Hakeem Jeffries suggests Dems may pack SCOTUS to ‘deal with corrupt MAGA majority’

Jeffries said in an interview with Meidas Touch, "In the new Congress, we're going to have to do something about this Supreme Court. And let me be very clear, everything is on the table, everything to deal with this corrupt MAGA majority that is issuing political opinions that are designed to bolster the prospect of the Republican Party, and we will not allow them to succeed."

The court ruled 6-3 against a redrawn map in Louisiana, which was made with the purpose of adding a second black-majority district. Justice Samuel Alito wrote, "In sum, because the Voting Rights Act did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority-minority district, no compelling interest justified the State’s use of race in creating SB8. That map is an unconstitutional gerrymander, and its use would violate the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights."

In a concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote, "This Court should never have interpreted §2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to effectively give racial groups' an entitlement to roughly proportional representation.’" He added, "By doing so, the Court led legislatures and courts to 'systematically divid[e] the country into electoral districts along racial lines.'" He added, "Today’s decision should largely put an end to this 'disastrous misadventure' in voting-rights jurisprudence."

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry told GOP candidates for the House of Representatives over a phone call that he is suspending the primaries in order to redraw the congressional map.

The ruling, Landry said, "affirmed what we have said for years: drawing districts for political reasons is the States' prerogative, not a federal civil rights violation." Early voting was set to begin on Saturday.
