In a blow to Alabama Republicans, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that their proposed redistricting map, which aimed to create only one majority-Black district, violated voters’ civil liberties. Well, isn’t that just peachy? The court, for the second time in three months, cited a violation of the Voting Rights Act, as it seems they can’t resist sticking their nose where it doesn’t belong. Can’t a state exercise their right to redistrict without being hounded by these activist judges?
Now, the first ruling in June forced those hardworking lawmakers in Alabama to go back to the drawing board, only to come up with a new map that is still being litigated in lower courts. You would think they would learn their lesson, but nope, they still can’t seem to figure out how to draw more than one majority-Black district. They must really hate diversity and equality.
But wait, there’s more! Despite the fact that Alabama has a Black population of 27 percent, the new map again falls short of meeting the demands of the judicial overlords. According to one judge, at least one more majority-Black district is needed. Seriously? Why can’t these judges just let the state decide how it wants to allocate its districts? It’s called states’ rights, people!
BREAKING: SCOTUS Sides With Democrats In Major Ruling https://t.co/mdAOZPrQgS

The court ruling itself expressed shock at the audacity of Alabama’s lawmakers. They couldn’t find any other examples where a state, after being told by the federal courts to create an additional opportunity district, actually failed to provide one. Alabama Republicans seem to be blazing a trail in political incompetence. Bravo!
What’s really at stake here, my fellow conservatives, is the balance of power in Congress. Adding a second majority-Black district in Alabama, arguably the most conservative state in the nation, could potentially hand the Democrats control of the U.S. House. And we all know what that means – more government meddling, higher taxes, and a never-ending parade of liberal policies that strip away our freedoms and bankrupt our nation.
Imagine the horror of Speaker Kevin McCarthy being undermined even further by a Democratic majority, constantly at odds with his leadership style. And to top it all off, the Democrats are shamelessly using this opportunity to bargain with McCarthy, offering to end their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden if he complies. Talk about a Faustian bargain.
So here we are, my friends, witnessing yet another episode of liberal judicial activism undermining the will of the people. It’s time we stood up for states’ rights and the ability of elected officials to do their jobs without interference from unelected judges. Alabama Republicans may have suffered a setback, but we must not let this setback hold us back. Let’s take back control of Congress and ensure that our conservative values prevail.
