Supreme Court upholds 'one person, one vote'

Illegals and non-citizens can't vote, so what are you complaining about?

This case is about representation, and the Constitution of the United States spells it out explicitly.

And who is complaining? I am delighted with the decision.

You're absolutely right, I misread the ruling.

Don't feel alone. So did I. I had to correct my OP, which I did a few posts into the thread. So I am brain dead too. LOL.

I don't remember Majority Leader George Mitchell filibustering Clarence Thomas, let alone denying him a meeting or a hearing.
And oh yes--McConnell's favorite--give our guy an up-and-down vote but not yours.

This unprecedented obstruction will further deepen the Grand Canyon we already have in DC.
And simply be repeated by DEMs if a GOP wins the POTUS.

I hope losing the Senate is worth a 4-4 court that is proving to be anything but a 4-4 court.
Once they all die off, we'll have a 0-0 court .

Considering that four of those judges are liberals, adding another liberal judge would not help.

I remember Biden, Schumer, Reid, and Obama being against any hearings at the end of a Republican's term in the White House at various points in their careers. Quit whining about Republicans this and Republicans that if all they are doing is following the playbook the Democrats helped write.

Amazing how liberals love to pretend their side has clean hands.

You didn't bother to read the linked article obviously.
he "one person, one vote" case was among the most consequential of the high court's term, and it delivered a major victory for civil rights groups that opposed opening the door to drawing districts based on the number of voters, rather than total population.

"Total population" -- which includes many people who can't vote for various reasons - including being too young to vote, or have not registered to vote. In other words, citizens.

Please tell us when Democrats actually did what GOPs are currently doing now with USSC Justice appointees.

GOPosters who whine about DEMs did it first can't prove it.

You'd do well to follow TD's advice on this one.

As Kirk is doing to try to save his Senate seat .

What about prisoners? Prison populations count as part of their local populous. Which means, the largely rural locales show a huge bump in population (and need for representation), while concentrating the franchise in the hands of relatively fewer voters, most of whom vote Republican. An overwhelming percentage of prisoners come from inner cities, which happen to trend heavily Democratic in terms of voting preference; their voices aren't heard in the rural communities in which they live after being moved to a prison.

You're cool with this?

The principle and the idea of obstruction are the same. So, I guess the difference is the democrats say it then back down and republicans actually keep their word? I dunno.

Whether or not people are cool with it doesn't matter. The Constitution says you count everybody. Don't like it? Then amend the Constitution.
 
Ah shucks, another blow to the Republican's Voter Suppression Campaign.

Which is all about suppressing voters who tend not to vote Republican.

As Republicans know, and even admit:

From Wisconsin Rep. Glenn Grothman on how Republicans can win his state this November:
I think Hillary Clinton is about the weakest candidate the Democrats have ever put up. And now we have photo ID, and I think photo ID is going to make a little bit of a difference as well.

Hey Glenn! You're not supposed to admit it in public!!! You're supposed to angrily deny that Republicans would ever stoop so low!!!

I'm not discussing that, but what was said in the OP. Keep up.

If you are only discussing the OP, you are for some reason apparently ignoring post #103, danarhea's reply to your post #102 - WHY?

Then there is the ever so small fact that the passage I quoted was from the article linked to in the OP. It does seem you prefer fighting with those imaginary points in support of your beliefs rather than discussing reality - your choice.
