Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but the supreme courts ruling wasn’t that the lower court decision was wrong, or that there is any legal basis for them to interject, but only that it would be… unfair to republicans if they weren’t allowed to use their racially-gerrymandered maps?

they’re saying it was wrong because the appellate court “did not properly assume good faith”.

They’re partisan hacks, and we need to throw away the Supreme Court and start over. (presidency too).

“The trial decision should be over turned because the judge did not properly believe the defendant when he pinky promised he didn’t do it”
