re: Louisiana congressional map creating new majority-Black district ruled unconstitutional

There are only six districts in the state.

Two of those have the Speaker of the House and the House Majority Leader.

One of those is a black majority seat.

Getting a second black majority seat means carving a district out of the ones currently held by Graves, Letlow, and Higgins. And Graves pissed off EVERYONE in power within the state over a variety of things, meaning he doesn’t have the cover to save his own arse.



If he had gotten Scalise or Johnson over the hump to be Speaker instead of backing McCarthy, he might have survived and it would have been Higgins taking the hit.
