The same SCOTUS that just told Alabama to go ahead and redraw its maps? The same SCOTUS that keeps green lighting drumpf with the shadow docket abuse?

I'm willing to bet they will just say "uh.... we need to review the merits of this and we'll decide in two years".......... they only move fast when they need a way to help drumpf with no explanation to the lower courts..........

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters
