Five days ago, in a truly surprising turn of events, a federal judge in Georgia ordered the creation of several new congressional districts that are majority black. Judge Steve Jones, who was appointed to the bench by Barack Obama, ordered the state legislature to throw out the current election maps and instead redraw the maps so that a total of eight electoral districts (which are currently majority white) can be flipped to instead be majority black.

And, of course, since this is the year 2023, it’s all being done under the banner of “anti-racism.”

But this is much bigger than Georgia, it is happening nationwide because of a recent Supreme Court ruling where Roberts and Kavanaugh voted w Sotomayor, Jackson, and Kagan to say that electoral districts can be based on race. Even worse, the districts must be based on race.

In a 500-plus-page whopper of an opinion, U.S. District Judge Steve Jones ruled that the maps discriminated against Black voters in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. He ordered the legislature to produce new compliant maps by Dec. 8.

“In the event that the State is unable or unwilling to enact remedial plans by December 8, 2023 that satisfy the requirements set forth above, the Court will proceed to draw or adopt remedial plans.”

Jones is the same judge who, in recent weeks, received some national attention for handling attempts by defendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ Georgia RICO case to remove their prosecutions to federal court.

This redistricting case in Georgia — alongside similar ones in states including Alabama and Louisiana — will have significant bearing on the 2024 race for the House of Representatives majority. With Republicans only controlling the chamber by a slim margin, a handful of new court-ordered majority-Black districts, which will almost certainly elect Democrats, will reduce Republicans’ artificial advantage.

Unless my congress critters are Swiss and Irish, they can't represent me at the state or national levels.
