The decision has nothing to do with their stated reasons; they are in favor of racism, but don't want to say so

It's obvious bullshit. If anything that logic would uphold the stay.

Dont forget 9 months is too close to an election to approve a supreme court justice nomination, unless the president is Republican and then less than a month is plenty of time

Fuck that shit. They use this argument whenever it suits them. And what suits this fascist admin, suits the SCOTUS.

Didn't Trump himself appoint SCOTUS judges "too close" to the election? Clowns.

But wouldn't the opposite be true? Changing the maps too close to the election is a problem. "Keeping them the same too close to the election" makes no sense.

Texas passed their new maps on August 29th. On November 18 the district court ordered them to revert to their previous maps.

Apparently the SC’s Republican cult members think this will be too difficult for Texas?

No no, dont even give it that much dignity. The complainants are not asking to "block the map" too close (11 months) to elections. They are asking that the map not be illicit, unethically changed 5 years early, based off the explicit public request of the President who is not meant to have power over state election matters, with the explicitly stated intent of gerrymandering out more seats for Republicans that they "deserve" than they otherwise would have won, only 15ish months to the elections (which is apparently plenty of time). Their "reasoning" doesn't make sense because it's not reasoning. It's blatant full chested support of voter suppression/disenfranchisement to bolster their party and their autocratic President. They're so full of shit you could smell them talking from the next room over. Fuck those lying, cheating, corrupt, un-American, fascist cunts.

The mask is off.

I 100% blame the Democratic party for this. They've been assisting the Republicans in their efforts to create this court for the last 40 years. Thomas should never have been confirmed to the court and Ruth Bader Ginsberg hung on at a time when she should have left while the "liberal" dems controlled both the presidency and the Senate and could easily have replaced her with a(n at least mostly) liberal justice.

It's too close to the election to not do it

Does it even fucking matter at this point? There will be zero repercussions for the blatant disregard for the law to serve the authoritarian regime so they can say whatever they want

If that happens, nations around the globe should really wake up to the threat coming from the USA.

...oh, who am I kidding...

Yeah, for real. Let’s hope the Majestic Imperious High Court deigns to grace us with any explanation. They love their emergency docket…

Here's the fun part. They'll use the shadow docket and won't give any rationale.

At least 11 years ago.

It functions pretty well at enriching a select few corporations and wealthy elites.

I obviously disagree with this ruling, but if they were to rule the opposite on California, the absolute sheer corruptness would be undeniable. And worthily of drastic and dramatic action on our (the citizens) part.
