The Neo-Confederate Supreme Court Gearing Up to Restore White Rule Over America

[jwoodie]

Carving up districts so large black and Latino populations have less voice in elections would certainly help GOP candidates.

HOW?

No answer incoming.

If you seriously don't know - you REALLY need to do some relevant research.

Little known fact: The Constitution requires equal Congressional districts based on the number of PERSONS (not voters or even citizens) in each district. In California, this has allowed Democrats to pack districts with illegal aliens to obtain the required number of "persons" without having to use up reliable Democrat voters, who can then be assigned to other districts. As a result, California has an inflated number of Congressional districts and disproportionate influence in Congress.

GOP desperation over U.S. demographic changes has spread to the U.S. Supreme Court -- a majority is ready to tear up the most important part of the Voting Rights Act.

If white rule in the United States is to be restored and sustained, then an important first step will be the decision of the five Neo-Confederate justices on the U.S. Supreme Court to gut the Voting Rights Act, a move that many court analysts now consider likely.

The Court’s striking down Section Five of the Voting Rights Act will mean that jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination in voting – mostly in the Old Confederacy – will be free to impose new obstacles to voting by African-Americans, Hispanics and other minorities without first having to submit the changes to a federal court.

Already, the Republicans’ aggressive gerrymandering of congressional districts has ensured a continued GOP majority in the U.S. House of Representatives although Democrats outpolled Republicans nationwide in Election 2012.This green light to renew Jim Crow laws also would come at a time when Republican legislatures and governors across the country are devising new strategies for diluting the value of votes from minorities and urban dwellers in order to protect GOP power, especially within the federal government.

Some GOP-controlled states, which also have tended to vote Democratic in presidential elections, are now considering apportioning presidential electors according to these gerrymandered districts to give Republican presidential candidates most of the electoral votes even if they lose the state.

What do progressives hate more than anything? Anyone who is born white and older.... Why? Because to them that makes them old, "eeeww," and white, "scream!!"

Worse yet, many of them live in the South.

It's enough to scare the hell out of you.

They’re more neolithic than neo-Confederate.

It's puzzling that SCOTUS would choose to just ignore the obvious racism that still exists in America - specifically relating to voting rights. The ugly racist beast is still alive and well.

I have the easiest solution to this problem for African Americans.

Share this video with them, then tell them all to get guns.

Seems like i've seen that argument before somewhere.... oh, right!

"Anti-Semitism on purely emotional grounds will find its ultimate expression in the form of pogroms. Rational anti-semitism, however, must lead to a systematic legal opposition and elimination of the special privileges which Jews hold"

Since there are an equal number of liberal judges on the SC I doubt ShittingBull will have to worry much about a "neo-conservative" take over of the SC.

Jesus he/she/its an idiot.

I'm increasingly coming to the opinion that democracratic republics can thrive only when there is an agreed-upon zeitgeist within the supermajority of citizens.

And I suspect that the reason this nation is unraveling is because there is no supermajority POV about how this nation ought to conduct itself.

The OP is clueless.

WASHINGTON -– Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Friday that he was "absolutely shocked" to hear Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia describe a key piece of the Voting Rights Act, one of the most significant achievements of the civil rights movement, as a "perpetuation of racial entitlement" earlier this week.

Hence the word "neo"...

Your party is the racist slave loving party. You love illegal’s because they work for near nothing, you tried to hold onto slavery and caused a civil war... You prove on these boards everyday you care more about the skin color of the people involved than the actual issue at hand.

Whoooaa The Civil War wasn't between Republicans and Democrats; it was between the north and the south. Now granted, the south in those days was largely Demcorat, that is no longer the case. Now, the south is largely Republican. And the south has always been largely Conservative.

Your fucking title is racist, get over yourself. You're not clever, you’re a dying breed of politically inferior lemmings. You hate Republicans for the same policies you would lay someone else life on the line to protect under a Democrat President. You're sub-human, you're meaningless, you are a bottom feeder whose sole purpose in debate is to latch on to gullible people fears, exploit their lack of knowledge of history and current day issues, then Troll the rest. You do not exists outside of the internet because people would reject you by the masses.

You simply take the place of other failed trolls on these forums as they becomes nothing more than sideshow jokes, like TM, RW, Blacklable, franhasHPV, Shaman, Dante, Chris and so on. You have no answers, only blind hate and inconstant blame.

If Democrats are the racists, how come there isn't one single black elected to the U.S. Congress? Seems to me, Republicans/Conservatives don't like electing blacks to Congress.
