Congress passed laws in the civil rights era to combat Jim Crow laws regarding elections. Southern states now have to get their gerrymandering approved by the federal government, to this day, all these years later. It's constitutional because congress passed it, the president signed it, it is law.

It was a 5-3 ruling. Trump should have put Southerners like Bill Pryor, Andrew Brasher and Keith Blackwell on SCOTUS instead of a bunch of Yankees. The current court is not as conservative as it could be.

Clearly Cleo fields has some extremely compromising pictures of Jeff Landry. This makes no sense at all. This will have major local and national impact

Governor wanted this shite to go away.
Making the map they did was to prevent the judge from making a map to use instead of the legislature’s map.

Alabama just did the same thing I believe with the second congressional district of Alabama. May have been the 3rd. I don't remember.

The Governor put personal politics ahead of what’s best for our state.

Gerrymandering is wrong no matter how u slice it., they should challenge the original law

During the gubernatorial election last year, Cleo Fields backroom-dealed his way with Jeff Landry to ensure that Jeff Landry would have a majority black district drawn favorable to him if he would run.
Cleo Fields basically backed off on publicly supporting Shawn Wilson to ensure that Jeff Landry would win the governor's race without going to a runoff, and the payback was Landry not opposing an additional majority black Congressional district.
You should go and view the Senate and Governmental Affairs committee hearings during the special session that was held in January. Senator Womack mistakenly mentioned an off the record meeting that Cleo Fields attended about the manner in which the district was drawn. Womack had to clean up blurting this out in the middle of a meeting.
The day after the legislature voted in the majority black district, Cleo Fields submitted a press release announcing his run for the Congressional district. Almost a week after another decision was issued by the 5th Circuit holding the majority minority district as an unconstitutional violation of the 14th Amendment, Liz Murrill filed a request to stay the decision by the 5th Circuit pending a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the manner in which the majority minority district was drawn.
None of this was by happenstance.
He's being backed by big dollar donor Jim Bernhardt.
