U.S. Supreme Court Unanimously Rejects Alabama’s Request for a Stay in U.S. House Districting Case

Posted on by September 26, 2023

On September 26, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously rejected Alabama’s request for a stay in Allen v Caster, 23A231.  This is the case over U.S. House district boundaries.  The legislature had refused to pass a plan providing for two distrricts with a majority Black majority, so the 3-judge U.S. District Court had then rejected the state’s districts and had said it would draw its own plan.

Alabama went all-out to get a stay from the U.S. Supreme Court.  Alabama obtained amicus curiae briefs on its side from the six Republican members of the U.S. House from Alabama, as well as from the national Repubklican Party, but to no avail.

  5. To get a unanimous rejection from this court is quite a feat. Clearly, they didn’t do their homework.

    They need to think more creatively. Why not propose electing all the Reps at large?

    Clearly, more creativity is needed. An alternative voting system should be proposed, along with at-large election. There are several from which to choose: approval, ranked choice, cumulative, and range voting are possibilities.

    MUST ATTACK ALL STONE AGE SMD LANGUAGE IN ALL CONSTS AND LAWS.

    TOTAL VOTES / TOTAL MEMBERS = EQUAL VOTES TO ELECT EACH

    1965 VRA IS A PERVERSION/SUBVERSION OF 15 AMDT – BLACK [WITH NOW HISPANIC] QUOTA ROT.

  16. @m,

    2 USC 2c is the current law. 2 USC 2 provided for a transition after redistricting.

    After Wesberry v Sanders, most states were found to be malapportioned. Federal courts were threatening to impose at-large elections (harmonizing statute for until redistricting). Congress reacted by requiring single member districts to be drawn immediately after reapportionment.

    This has led to the courts to enmeshed into redistricting.

    Congress being Congress failed to repeal 2 USC 2. SCOTUS being SCOTUS interpreted the two statutes as not being in conflict.

    It would be better to require congressional districts within a state to have equal citizen 18+ population within 5%, and to simply not seat a member from a district that was too small or too large.

    States would redistrict.

  17. NO DIRECT MENTION OF TOTAL USA REPS IN US CODE –

    MUST DECIPHER 1929 ACT REFERRING TO 1912 LAW – 435 REPS – TEMP ADDED HI/AK SEATS CIRCA 1960

  18. Adam, yes, it was inspired by AZ, but nevertheless true. You are correct, this was not the breakthrough case. Alabama was ahead of its time in the progression of the dark enlightenment. Our time will once again come, hopefully soon. The sinister leftist excesses of the Luciferian illuminati enlightenment will be curbed and Christian European traditional social order restored.

  19. Does federal law bar a candidate for US Rep from running in more than one district simultaneously?

    After all, there is no Constitutional requirement that a US Rep must be elected from the district of his state in which he resides.

  23. @WZ,

    See Texas Election Code 141.033 which bars candidacy for two or more offices which can not be held by a single person that are to be elected on the same day.

  24. Yes, but that’s not federal, and at least some states allow people to run for more than one office at the same time. Not sure about two districts of the same office.
