Louisiana Legislature walked out. Fed Judge says she will draw the black vote map.

How is this even remotely legal?
If I was in the legislature, I would just vote to reject it. I would also make up rules.

2/3 of the legislature and overrode the governors veto. Absolutely absurd

Edit: overrode the veto

This is how a state loses population right here. Long term consequences to drawing maps based solely on racial makeup.

I actually like this idea and if we had a governor with a fricking sack, he'd call a special session to do just that.

I believe that federal judge is Shelly Dick. She is an Obama appointment.

It isn't.

Louisiana drew up maps like that twice in the 1990s and the federal courts threw them out.

Racial gerrymandering is illegal and unconstitutional.

Democrat’s don’t give two fricks about the constitution unless it suits their purpose.

To them it is “Just a piece of paper.”

Overstepping of FEDERAL judicial branch. State level would be ok since election matters are a State matter.

Sounds like the Legislature needs to grow some balls and sue the judge in court for trying to create legislation. Let this go to SCOTUS.

Vitter did his best to hold this appointment up. He knew she was bad news.
