clarence thomas alabama redistricting case finally gave us the Supreme Court drama we needed, and by "needed," I mean it's the political equivalent of watching paint dry, but somehow still more entertaining than your aunt's Facebook rants. Seriously, the guy just wrote a concurrence that's basically an essay on "states' rights" and "heck, let's just let Alabama do whatever it wants," because who needs voting representation when you have textualism and a history of ignoring precedent? TL;DR: Clarence Thomas says "no thanks" to drawing new maps, calls the whole thing a federal overreach, and now Alabama Republicans are probably popping champagne. AITA for thinking this is just going to make the 2024 election map look like a gerrymandered Picasso painting?
