GOP loses lawsuit claiming they have a constitutional right to gerrymander Michigan
Published 10 mins ago on April 15, 2020By Matthew Chapman



On Wednesday, a federal appeals court threw out a lawsuit from the Michigan GOP claiming that a newly-created independent redistricting commission violates their constitutional rights.

In Michigan Republican Party v. Benson, the Sixth Circuit rejected the GOP’s argument, and will not block the commission from proceeding.

3. Of course!

It is the only way they can win & there are zero consequences to discourage this. LOCK THEM.UP!

[klook]

2. More great news from the Midwest!

[SheltieLover]

6. Yes but repukes

currently blocking a hospital entrance & keeping truckers from keeping supply chain going in MI right now.

Theres a thread on it.

Repukes revolting Gretchen's stay home orders

14. We celebrate victories while resolving never to give up.

The Republicans keep coming like waves of Orcs in Lord of the Rings, so we can never take anything for granted.

16. Right!

I hope National Guard arrests them & courts make examples of them. Like 20 yrs each for terrorist acts during crisis! Furious they are blocking hospital road, per DUers reports!

[The Magistrate]

4. Excellent News, Ma'am

This one may be sustained on appeal, even to what passes nowadays for a high court in the capitol. It rests in no way on any statistical argument, or any form of judicial constraint on legislative power. It is simply a question of whether a law duly passed is to be followed or not.

7. TY, Magistrate!

👍👏👏👏👏👏

5. "violates their constitutional rights"??

Their right to maintain an indefinite unelected hold over state power?

[SheltieLover]

8. Apparently...

🤮

9. Have they appealed to the Supreme Court?

17. It'll get there, no doubt.

I just wonder how Roberts will vote.

And I pray for the health of RBG.

10. We busted our asses to get this on the ballot.

It was bipartisanly supported and these whiners can go fuck themselves. Great news!

[SheltieLover]

11. Yes but

if word of this decision reaches crazed protesters who are blocking ambulance road to hospital & truckers from moving, they might get violent!

Be safe, MI DU!

[SheltieLover]

13. BTW, TY

On behalf of America for your work to ensure fairness in voting!

[llmart]

12. Great news!

Let them waste their money on frivolous lawsuits like this one.

Michigan voters passed a bill fair and square re: gerrymandering in 2018 and the GOP snowflakes got their panties in a bunch over it. Republicans apparently have gotten the notion that they have a constitutional right to cheat.

[SheltieLover]

15. They sure have!

Precisely why it is imperative the mob currently stealing our country blind & destroying every dearly held institution be prosecuted to the absolute fullest extent of the law! And imprisoned for life.

Nixon showed them it's ok to screw voters & the country. Pardoned!

Reagan showed them it's ok to rape the country. Sainthood.

Time to play hardball with the cons! Lock them up!

19. "What's next? Women voting? What has happened to my country?"

[bluecollar2]

20. What? Women can vote?

They matter?

When did we allow that to happen?

Trumpie heads are spinning....

[SheltieLover]

22. LOL

Yup

[bluecollar2]

24. Good God...what's next?

Next thing you know they'll be allowed to wear pants...

The end times are here folks!!!!

[SheltieLover]

25. LOL

Right? 😱

21. Republican Party vs We the people of Michigan

They despise democracy.

[SheltieLover]

23. Should be

designated a domestic terrorist org. Plenty of evidence.
