U.S. Supreme Court Rules Against Virginia House of Delegates, in Racial Gerrymander Case

On June 17, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Virginia House of Delegates does not have standing to appeal its loss in a racial gerrymander case. The lower court had invalidated the boundaries of eleven House of Delegates districts, because it determined they involved a racial gerrymander. Afterwards, the state (which has a Democratic Governor and a Democratic Attorney General) chose not to appeal. But the Virginia House, which has a Republican majority, did appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

But the U.S. Supreme Court said the House, all by itself, doesn’t have standing; it does not represent the entire state government. Virginia House of Delegates v Bethune-Hill. Therefore, the lower court decision stands. Here is the decision, which is written by Ruth Ginsburg.

  1. More mindless idiocy.

    IF/when a local part of a state [county, city, township, etc.] or any state/local officer appeals something, it is NOT the entire **State**.

    1/2 or less [plurality] votes x 1/2 [bare majority] rigged packed / cracked gerrymander districts = 1/4 or less CONTROL

    = ANTI-Democracy MINORITY RULE O-L-I-G-A-R-C-H-Y

    — with always lurking TYRANT MONARCHS – STALINS/HITLERS.

    Much, much, much worse primary extremist math.

    PR and AppV — regardless of ALL MORONS — esp SCOTUS HACK super-MORONS.

  2. ALSO THE NEW AGE SCOTUS MORONS APPARENTLY ARE TOO STUPID TO NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALLEGED FEDERAL LAW VIOLATIONS AND ALLEGED STATE LAW VIOLATIONS.

  3. Mere 400 years of minority rule gerrymanders in VA – since 1618 creation of olde VA House of Burgesses

    gerrymander plantation districts along James River >> later VA H Dels.

    Same gerrymander R-O-T in all early Brit colonies after the Brit adult males / voters stopped meeting in person.

    1619 — first black slaves into VA — nonstop racial stuff since.

    PR and AppV — OR Civil WAR II — tyrant monarchy — as in rotted Middle East regimes of death and destruction for thousands of years.

  4. 15th Amdt — built on 14-2 — panic in Jan-Feb 1869 after close election of US Grant in Nov. 1868.

    Definition of Voter — NOT results.

    Too many corrupt evil usual suspects to count since 1965 VRA — esp SCOTUS racist hacks.

  5. Source of the gerrymander ROT — the Brits in the 1200s DARK AGE.

  6. How many mentions of *State* in the dead USA Const ???

    State = State fictional public corporate person AND ALL State/Local officials.

    Too many SCOTUS Const Law MORONS to count — esp in *politics* cases.

  7. AND all Local fictional public corporate persons.

    Sorry – NO local sub-State independent empires [YET] — NY City, SF, etc.
