationwide Debate With Major New Decision

追加: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]the conservative justices frankly just went back on what they had done in the in the Alabama case. Remember the Milligan case? Well, they freed up the state of Alabama to use a map that did not comply with their own ruling and which a federal court found didn't comply with their own ruling. You know, Brian, it's one thing for them to prospectively say that the law isn't what we all understood it to be. It's it's one thing for them to say that you know, the test we've approved all along turns out not to be the test that that's going to be going forward. That's shameful.

And now, you know, the conservatives on the Supreme Court are like, well, of course we need to implement this immediately because this is because these are otherwise unconstitutional maps.

And so whether you're looking at it through the prism of race or you're looking at it through the prism of party, which obviously is very overlapping in this case, that is the reality of what this decision says. And as a litigator, like it's a challenge. I mean, I'll be honest with you, it is not an easy situation to know how to navigate the federal courts when there is one rule that seems to apply when it's Democrats, when you know, we're probably in the Supreme Court telling anything that gets changed now for for for November is probably too late if if it's me and Democrats who are saying that something's unconstitutional, whereas I suspect the Republican Party, the my Republican lawyer counterparts,
