What’s the SCOTUS connection?

I didn't know where to post. I thought we had a lawyers thread in the pit, but I couldn't find it.

I'm skeptical that this will lead to any real change on gerrymandering outside of this particular district in Alabama but still

They (Alabama) must be up to some pretty serious crap when even Kavanah is like nah I think I’ll be on the right side of history for this one

[sonofdaxjones]

#deflectobotsgE does not want to talk about their hyper gerry mandering strongholds, but instead want to congratulate Kav for passing history 001

I'd love to see a link showing districts gerrymandered unduly cutting representation of white republicans

Gerrymandering only exists in Southern Republican majority states . . . #blueanongE

Absolutely relentless: Now, with a 2024 rematch approaching, Democratic leaders in Washington and Albany are reviving a legal battle to reopen the mapmaking process and potentially pull the lines back in their direction

Democrats in Illinois, meanwhile, have done all they can to exert control and ensure it benefits their candidates for elections through 2030.

Shame on the democrats for gerrymandering those districts. I'm glad we agree that gerrymandering is undemocratic and needs to end, immediately.

Which is why I used the word “fantastic” about the SCOTUS decision in AL.

COMMON GROUND

[Pete]

FINALLY Harvard and other elite institutions can stop discriminating against Asians by limiting their numbers, despite the fact that their entrance scores are clearly superior and therefore those students are much better prepared.

I look forward to near-entirely-Asian graduating classes at the Ivy League schools very soon!

[Pete]

NO MORE FREE PASSES FOR LAZY WHITES WITH IMPERFECT SAT SCORES!!!!

[wetwillie]

Where did the Asians take Alito to get that decision?! I want answers.

[Kat Kid]

did they get rid of legacy admissions?

[Pete]

did they get rid of legacy admissions?

No, so there will still be some whites. But only the good ones from good stock. You know, like east coast liberal elite families.

I bet Harvard admissions officers would be able to tell the race of like 95% of applicants without even seeing the names! They will do whatever the hell they want!

Roberts, writing for the majority, said schools could still consider race, e.g., in an applicant's essay to show how they overcame prejudice or were inspired because of their race. So, this just makes what was already a black box process an even blacker box. It's unclear how much this decision will actually have an effect. And while the majority did not specifically overturn the landmark Grutter v. Bollinger case, Thomas in his concurrence said that decision was "effectively overruled" by this decision.
