Alabama has filed an emergency appeal in its congressional map case, a week after a three-judge panel struck down on the matter.
In a filing submitted on Monday, Alabama state officials asked the Supreme Court to freeze the lower court’s ruling by October 1st. State officials also noted that the ruling can be put on hold as late as October 3rd, when a lower court’s proceedings are scheduled to select court-drawn alternatives of the congressional map.
The filing comes hours after a three-judge panel denied the state’s request to pause their decision on its congressional map.
Here's a hot take - they lose the appeal and the court draws their new districts according to law…sorry, your fascisism has been denied.
I’m a functioning democracy, sure.
In this dumpster fire we call a country….they’re going to reuse the old map that was the problem from the get go.
"It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission".
Especially if your actions make it so that it becomes you yourself who can dole out the forgiveness.
That’s not a hot take at all. That’s almost certainly what’s going to happen.
