Clarence Thomas Alabama Redistricting Case Shows Justices Have No Clue About Common Sense Reality
So the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on the Alabama redistricting case again, and Justice Clarence Thomas is apparently ready to tear apart the lower court’s ruling. Meanwhile, the rest of us are stuck in a state where our own legislature can’t draw a simple map without it turning into a federal circus. Common sense says if you let the same people who can’t decide on a school budget draw voting lines, you’re going to get chaos. Thomas is right to call this out—stop treating voters like pawns. Maybe if these judges spent less time on legal theory and more in a real Alabama living room, they’d figure out that gerrymandering isn’t a partisan game, it’s a middle finger to the guy next door who just wants his vote to actually count.
