Based Judge's Righteous Dissent in Texas Redistricting Case

In a 2-1 decusion, a Texas federal court found that the Texas redistricting map was unconstitutional. It will almost certainly get overturned on appeal.
In the meantime, if you want some entertainment, read Judge Jerry Smith's dissenting opinion thrashing the activist Judge Brown who wrote the majority opinion.
Judge Smith's dissent is found here:
Smith Dissent
Choice Quotes:
"I append this Preliminary Statement to...highlight the pernicious judicial
missbehavior of U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown. In my 37 years on the federal bench, this is the most outrageous conduct by a judge that I have ever encountered in a case in which I have been involved."
"The main winners from Judge Brown’s opinion are George Soros and Gavin Newsom. The obvious losers are the People of Texas and the Rule of Law."
"The resulting dissent is far from a literary masterpiece. If, however, there were a Nobel Prize for Fiction, Judge Brown’s opinion would be a prime candidate."
"In 37 years as a federal judge, I’ve served on hundreds of three-judge panels. This is the most blatant exercise of judicial activism that I have ever witnessed.
There’s the old joke: What’s the difference between God and a federal district judge? Answer: God doesn’t think he’s a federal judge.”
