The Supreme Court refused to issue an emergency request to stop California from using its new Democrat-friendly Congressional map.
It’s not a surprise, though, because SCOTUS did the same thing regarding Texas’s new Congressional district map.
The California Republican Party sued Gov. Gavin Newsom over the map in the U.S. District Court in the Central District of California.
California voters overwhelmingly approved Prop 50, which will allow the Democrat-led legislature to redraw five Congressional districts.
The districts will flip to Democrats.
The coalition claims Prop 50 is unconstitutional.
“Specifically, the California Legislature violated the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution when it drew new congressional district lines based on race, specifically to favor Hispanic voters, without cause or evidence to justify it,” they argued.
The Republicans reminded everyone that the Court said basing districts on race contradicts the meaning behind the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments: race does not matter.
Like Texas, the case is not over. Both cases will likely reach SCOTUS after they go through the courts.
