U. S. District Judge Shelly Dick, who has ordered lawmakers to approve a new map with a second majority-Black district, issued her ruling after a 90-minute hearing.


I thought this was being appealed and would be stopped?

So did most R’s in the legislature.

The temporary stay by the 5th circuit was lifted. They will hear arguments July 8th.

She will get slapped down again by the LaSC. You cannot draw a map to create a district based on race. That’s illegal.

Equality, integration, no discrimination, etc

Now carve us out 2 districts. Reminds me of the lawsuit over having a minority judge district in Terrebonne Parish. Argument was no POC could when a parishwide election for judge. Juan Pickett was already a sitting judge. He ran unopposed so he didn’t count.

They do, but they do it without saying it. JBE, the slimy cocksucker, stated publicly that he wanted this done based on race. Every democrat involved has said the same thing. That’s illegal.

They want to chop Acadiana in half with Fields’ map.

Why does JBE & judge Dick hate Acadiana?

All of this is a waste of time and money, the entire 5th Circuit will shoot this down eventually.
