1. What bullshit

According to the opinion, “even assuming that Governor DeSantis acted with some unlawful discriminatory motive in creating and proposing the redistricting map that was ultimately enacted into law,” the plaintiffs did not adequately prove that the Legislature “had a similar motive in adopting and passing that map.”

Even if the map is racist, it's okay as long as the Legislature was only rubber stamping everything the Governor wants.

What did they need? Someone saying we need to keep black people out of government?

2. I wonder who appointed those Fed Judges?

I hope it's Appealed and struck down.

3. It was unanimous and there was one Obama appointee.

They can appeal directly to the Supreme Court. Not sure if the Supreme Court will do any favors here.

4. Thanks... I'm surprised one is an Obama

appointee.

Oh yeah if they have to appeal next to The SC.. I don't see that happening either.
