So if you want to make sure that, let's say, Mike Johnson in Shreveport, the current speaker of the House, keeps his district, that's a good enough reason to undermine the ability of black voters.
So you can be partisan.
You can be partisan.
You can care about incumbents.
Well, that is allowed because in 2018, the Supreme Court... Oh, for God's sakes.
If this is Mr. Jingles again, I am going to be very upset.
No, no, no.
In a case called Ruscio versus Common Cause, the Supreme Court said, this case is so interesting because it was brought by Democrats challenging redistricting in North Carolina and Republicans challenging redistricting in Maryland.
So these two cases come together and end up at the Supreme Court, bipartisan, great opportunity to address the way in which extreme partisan gerrymandering
undermines our democratic system.
Right.
Yeah.
And the Supreme Court said it really looks like it threatens our democratic norms, but there's nothing we can do about it.
We are just mere judges.
We are judges who can decide that abortion is not a fundamental right.
We can decide that major questions have to be decided by us.
We can do Citizens United.
We can do all the things.
But we can't do this.
And so that was 2018.
