Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan warned that the Supreme Court’s decision in the Texas redistricting case will lead to a “violation of the Constitution” of voter rights.

The Supreme Court issued an unsigned decision in favor of freezing the initial 2-1 U.S. federal court ruling against Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s proposed redistricting map, a stay that could help Republicans pick up five additional U.S. House seats in next year’s midterms.

“This Court’s stay ensures that many Texas citizens, for no good reason, will be placed in electoral districts because of their race,” Kagan wrote in her dissent. “And that result, as this Court has pronounced year in and year out, is a violation of the Constitution.”

    I think the ship has sailed. The Supreme Court gave Trump full immunity and he usurped all the power already. Even if Democrats win next year Trump and SP will just keep doing what they are doing while working hard on stealing the next presidential elections. Best case scenario Democrats will win and do nothing for couple of years while Republicans prepare the final assault on democracy.
