Alabama asked the Supreme Court to intervene after a lower court blocked its new congressional map.

Alabama’s request to toss out its racist, gerrymandered congressional map comes after the Supreme Court last month declared Louisiana’s newly-drawn Congressional map an unconstitutional gerrymander.

The case, State of Louisiana v. Phillip Callais (and the related Press Robinson v. Phillip Callais), stems from Louisiana’s woke lawmakers caving to left-wing judges and creating a second “majority-minority” congressional district.

Earlier this week, a three-judge panel ruled that Alabama’s new congressional map violated the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Alabama state officials asked the Supreme Court to overturn the lower court’s decision.

The Supreme Court set a Monday 4 pm ET deadline for the ‘civil rights’ attorneys to respond.

State officials in Alabama asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to lift a lower-court ruling that thwarted a GOP congressional map that would likely leave Democrats with just one House seat.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall filed an emergency appeal with the high court just one day after a three-judge panel ruled that the state could not use a map this year that the legislature approved in 2023, which was never implemented due to legal challenges.

The 2023 map would likely produce a 6-1 split between Republicans and Democrats in Alabama’s Congressional delegation, as opposed to the current 5-2 divide. The expected shift would come from eliminating one of the state’s two majority Black districts, which are both currently held by Democrats.

The unanimous three-judge panel ruled that violated the Constitution’s 14th Amendment by discriminating against African-Americans and diluting their votes, but the state argued in its high court filing Wednesday that the lower court’s decision is legally flawed because it essentially forces the state to prioritize creating two majority Black districts over all other considerations.

Earlier this month Alabama filed an emergency appeal at the Supreme Court asking the high court to allow it to throw out its current rigged congressional map.

The US Supreme Court previously cleared the way for Alabama to throw out its current rigged congressional map.
