Re-upping this explanation of the GOP's (incl. Chief Justice Roberts') long-term plan for eventually including a Census citizenship Q to permanently exclude non-citizens from Congressional representation (+ ensure GOP majorities for 1-2 more generations):
Also reupping this thread, re: a June 2018 case in which Thomas + Gorsuch said the VRA doesn't apply AT ALL to racist political tricks rigging the OUTCOME of an election, so long as the darkies are allowed to play at putting ballots in little boxes.
I'm serious: Thomas and Gorsuch believe that although minorities have the right to register, cast votes, + have those votes counted, they have ZERO right to have those votes actually be EFFECTIVE. ...
... According to Thomas + Gorsuch, racist (or partisan) redistricting, gerrymanders, etc. that make minority votes meaningless are perfectly lawful -- so long as they were allowed to (pretend to) "vote" by putting (meaningless) ballots in boxes: caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-cou…
...
Interpret today's gerrymandering decision in THAT context -- that voting is theater, encouraging minorities to believe they're participating in democracy even if they're not (which is a grand way to suppress the revolution) -- and you'll understand what REALLY happened today.
